Having some Indian food at Moto Sumiyoshi this evening. This plate
cost 1600 yen and was rather scrumptious. Name of the restaurant was
Lord Buddha.
Did I mention I was brought up by an Indian family back in the UK?

元住吉でディナー。1600円でかなり美味しかった。ロードブッダというレストラン。

    Ah.. The national dish of UK.

    The middle sausage-like item looks like a digested curry coming out at the other end (ring of fire).

    hmm looks like an interpretation of indian food. Interesting how different countries put their own spin cultural meals ^^

      That happens of course, think of California Roll sushi.

      Remember too that India is a huge country, including Pakistan, Ceylon and Bangladesh in the continent. From the North West Frontier, to the Deccan to the Carnatic is thousands of miles, many languages and many varieties of food.

    Nothing against Indian food but it always a bit too spicy for me. I guess at my age my stomach cannot tolerate spicy food any longer. Though I wish...

    Ate at a really nice Indian Bar/restaurant when i was in Tokyo last. Don´t really have the nicer, more expensive kind where I live, so it was a real treat. :D

    The only time I eat at Indian restaurants are when the place is a buffet. I always forget which of the pastes I like so I end up eating everything. I think the green one is one of the ones I like.

    I tries some icecream from India. I thought black licorice icecream was strong, but THIS was stronger. It taste like a flower, a Rose maybe? Very pungent. But after the initial shock it was good, but probably to much for most.

    Indian food is so yummy. My favourite is Butter Chicken. How do you stay so thin with all the eating that you do? Must be all the Storm Trooper Dancing! ;-)

    I'm always up for curry, it goes well with rice. I can't remember where, but some people say, "a good curry can last a week of eating it all day." I think it's true for the most part!
