Folks, go to 9m:11s in the below video and see what the barbarians eat – A snake’s beating heart.
No kidding. Gordon Ramsay eats the still beating heart of a snake in Vietnam.
Apparently, the locals believe eating a snake helps you do it five times in a single night.
And y’all believe the fantasy that Man is civilized! 
Ah yes, the next time someone says all ye Indians are uncivilized beasts (which y’all undoubtedly are) point to the below video.
There has been so much hype about Tangra Masala (Grand Ave, Elmhurst) in Queen’s that we had to see for ourselves what the fuss was all about.
Alas, the din of the culinary bubble-heads amounts to nothing.
After a regrettable meal at Tangra Masala, we concluded that this almost a hole-in-the-wall Elmhurst restaurant is an ugly stain on Indian Chinese cuisine.
Chilli Chicken – A Travesty at Tangra Masala
In several decades of eating Chilli Chicken, our taste-buds have not made contact with a version so awful.
Although we’d had specified Indian-style spicy when we ordered, what landed on our table was a spiceless abomination with a few forlorn looking green chilli pieces floating in the gravy.
Such gross incompetence from the kitchen of Tangra Masala left us completely aghast.
Eggplant Manchurian – Disappointing
Disappointed with Tangra Masala’s Chilli Chicken, we quickly fell upon the Eggplant Manchurian.
We heaped some of the Eggplant Manchurian upon the White Rice.
All hopes that the Eggplant Manchurian would be a treat were dispelled after just the first spoonful.
Alas, the fiends in Tangra Masala’s kitchen had played another cruel trick on us.
This too was a spiceless travesty.
What in the hell is wrong with Tangra Masala!
Singapore Vegetable Noodles – Decent
Singapore Vegetable noodles salvaged our meal from turning into a complete disaster.
The thin rice noodle with onion, spring onion, green pepper and red pepper was tasty but the serving size was tiny.
Hot and Sour Soup was alright.
Folks, overall the food at Tangra Masala in Elmhurst, NYC does not live up to the hype.
Service at Tangra Masala is nothing to write home about.
Although we were the only dine-in customers for the duration of our meal, the two Nepali waiters did nothing to make us feel special. The taller of the two fellas removed our Eggplant Manchurian without caring to check with us.
SearchIndia.com does not recommend Tangra Masala.
Our favorite Indian Chinese restaurants in NYC area continue to remain Chinese Mirch (Lexington Avenue) and Royal Tangra Masala (New Hyde Park).
Folks, if we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a gazillion times – Bollywood for the most part is comprised of a bunch of self-congratulating jokers clueless about the art of making films.
A new documentary titled Bollywood: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told shown at the current Cannes film festival is drawing scorn from the international media.
Directed by Shekhar Kapur, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and American documentary-maker Jeff Zimbalist, the documentary debuted in an Out of Competition screening at the festival.
Here’s what the Hollywood Reporter had to say on the documentary:
[T]he film, produced by festival favorite Shekhar Kapur, provides little context for this 81-minute wallow in Bollywood dance numbers. A tiny bit of commentary from such Bollywood stalwarts as superstar-of-superstars Amitabh Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai, Continue reading »
