When we left for our curry tour, it was only drizzling lightly. The International Curry House was the choice for this week. The place was easy enough to be found, just right across the Southorn Playground in Wanchai. Alice thought the bad luck started right at the moment she stepped into the restaurant.
Our party arrived right before the lunch hour rush. There were only two tables, a young family and another quiet family. The quiet family was great, enjoying their lunch in quiet chatter and munching. The young family was a nightmare from Super Nanny, before the makeover. Then another family came with a woman talking loudly and repeatedly on her Maxim turnip cake. To make things worse, Vasco was being called a rat!
We ordered beef samosa, egg curry, mutton biryani and chicken vindaloo. The beef samosa came with a dish of mysterious green vinegar and something...samosa greasy. The egg curry is served with hard-boiled eggs. Alice gave it an ok, she preferred fried eggs. The mutton in the biryani was tender, and acceptable. But biryani was not quite right, not enough raisin, not the right kind of rice, no cashew nut and not enough spice. The generic curry sauce was topped with fried garlic slices and chewy pineapple. The chicken in the vindaloo was tender but without the taste of curry.
When we left the restaurant, the downpour was so heavy that it was a complete disaster. We were wet to the bone. Alice bumped her head so badly on the taxi door that she was crying. Now there is a big lump of pain on her head.
International Curry House
Food: 7/10...mostly from the two guys
Luck elements: 0/10
Final verdict: 0/10...it's important to have luck after eating at a restaurant!
