Once again it was time for this festival at the Shangri La hotel. This time, it runs for a full 2 weeks.
I was there last night, courtesy of the Indian High Commission. They had invited a small group of people to kick off the festival, comprising the press and some officials from the various government departments. No fanfare or speeches, just good food.
It was the Line restaurants’ regular buffet spread but with 10 different types of briyanis from various regions of India, together with some Indian salads and desserts.
I tried out the different briyanis and they were good, some more than others. The only thing to note is that one needs to eat briyanis when they are fresh and when it is hot. It is tastiest at that point and somehow is no longer the same when it is not hot and becomes drier.
The desserts were excellent and not sweet. Just a pity I didn’t have the stomach to eat all the other food on offer last night.
