Nothing Special just dragged my friend to dine out. Moving on lets hear a starter conversation of me and one of my friends. (NOT the guy in the picture)
Me: describe Indian food,make it a long description
Friend: Indian food is spicy I guess lol. Its a mixture of aromatic spices so everything is always unique in flavoring.
Me: more
Friend: I can't make a long description. Its just unique in spice. How would you describe filipino food?
That's honestly all I can say about it. If you ask a banana boat they would probs just tell you how the ingredients are grown and its uses. Not to mention tell you that some foods are god given.
Me: filipino food is combination of malay and spanish cooking, nothing more i dnt know much, im an americanized child
haha
wajhahahahahahaha
Chat Conversation End
This actually was my second time in Bollywood, the first one was to watch the belly dancing show (only Thursdays and Saturdays) performed by trained Filipinas. And this led me to wonder how Indian ladies dance the belly dance?

The term "belly dance" is a translation of the French "danse du ventre" which was applied to the dance in the Victorian era. It is something of a misnomer as every part of the body is involved in the dance; the most featured body part usually is the hips. Although bellydance is currently not considered native to India, it's likely that at least some of the core belly dance moves and core belly dance concepts may have originated in India millennia ago, and then spread to other parts of the world. And since this place is called Bollywood, the brimming excitement of the night wouldn't be complete without the bellydance moves.
Many Indian artists used to make a living by hand-painting movie billboards and posters, by the bye computer printed vinyl created for billboards replaced the making of posters. In Bollywood, once you stepped into the wicket entrance of the place, you'd be charmed by the colorful designs and by the wall decorated with paintings of bollywood stars. The old hand-painted posters, once regarded as ephemera, are becoming increasingly collectible as folk art.
As my friend said, Indian food is 'spicy' but in restaurants, servers will ask you just how much spice you can take.
Papadum with 3 kinds of dips
Basmati Rice and Chicken Tikka Masala
In truth, I've chosen these dishes for it sounded nice, I've read that chicken tikka masala is Britain's national dish, but as per my hubby their national dish is fish and chips which is usually eaten every Friday.
"Chicken tikka masala is now Britain's true national dish, not only because it is the most popular, but because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences. Chicken tikka is an Indian dish. The masala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy" Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, April 2001.
