A food photo a day - Day 26

As eager I would be to try newer cuisine, Hubby will usually be right as to weather I will like it or not. During a visit to Santa Cruz, I wanted to try a Sri Lankan Restaurant, as I had never before experienced it.

Coconut Roti with Pickle and Coconut Curry

Davenport Artichokes - Shallow fried Artichoke hearts, Thai Green Curry and Kaffir Lime Aioli

Spring Dosa

A unique cozy place - unfortunately this was taken

Potpourrie

The decor was nice and the menu unique - Casablanca Ravioli, Brown Rice Biryani, Banana Blossom Salad, Ceylon Chilly Curry, Fresh Fig Naan! But the portion was small and pricey.

This was our first experiment with Ethiopian food. Firstly, we were not sure if a vegetarian option was available. The food was definitely tasty, but was served cold. Then learnt that is the way the food is served here.

We ordered for Vegetarian combo and all the side dishes were served on the sourdough flatbread known as Injera. Injera is made out of iron rich Teff flour. They gave unlimited Injera's rolled in a basket along with this.

Found this in some coffee place. Surprising I do not have any photos of my morning joe from the coffee shop visits!

Beaming from the success of Pav Break/Dinner rolls, I wanted to try Potato Bun. Something that I missed staying away from home. Read more about the regional delicacy, the Iyengar Bakery Potato Bun here.

This was my first tryst with Burmese food. Oh Boy! I must say, it surely was a feast for the tastebuds.

Samosa Soup - A delicious soup made with samosas, potatoes, onions, lentils, cabbage and falafel

Brown Rice & Fiery Tofu & Vegetables - Wok fried tofu, string beans, bell peppers and basil in lightly fiery Rangoon sauce
