Stars in your eyes

By Niall O Murchadha

In the world of cuisine, Chinese people employ some basic assumptions : Chinese food is the best in the world; French and Italian food comes in second and third , in no particular order.

Indian food has traditionally not featured in this mindset. However, Chinese people may be shocked at how foreigners would rate Chinese food compared with Indian .

The food at Asian Star sates the cravings of body, mind ,and soul, and would even distract a condemned man from our execution . The barbequed chicken in a buttered tomato sauce tickles the throat like a soothing balm. The mutton and Indian rice offers a pleasant respite from the banalities of your bog-standard mifan. The vegetable rolls offer a taste explosion of vegetables and spices .

All of this is accentuated with warm naan bread drizzled with garlic. After that, the taste buds and stomach will be sated , a last meal that would see any convict strolling contentedly to the gallows.

The cornerstone of the food is the fact the food is cooked by an Indian and all of the spices and herbs are painstakingly imported from India. This is perhaps why Asian Star is going strong after fifteen years in business.
