Basil Alcove, cheap and nice western place
-
The food here is quite nice and it doesn't burn a hole in your pockets.

Yep it was a really good recommendation!
If you look at the photos, you can't even imagine that this is almost like a roadside coffeeshop!
I think the main draw is that it is cosy, relatively cheap and you get a dish that is presented so well that first time visitor will surely go Wow when they first look it knowing how much the dish really costs.
No frills fine dining. But don't expect quality of the meats and fish to be the same as in restaurants where you pay 2 to 3 times the price!

It doesn't require very astute observation skills to realise that ieat has his own blog which has better photographs and very different writing style from mine. Can you conceive of a really sensible reason why I would create two blogs, write in two styles and use 2 different set of cameras and roam other forums with two seperate identities?Originally posted by Chelzea:btw is ieat yr clone such an coincidence to register on e same day -

No not work. He tagged along with someone and "worked" in the kitchens. More like work experience. But along the way he learnt to do this:
