Moksh Indian Cuisine

Moksh Indian CuisineWe remember when the first Indian restaurant opened. It was on the corner of Youdian Road and Hubin Road. This was back before all those trees were planted right in the middle of Hubin Road. Located in a place called, Contempo Bar, it was knocked down shortly after having opened in early 2002 if memory serves us correctly. Then we got the cute little location that is Havelli, followed up with the southern guys at Indian Kitchen located farther down Nanshan Road. Now we have our fourth Indian place opening and it’s more Punjabi food than anything Moksh Indian Cuisineelse. Tony, one of the owners, assures us that they get their spices straight from India to ensure the most authentic flavors. We went twice last month, once for their opening party which was replete with an awesome buffet dinner and sweet belly dancer; and another time to try out their menu offerings.

On our second trip, we started off our meal with some of that wonderfully thin and crispy bread called, Papadam (6RMB). We then were served two vegetable Samosas (6RMB/per). The Chicken Lolly Pop (38RMB) was...

We started off with some Grilled Salmon topped with a nice tartar sauce. Second came the spicy Kimchi and third came the Sauce Grilled Chicken. Fourth, we got the Mentaiko Egg Roll, and fifth arrived the Meiji Beef. Sixth we had the large Tuna Salad, and seventh we were served one of their popular California Rolls. Eighth, an order of Fried Potatoes was squeezed onto our table. Ninth came a very large Kimchi Pot...

After all it's the West Lake in the summer heat,
Displaying scenes no other scenes have:
Green lotus leaves stretch so far to the horizon
Bathed in sunshine are exceptionally pink lotus blossoms.

Alright, opening with a poem is a little sappy, but really what else can we say about the lotuses on the lake? We're serious. We got nothin'. You've just gotta get out and see them for yourself. That's the beauty of August. They are in full bloom, and some plants are as tall as humans.

In last month's magazine, we told you about how the lotus plants were taking a beating in some areas of the lake. This isn't one of them. The Northern Inner Lake, (north side of the Broken Bridge) has got some of the best patches of...
