olden Joy Restaurant in Tangra is one of our go-to places whenever the craving for Chinese food strikes. By now, the menu is familiar, the people are familiar, and, most importantly, the food is exactly how we like it. There is something comforting about walking into a place where you don't need to spend half an hour studying the menu as if you are preparing for an entrance examination!
Since we got there quite late in the afternoon, we decided not to go all out. The plan was simple — have a tiny bite while we were there and get the main course packed for dinner. In theory, this sounded like a very sensible plan. In practice, ordering Chinese food when you're hungry is never quite that simple!
We started with their Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken (Dry), which had just the right combination of spice and flavour, followed by the Golden Fried Prawns — because, frankly, when prawns are on the menu, pretending you didn't see them is just bad manners.
We also ordered a bowl of Mixed Non-Veg Thai Soup, which made for a comforting little interlude before we packed up the rest of our dinner.
And what was dinner? The classics, of course — Chowmein, Fried Rice and Chilli Chicken, all packed neatly to take home.
So, technically, we only went to Golden Joy for a tiny bite.
We came back with dinner for the evening.
Which, in my book, qualifies as a very successful Chinese food outing!
