How Hua...kaise hua?

A trained mind like mine is incidentally spared the memories of little or no significance! My recent treat at How Hua proved upsettingly ordinary – characterised by dishes that could barely approximate what James’ grandpa had served food-lovers of Calcutta for years. Talumein Soup, as starter, was lifeless with a misplaced tang and wealth of noodles dipped in a viscous veg-stock. Plumped out with flavoured sawdust, Chicken Wantons fared as badly by appearing to appease those who rank heft above taste. Boon of the evening was a well-cooked Prawn Meifoon as flavorous noodles teeming with briskly prawns. But, Roast Chili Pork cut me to the bone like none – made of stringy and stubborn shreds most indecorously carved off and served with minimal seasoning. Possibly my love for lean pork was mistaken as one for mean. #uncookedwords
