Monju Tandoori

It occurs to me that I have never mentioned this fine establishment in my blog before - a sad fact to have to admit.

It is the case that we live near to one of the finest Indian Restaurants in the world. They've won numerous awards and are highly praised in the Good Curry Guide.

All of this notwithstanding, they remain all but undiscovered, at the foot of Southmoor, near Stanley. My guess is that many people fail to realise the sheer quality of the food that they order for home delivery. “Korma and Chips” seems to be the favourite. Were they to be brave and risk a Chom-Chom Chicken or even a simple Tandoori Chicken Tikka Masala, they may start to see why the food here is so well thought of.

The Naan bread is light, fluffy and crispy on the outside. The curries are rarely fatty, always with good meat. I would not suggest you try any of the lamb dishes, but everything else is out of this world.

If we lived a good deal further away, we would eagerly return to the tiny 12-seater restaurant and enjoy this most sublime Indian food.

I reckon it's one of the best-kept secrets in the North-East.

I simply must leave a comment! you have got to be one of the funniest buggers to write a blog I have ever read!

I stumbled across your blogg looking for a picture depicting hopelessness and so here I am, I think im addicted now.

I must ask though, I couldnt find an entry old enough to explain how you ended up going into hospital with your leg problems in the first place nor when you got out of hospital (or are you still hanging out with Spiderman and co?)...

Be cool, and remember you can wear your underpants 4 times without washing, frontwards, backwards, inside out forwards and inside out backwards.

Hi Storge!

Spiderman is very old news now. I broke free from the constraints of Sunderland Hospital some months ago now.

I was in there ebcause of a re-occurrence of ceelulitis in my left leg. It was pretty bad, so they needed me on IV Antibiotics - hence the need for hospitalisation.

So now - another Blog for me to read... :)

I didn't know Steve and I had a 'good guide'.
I can't decide which of you is the funniest - Jason's blog on the Soul Doubt practice is ridiculous and yet very funny. Yet yours is also funny and I now find myself spending far too long wondering what you are both up to most days! I must have a very boring sad life! _ Please don't comment on that last admission.
