Yes, this hotel's food and service are so much better than the Hong Kong Island Shangri-la; and only cost about 1/4 of the price. Tonight, we had such an enjoyable and flavorful dinner. Three dishes, two desserts, one chai tea and one glass of Merlot later, the cost was only US$48.00! I was expecting close to US$100.00. No sir! That was good!
The three dishes we chose: Haricot stir-fried (an Asian dish), pumpkin curry (Indian style), Paratha (Indian bread). The Haricot and the curry contrasted each other; each had its unique flavour; one spicy and crunchy and the curry was sweet and Indian curry flavour. Then the Paratha bread, warm, soft and the taste of fresh butter. I did work out hard for an hour this evening before dinner! Good thing. The waiters kept serving us our food. Very well trained. They all served us on the left side of us all the time so as not to intrude. Of course, being in Inida and tourist, the staff was also well trained on pushing for drinks.
After the meal, two bowls came. No, not soup. It was to wash our hands after the meal. Nice touch. Then dessert. We checked the menu, all sounded good. Being there were seven items on the list, we decided each order one dish and then split them. Iron-wife started from the top of the list, me from bottom up. She selected the Mango mouse cake with Mango and ginger sauce. Light. Me, bitter chocolate mouse cake with chocolate anice. This portion was a bit big. Half would be just fine.
Again, yes pool side. The same staff as this morning for b'fast. One staff actually said "see you in the morning". Wow.
One thing, there was no service charge on the bill anywhere. Guess I will have to drop off some tips tomorrow.
