| The sandwich was here as you can see it disappeared pretty fast. |
From the first moment I held it in my hands I knew it was something
special. And when I chomped into it and savored that first bite I had an
epiphany. I realized this sandwich was the most perfect one I had ever eaten.
Yes! I finally found it.
I agree it is not a life changing discovery
maybe like the cure for Aids?
Regardless I feel euphoric about it. So much so I am dedicating a
post to it.
I have always described my sandwiches as good, nice tasty etc but
there has always been something which has been holding me back from claiming
any particular one to be absolutely perfect. That was until I went to HTC (Heladiv Tea
Club) with my buddy Y for a quick bite over the weekend. For some strange
reason the entire Dutch hospital complex was deserted and there were people
standing outside the doors of the various restaurants trying to hustle the few
people who where their inside. Reminded me of the touts outside stores in
Pettah.
Not that it had to do anything with my sandwich.
But maybe… just maybe… the lack of people might have been the
reason why that the guy who was executing our order could give it his undivided
attention and create a masterpiece.
The bread was nice, soft and warm. The vegetables were crisp and
fresh. The tandoori chicken filling was full of flavor, moist and juicy. The
accompanying salad was as fresh. I was
amazed at how they managed to keep the vegetables so crisp and fresh because that’s
where most of the others screw up. It seemed as if it was freshly cut even
though it was not.
And then things got even better when we sampled the Tiramisu which
was absolutely heavenly. According to my friend “Y” this was the real Tiramisu
made using fresh cream instead of mousse which is what is generally used in
most restaurants. And the portion was large enough to be shared by two.
All in all it was a good experience and I can’t wait to try the Tiramisu
once again. Also hats off to the guys
who manage HTC – though I still consider calling it a Tea Club is a misnomer.

The weather must be keeping people away, no one wants to get out with this type of rain.

ARTRA - Ty
Tablet: Guess what I am feeling hungry again too. I really want to sample that Tiramisu once more.
GG- He he I know it is kind of funny isn't it?
Jack: Actually Jack at that time the weather was quite nice but it was about one in the afternoon on a Saturday.
Cadence: Wow I didn't realize there were others like me but I am sure glad to know it. The Sandwich I tried was Tandoori Chicken. I must confess Cadence that I have never tried the Cafe Che Tiramisu. I generally tend to avoid all eating establishments run by Harpo because of a few bad experiences. But I must say I have been hearing that the food at the Harpos joint at the DH is supposed to be quite good. But I still have not gathered up the courage or conviction to put this to the test.
The sandwich sounds heavenly... must give it a try!
