Hungry Ghosts & Hungry People

Tobi, Daniel and I went to Little India to buy garlic, onions and lemons (don't ask me why).

It is the (7th lunar) month of the Hungry Ghosts. During this month, the Festival of the Ghosts includes giving offerings and praying with the giant incense sticks....

..and Chinese Opera to entertain the Ghosts when they are on their One Month Roam Earth Free Pass.

He is rehearsing.

On with shopping...

No basil leaves, but free parsley. Tobi: yuck.

On to lunch.

Oops, I forgot to take pictures before we ate up the food.

This is Nepalese food.

Tobi didn't like the parsley in the chicken.

Order the mixed vegetables cooked Gurkha style.

I am not a Nepalese cuisine expert but the restaurant was cosy (and simple), food authentic and made me feel like eating it on some high mountain top.
