Coming from a European country where
most people eat bread every day, I (Julia) have some kind of a bread addiction.
Sometimes it can get really bad and I crave bread so much that the sweet bread
and toast bread which you can find in Surabaya are not enough to satisfy me.
Then, strangely enough, I have to eat Indian Nan bread to fix my bread
cravings :D . So, when this was happening last week, Carlo and I went to The
Golden Saffron to enjoy some Indian food and bread. The Golden Saffron is
located in Lenmarc Mall and one of the very few Indian restaurants in Surabaya
(Sitara is another one). We haven’t been to India yet, so we cannot judge the
authenticity of the food. But I used to eat a lot of Indian food when I was
living in Singapore, so we have a rough idea about it.
You already get a feeling of India
when you enter the restaurant. There is a small elephant shrine that welcomes
you as you enter. The interior design is pretentious, with a lot of kitsch and
a lot of purple colour and a screen showing Indian TV, so you feel a bit like
being in Bollywood. Tables are big and comfortable but our table was not clean.
There were stains on the table cloth! This little fact changed our expectations
from neutral to negative and we were curious how the food would be.
