Lunch time was wet and windy and so I didn't venture far. I was lured by the Bay of Bengal (Greek Street East) and their three course set menu for £5.50 which I was told was lentil soup and chicken curry with rice. The soup was reasonably spicy but quite thin with a huge chunk of lemon floating in it which gave it an unusual, but not dreadful taste. The chicken curry was again, fairly spicy and had four chunks of very tender chicken in a rich sauce and was actually very good. No mention was made of the third course and so I nursed my £2.35 glass of wine to see if anything was offered, but it wasn't. When I asked for the bill no mention was made of why I was leaving without having my pud. Normally I'd have caused a fuss but to be honest I didn't really want a dessert and I thought if I asked, I'd have to eat it!
In the evening, The Lady and I had been invited to a 'Private View' at the Contemporary Applied Arts Gallery and we weren't sure whether there would be wine and canapes (but hoping there weren't as liberal as our previous trip there when The Lady lost all her loyalty cards in the back of a cab and another friend fell asleep on the train and went five stops past hers). Anyway I digress . . . . We decided that a quick glass of wine and totopos would be just the thing beforehand and so we met in Las Iguanas on Dean Street East http://www.iguanas.co.uk/las-iguanas-london-soho.asp. The lady treated to the wine and I bought the totpos and and spiral fries. The evening's main event had lots of lovely things that we couldn't afford but at least we had a free glass of fizz!
