Dinner at the MONK

So on Thursday, me and a friend decided to try a high-end place for dinner. It should not be Indian/Muglai cuisine that was the unsaid agreement. So we went started asking our friends about any nice place around for a nice meal. Finally we got a few names such as Swagat, Pind Baluchi etc. Since, another unsaid agreement said that we would want to try a new place so we rejected most of the places from the list we had just compiled.
Left with very little choice, we started towards Galaxy hotel behind 32 Milestone to find a good and reclusive restaurant. After rowing the bike through the accumulated street water, we finally arrived at the galaxy. As we entered, the central lobby created the mood for the evening a nice quite place and live piano playing. We decided to sit there for sometime and decide if this is where we would like to have food there. The place was called "Bean Stalk" and they served only coffee and some deserts. So we decided to give it a pass and check out the restaurants on the top floor.
As we climbed upstairs, on our right was "The Monk". Its no walls and open kitchen showed that it was meant for classy and choosy clientèle. The restaurant although not too big, had an elegant brown decor showing neat and polished furniture and setting.
So we took a table for 2 for us and started going through the menu. They provided peanuts as a welcome complimentary starters. I drooled over the chopsticks and started experimenting with it.
