Today after work, I had to pick up my friend from NYC at
South Station in Boston. She was late due to traffic, I took the opportunity to check out a few more pianos in town,
then headed to
Shanti -Taste of India, an Indian restaurant located in the Roslindale area. The decor was pretty decent,
and the food I got wasn't too bad either. The Coconut Soup (
Rich, warm soup made with slightly sweetened
coconut milk topped with pistachio) was too sweet for my liking though,
and the Cheese Poori wasn't too flavorful either.
Thankfully, The Shaami Kebab (
deep fried ground lamb patties cooked in light
spices) was pretty tasty, especially with the various sauces,
while the Lamb Patia (
Exotic mango and ginger sauce dish tempered with
fresh coriander and garlic. Served with basmati rice) was interestingly sweet but tantalizing all the same.
Overall, not too bad a meal. After picking my friend up, we decided to head to
Shojo in Chinatown for drinks and some quick food. I got a non-alcoholic Shojo Punch,
and for food we got the Suckling Pig Baos, the Warm Glass Noodle Salad (
Toasted Peanuts, Chicken, Vegetables),
and the Almond Shrimp Balls (Vanilla Rhubarb Gel).
I have to say that the shrimp balls were just so-so, although the buns and the noodles were pretty good. With that, we headed home for the day, going to bed earlier to get ready for a day of fun tomorrow.
