Windsor Pub 3.85/5.00
Chamique, Paz, Jenx, Nicki, Aleph, Dilettante and I went to Windsor Pub for dinner on Saturday. (Sorry, no pictures!)
It's one of my favourite places to eat. The food is strangely comforting, with curry leaf and coconut. Their prawns, the Masala Fried version, is to die for.(Madjos, Aleph and I one ate a good twenty plates of it.) We loved their Chilly Cheese Toast and the Spicy Chicken Sausages in Hot Garlic Sauce. Their Coorgi Pandhi Curry and Mallu Erachi Olatheuthe are signature dishes. As is their Seafood Soup.
Aleph favours the Kingfish steak, Chamique the Prawn Curry and Appams, Dilettante the Kerala Chilly Chicken and Dosas, Paz the Fish and Chips. The seafood is really very good. Other must trys are the Egg and Kheema Parota and the Kothu Parota. Did I say I like the food? And the other thing is, the beer is fresh and strong, well as strong as draught beer can be. And a glass is free with every entree.
Music is a little loud at times, the crowd is always fun but the ventilation can get stuffy at times. Oh, and make sure you have the Tosca Cake with Ice Cream for dessert. You'll find it nowhere else and it is worth it. WP treats old customers like old friends and make me go back again and again.
Oh, and if you're in the mood for Waffles and other Continental cuisine, try Cafe De Lekkerbek. Seems like a good place to visit and I love waffles.

It is good food. Such good food.
Sorry please, but I don't really like appams. The prawn curry's good, yes, and the masala fried prawns (which Paz and I began attacking well before the rest arrived) were awesome.
Chilly cheese toast was passable. Tosca cake was surprisingly good. (Why 'tosca' again?)
Must go back more often and develop my own list of favourites.
Not really sure why it's called a Tosca Cake. But I think it's a Scandenavian recipe with an almond and caramel topping. Perhaps "Tosca" is almond in some language.
Chilly cheese toast, ask Aleph about the ones at the Snooty Club. That's the shiznit!
And good beer. Much better than what passes for beer at Pecos/Mojos.
Maybe Tosca refers to the Puccini opera. Aamir Khan's remark "Woh moti wali opera singer" is so true for most of the divas who have essayed the role (pardon the pun).
If you eat that kind of stuff, then that's what you'll become.
According to Google, Tosca is "A southwest wind on Lake Garda in Italy."
I maybe wrong though.
