MoruMita Foods Srimongol

Food Lovers!!! I apologise for my absence last couple of months, I have been terribly busy with..... (drum roll) OUR EP!!!!!

Yes my friends, Zak Dylan Wass, (my friend from the first day of college) and I finally finished the EP we have been planning for years. It's a mix of English, Bengali and Spanish songs (yes Spanish!!)

If you'd like, I would be honoured if you had a listen to it while you read the rest of the post? (buy it if you like :D)




So, back to food. Today is Thanksgiving and what a more perfect day to sit on my bed after devouring some homecooked polau and beef curry, and post some sweet pics from my trips. I have spent a good amount time in Bangladesh last year, and thanks to some awesome people in my life I have actually been leaving Dhaka. Here is another beauty (or rather BEAST) of a meal I had in Srimongol.

Yes we were 2 people. Yes we ate everything.

This is a local roadside restaurant called MoruMita Foods, (one of the fancier ones)

This is their famous "Soup" rather a chicken light curry eaten with their incredible bread. (To the dismay of my belt buckle, I have a newfound love for different kinds of bread nowadays)

And then proceeded to main courses (after which we ordered more soup and bread cos it was actually the best part)

And of course to End, some steaming tea. Can't wait to head back to Bangladesh next month. YES I'll be there to release the EP. Those of you who liked it, please buy it online here, come to our release (details at www.facebook.com/armeenm )                          And thank you for visiting my blog, I am proudly going on 93,000 Hits this month!! Would love that to be true for my music too! (please?)   Don't forget to join my facebook page for the blog : https://www.facebook.com/dhakadelicacy                                           

ShaatRong, Bengali Ala Carte to the Finest at Srimongol

YAY We reached 60,000 hits today! Just when I'm about to post one my favourite meals of 2012.

Shaatrong is this amazing little restaurant in Srimongol which mainly features the 7 layer tea on the outside but is the BEST homemade'ish food, and one of the best places to eat in Srimongol. It was at this meal me and huckleberry friend were commenting on how we tend to search the whole world for food that tastes like our home.

And it did! Those of you who have seen my Mum's cooking can tell from the pictures.

The food was made a'la carte so we had to wait a bit of time. In the meantime we sat outside and enjoyed the 8 degrees weather and a cup of tea

                                                                                                                                                           













And THEN came the food, Fresh from the stove (the only way it should be) and all at once!

Bless Bangladeshi restaurants for Always serving salad, although it did not prevent me from gaining 2 kgs on this trip, STILL it's always fresh, nicely placed and FREE. (Learn something 12 dollar salad servers)

Niramish , what a fresh beauty !!
it was perfect and not overcooked at all, with the light spices.

                                                                                Daal Bhorta

                                                                                                                                                                   Tomato Bhorta!! Oh this was perfection, with the sweet tomatos, the hint of coriander and onions making the great combination.

Alu Bhorta

The light Jhol Murgi was perfect!

And the most beautiful thing of all time: Gorom Gorom Shada Bhaat

Steaming Gorom Bhaat

I love my bhaat shots hehe





We ended up ordering there again (when I fell a bit sick) but it wasnt the same. This must be had in the cool sunshine winter's day, fresh from the kitchen

Roadside Nasta (breakfast)

I got to visit Srimongol this year! En route we stopped an hour before Srimongol at a small hotel for breakfast. It was pretty decent! (not as good as the deema parata near Cotic Cruise's anchor,  but decent)

The standard breakfast is Parata and Deem here, but they had some veggies sitting out which we ordered (cold)

(This is the point in my Bangladesh trip that I gained SO MUCH weight, so enjoyyyy, hehe)

The Booth which was beautiful
