Flambe

David Gilmour croons, "Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today." Yeah, maybe Floyd had some pronominal tricks to kill time but when you're hungry none of that matters. The Hoggers are the most puerile lot you'll come across. They believe it to be senesce in many ways to have food at their will. So, when they say lunch's at 4 pm, then it fucking is. For those who came in late, please be informed that good eateries close after 3 & then open only at dinner time. A burst of momentous brilliance (considering the fact that he's not the best person around to make choices) from Fin had them staring at the entrance of Flambe in Kormangala.

Achari Tandoori Mushroom and Buffalo Chicken Wings

The entrance was an understatement with the valour of an unintentional estrangement. The place wasn’t particularly appealing in any way. But again, where’s the need to please any puritans or dogmatics. They took those faltering baby steps to hit the roof top, but in classy vulnerability. The menu was at an enigmatic level concurrent with the fact that Flambe is a Multi cuisine restaurant. Bob immediately hit the bar with effable joy as it was happy hours & did not want to remain sober & sad. He also dragged Bryan away from those boring communist books he’d been hooked to since grade 4. As the nagging ones were enjoying berry nights to the merry, the onus to order was left to the rest.

Sam glanced at the menu with inexorable adulation while Fin still couldn’t get past the starters page. Meanwhile, the rouges at the bar counter gave some cocktail mixing classes to the bartender & in the process burnt few fingers. After much deliberation & arguments the picks included Achari Tandoori Mushrooms & Buffalo Chicken Wings as starters. The main course was Vegetable Sizzler for Fin, Thai Red Curry with Steamed Rice for Sam, Chicken Diane for Bob and Mix Grill Platter for Bryan. Sam suspected trifle quantities & had a Grilled Fish in Green Pepper Sauce for the side order.

Veg Sizzler, Chicken Diane, and Non-Veg Platter

The food burned without the torture of arch lights, precisely living up to the name of the place. The mushrooms remained crisp & well cooked. The chicken wings sweet but the delicious sauce negated that to make it iridescently edible. The Thai red curry had perfect blend of the spices not making a over the top attempt to look authentic. Vegetable Sizzler took some huge effort from Fin's side to finish. The creamy layered finish enticed him too. Chicken Diane was moist and well laid to perfect flames from the grill. The Mix Grill Platter had some luscious pork chops that were finely cut & prepared to perfection. The only notable disappointment was the Grilled Fish. As it wasn’t fresh the seasoning failed to impress them.

Flambe was just like a well balanced sentence & the food induced a lethargic ameliorated mood. Having explored yet another eatery, they faded into the sumptuous garden of evil engulfed by the intoxicating twilight in a pastel hue of stunning silence. Time, for now, seemed an outdated concept.

Pat wasn’t able to make it as he has a serious point of concern these days. He keeps wondering what the guy who discovered milk was doing with the cow, in the first place. The Pseudo Sophisticated was preoccupied being himself as temporary replacement for the boss on Dilbert strips. Living his dream was too exulting for him to consider lingering at such despicable joints.
