Hello hello from Crystal Noir version 2.0! I've decided to give my blog a little bit of a makeover, having kept things simple from the very beginning. Okay, it was a little bit of laziness that never saw me designing a header for my blog. But I threw in a little bit of time this past few days to revamp things a bit. How are you all liking the new look?
Anyway, onto my actual post!
What is it about the great flavours of food that just give you bad breath? The king of the lot would definitely have to be garlic. I love the initial hit of garlic when I'm eating it, but can't say I'm the biggest fan of the lingering after taste. But of course when eating garlic, you're not thinking about the after effects (unless you're on a special date :P). One place in particular where the garlic sauce is legendary is at El Jannah's in Granville.

| Whole chicken with Lebanese bread, garlic sauce and pickles, $19.90 |
This serving size could definitely feed two hungry guys, and it's also damned cheap at under $20 for the meal. The chips come in a massive bowl just for a regular and it's only $4.00. Talk about bang for buck. I don't foresee anyone going hungry if you have $10 in your pocket to spend here. The chicken is a bit of a hit and miss, having been a few times. Sometimes it's cooked really well and the chicken is still moist and tender inside. But other times, the chicken is incredibly dry and the skin is a bit too overcooked, verging on the side being burned. What I would come back for again and again is the garlic sauce and the fresh Lebanese bread. Nothing is better than wrapping some chicken in the bread, smothering it with garlic sauce and topping it with a couple of pickles (word of warning, they are quite salty!). If you're not too big of a fan of eating in, you could easily take a tub of garlic sauce ($4.50 for large) home to eat to your heart's content without needing to worry about your breath :P

ReplyDeleteDo let me know how the two compare :D
Deletei am absolutely loving your new look!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks for the kind words, Suze!
DeleteLove the garlic sauce at El Jannah's! Goes so well with the chicken and pickles. I agree the chicken is a bit hit and miss. Guess that's the problem with mass production.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of the flavours! Would be much better if the chicken was always cooked perfectly!
DeleteDear Sherrie,
ReplyDeleteYour new header looks good!!
I'm not a fan of this place as I found it over-rated coz the chicken is dry and burnt.
Hehe thank you so much :D Yes unfortunately I did have the chicken once when it was pretty much almost burnt. At least I've had times when the chicken isn't bad. To be honest, I come back for the garlic sauce which I can easily get to take away and eat it with my own chicken :P
Deleteloving the new layout :D. i can never get sick of el jannahs especially their hot chips and garlic sauce!
ReplyDeleteDipping the chips in the garlic sauce is amazing!!
