MILON BANGLADESHI RESTAURANT - GREENWICH VILLAGE, NYC


Always a joy to get down to the nitty gritty on sixth street with that Indian Food and once again yes it was.

My Culinary friend Chef Joe pointed out to me that Vindaloo is the Hottest (in a Paul Stanley voice) Dish on the Menu and as I wanted to step back for once on my typical choice of "Tikka Masala" selection on the menu I did such make that move and I certainly had no regrets.

Not crazy Hot but I would not dare to ask for Extra Hot but Hot it was.

Quite Excellent and there were even leftovers.


Papadum with Onions, Coriander and Tamarind Sauce.


Mulligatawny Soup.  My Standard.


Taken with a flash.

Chicken Vindaloo and Mulligatawny Soup ran me $15.50 since I missed the Lunch Special but whatever, This was Great.


Who needs Personal Property when the Food is this Great.


OH YEAH

WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN


Lentil Creamy Ranch - Not very Crunchy, light ranch Flavor, Made of Lentils.


Sweet Potato Chip with Quinona, Flax & Chia - Quite Crunchy and Grainy but in a good way, Rich in Flavor. Very Hearty.


Now these look good, lets see.

White Cheddar with Quinona Seeds - Natural Cheddar Flavor and uinona as Quinona comes, so far as I can tell.


These might look like the Ordinary Chip but I am assuming they are far from it.

Kettle Cooked in Avocado Oil - Like a Deli Chip, Almost Oniony but in fact as the name proclaims.
Tastes like an ordinary quality Chip.


Christina does not care for Tom Waits yet, perhaps someday when she becomes unretarded and wisens up. (yes I can be an opinionated jerk at times and this is one of them).
Well she does Dig The Coop so,...

These look like Sun Chips but no idea on Flavor or texture yet.

Really difficult this one, kind of Oniony once again but Garlicky with underlying lingers of many Spices.

Sun Dried Tomatos & Garlic Quinona Chips - Made of Quinona quite obviously. 


Best one yet, Like a Green Tasting Muncho thing. OK I take it back was so expecting Wasabi.

Edamame Beans Seasoned with Caesar Seasoning.

What Is Caesar Seasoning ?

High Fiber, All In All.

SANPELLEGRINO



Pompelmo (Grapefruit) - OK, I have been waiting for this moment "This Magic Moment", hope it works out that way.

Absolutely Delicious, a light Sugar Taste, Yes. Very Refreshing and Grapefruity. My investment in a six pack of this will not be lost. Really Good. I already Love their Orange Soda's but shall pontificate further soon.

RITA'S ICES - CUSTARD'S LAST STAND (NOT REALLY) Coney Island, Brooklyn.


Rita's is Outstanding and I must Implore you try the "Swedish Fish" Ice of which I have enjoyed on more than one occasion.

They do make an Outstanding "Water Ice" product with many Flavors on offer that are not pedestrian (Blood Orange anyone) but I did go out of my way to get some Custard of which I have not enjoyed in over 30 years yet what I was served was Vanilla Ice Cream, mind you of a high quality but this is not what I was seeking.

Custard contains more Egg Yolk and more air and is also made on a different piece of machinery. I suppose we shall call this the "Custard" machine but my memory does recall a slightly different Flavor as opposed to standard Ice Cream.


My Gelati of choice was served atop CHERRY Ice and was Quite Great, also the Cream did flow down to the last bite as I thought it might not but worked very well.


8/26/15 - I finally got around to trying the Blood Orange Ice of which I was very much looking forward to but unfortunately it was sadly lacking in the Flavor department, if you blindfolded me and asked me what Flavor it was I would be at a loss for words due to the blandness of this one. 

I do thank my friend Claudia for treating me however so as not to be completely disgraceful and ungrateful.


Window Display.


Claudia's Black & White Milk Shake, YUM.


8/27/15 - And the very next day we were back and this Green Apple Ice did not let me down, absolutely Delicious and Green Appley.

Blue Meanies not included.


This might be the one that started it all. Here we have a photo of Claudia's Swedish Fish Ice that I had sampled a few years back on a mini-vacation with Jamie in Atlantic City and guess what.

It tastes just like Swedish Fish.

KOSHERI - YOUR HOUSE CAFE Brooklyn, New York


The Lone Elbow.


Kosheri was the most interesting Dish. My friend Sarah who is also a most interesting dish took me out for some. We arrived at a Middle Eastern Hookah bar to order from the Menu and of course they knew what she was speaking of.

Kosheri is a Noodle (elbow mac) and Rice (rice) Dish topped with a slightly Spicy Tomato Sauce accented with Lentils and Dollops of Fried Onions.

Delicious it is.
