It was a lazy Sunday evening and i had this sudden craving for gorging on some awesome non veg stuff.. I had visited My Big Fat Belly (22, Sarat Bose Road) once before and had loved the overall experience - hence, decided to give it one more shot.. It is an aesthetically designed cafe..
First on the hitlist were two thirst quenchers - Kiwi Frappe
It had a slight spicy and tangy tone to it which made the drink tastier but it didn't have much of a Kiwi flavour unfortunately..
Next in line was Brownie shake
The Brownie shake was outstanding to say the least - it had a distinct brownie flavour to it and was thick..
Done with the drinks - it was time for some meat hogging finally!!
The Juicy Lucy Burger
Juicy Lucy Burger is a very well known burger served in umpteen number of burger chains and cafes across the world and i have had the privilege of tasting the same at quite a few of those chains in India and abroad as well.. Having said that, the one served here certainly lives up to it's name and is the best that i have tasted in Kolkata till date in respect to burgers with the same nomenclature in other chains. The lamb patty is seriously juicy and the buns are soft. The fried eggs added to the overall taste and the french fries along with the coleslaw were perfect add ons to the burger. I just hope the onion rings served on top of the burger are a lot more crunchier in the future..
BRAISED LAMB SHANK
As someone has rightly said somewhere that one should save the best for the last - that is what happened with me on that night - the Braised Lamb Shank was undoubtedly the highlight of the dinner.. The garlic bread, mashed potato and that delicious gravy sauce was outstanding additions to the over all dish. The meat portion (quite a portion - i must say) was very tender and superb taste wise to say the least - a heavenly feeling for any carnivore like me..
Now, you must be thinking that if the food is that good - the pocket pinch might be proportionately on the higher end as well. Thankfully, that is not the case at this cafe because the food served is value for money and yet light on pocket..
Glimpses from an earlier visit:
The BACON BOMB
Well, as the name suggests - it is truly a bomb by all means filled with goodness of minced pork surrounded by a thick layer of Bacon.. You have to taste this one to feel the true effect on your pallet..
THE BIG BELLY CHALLENGER
This is one hell of a burger challenge with enticing rewards to say the least - please visit the cafe for more details if you are up for the challenge..
Verdict : STRONGLY RECOMMENDED..
