american chopsuey with sambar sauce
Woe betides any Hyderabadi restaurant that does not have the "multicuisine" tag on it. Even the sambar-rasam-dosa hangout Chutneys feels compelled to offer everything from north Indian to - what purports to be - Chinese cuisine. I guess it's to do with making it easy for everyone in the group to find food they like; however it ends up with most places serving a wide range of food, with as wide a variance in quality. If I had to pick just two peeves - I wish some of these restaurants would figure that not all north Indian dishes need to be garnished with cherries; and that drowning food in MSG does not make it Chinese.
Dined at Lautre, a new Fusion 9 competitor in town. The owner claims the French name means "the other one"... but its going to be a while before Fusion 9 has to worry about the other one giving it a run for its money. It's neat in that you can try out paneer tikkas along side spicy Burmese curries and pasta, but the flavours are sometimes a bit off on the more exotic items. Definitely avoid the sizzling brownie; curiosity got the better of us and we tried it, only to survive a burnt brownie topped with ice cream, on a sizzler platter with bubbling caramel letting out copious amounts of smoke...
For the uninitiated - its pronounced Low-ooo-tré!
