food review
went to try muthu's fish head curry today. Siyong and Jen said it's great and whenever i see tv programs on fish head curry Muthu's always get featured. On the other hand mom's colleague said it wasn't good and my parents dun think it's a big deal too. But tourists come from afar just to eat it (according to siyong the sultan of brunei comes over just for muthu) so at least must try once sia...since little india is kinda near.
verdict?
not too great. the curry is way too salty and it doesn't live up to its reputation. it was alright, edible, maybe 65/100 (mom gave it 35...haha). the other dishes that i tried wasn't that great too, probably just average. tandouri chicken and masala chicken were alright, the fish cutlet that looks like a potato thingy is quite gross, too much onions and other weird tasting substances. overall the food (esp curry) is quite disappointing given the hype and its legendary name.
what was great though was its staff and service. the restaurant itself is brand new and looks really nice, brightly lighted and bustling. it was a pleasant surprise since we were sort of expecting a mama stall (oops, racist ah racist).
(when my dad tried to call the waiter he started shouting "mama!" until my mom and i shushed him in horror..haha)
anyway the staff were friendly and extremely accomodating. when my dad called up to ask abt parking space they were like "yeah it's crowded on weekends but never mind just come we'll park for you". they close at 10pm but "never mind you order at 10 we'll wait for you to finish eating". when we didn't really know what dishes to order again it was "never mind come with me you point to what you want". haha. great service. and the waiters are more the bollywood-ish sort of indians, clean cut, english speaking, quite good looking, extremely polite. hao! :o)
price wise, it's not really that expensive. the lime juice was a bomb though, so ask for plain water instead. the rice and gravy is free-flow too, so theoretically you can get 10 pple there, order one small fish head, and everyone whack the gravy and rice and plain water.
final verdict: Just like pubbing, i wouldn't mind going back to muthu's if someone really wants to go, but i probably wouldn't initiate going back there. not gian anymore.
football review:
portugal is shit and overhyped. the match was pretty boring though i sat thru it. dunno if it's boring cos i outgrown football or cos i dun know any of the players.
anyway back to portugal. I was glad Deco and Ronaldo were put on in the 2nd half, wanted to watch them play and they did make a difference. Ronaldo is king of speed and gelek but his crosses are like shit. so he does a great deal breaking through on the left and then passes to no one. Figo is another overhyped king. I first saw him against England and he scored a stupendous goal, but sad to say that was the only thing he did worth remembering. i dun understand why pple say he's a great player. Even with Real although he's good at dribbling and running at defenders, he usually either runs with the ball until out of the field or passes to no one.
bye bye portugal.
England is also another overhyped team. can't wait for monday.
