I couldn't believe I could have such wonderful South Indian dishes in Shanghai but I did. Saturday, had lunch with Yuliani and her family. Yes, Yuliani. The former Saskatchewan high performance badminton coach; she brought the entire family to Shanghai to learn Mandarin.
Anyway, we went this this place about 15 minutes walking from my apartment. This place was called Good Times Cafe. It served South Indian dishes as well as a mixed of Anglo-saxon dishes. We ignored. The menu came in the form of newspaper. Menu items were embedded into the newspaper pages. Very cool; you could read interesting articles around the world. The newspaper got printed every six months. The dishes. Yes, was flavourful and spicy. The chicken kabob. Wow... Numerous herbs marinated and then grilled. O that was the free appetizer for us. 7 big chunks! Dolsa, wow. It was huge. A meal all by itself; it came with spicy vegetable soup. I had the lamb. Iron-wife, of course, had the cottage cheese. Yuliani's family ordered various of curry dishes. Mutton, chicken, beef. They all came out wonderful with this unique aroma just like in India. The curry were served in the restaurant's signature mugs. Huge. Prices not that bad, obviously. I didn't have to pay for the meal. Ha ha....
As to the service, excellent. I think the reason why, there was non of the young Chinese service staff. The kitchen was staff with native Indian chefs; the waiters were all Indians; I believed they were all owners. Found a good place to eat. Better than going to Velda over at Jianguo Lu. There, RMB148 per person you get all you can eat Sunday brunch.
