The past week has been quite a roll what with me not having time to blog. not that i hv a big fan following waiting for my blogs to roll...but it makes me happy when i someday sit back and read them. Had been to NJ to meet up with some friends and had some really good food over sat & sun! Planned fro a typical chettinadu style food and hit upon Anjappar with friends! To our surprise the food was excellent...I believe Chennai Anjappar is not all that great( per my hubby). I had this awesome "ennai kathrikai kuzhambu"....and managed to doggy pack the remaining back home...served me up for the dabba next day...what more can i ask than a reprieve from the kitchen on a monday morning..:-) all the non-veg lovers at the table must hv been wondering, what a waste , to hv someone eating veggie food at "anjappar"....true...the whole place was smelling of some lovely chicken roasts and vanjaram fish fries but that was not for me to relish ...only to smell.... its "Isha" all the way for me...
However, I have to mention, given that this restaurant was located in New Brunswick, NJ, USA did not make any difference to the ambience of the place...It was crowded with eager carnivores, waiting to dig their canines into those already dead and fried chicken, fish, crabs and goats...added to that, was the most shabby and unclean tables one can find in the United States i should say. Even restaurants in India would clean the tables and remove the left overs on to a tray and trash them....and here we could see cleaners, using a cloth and removing all the left overs on to the floor around the table....oh...what crap? I felt like walking out of the place that instant but as always, we resigned to the idea of some sumptuous meal and had them clean the table clear and the floor around too.... at-least all we could do was to make sure we had clean tables to eat!
