daAwat

I almost forgot, the clear highlight of any visit to Wellington - a return to the greatest curry house in the entire world, daAwat in Manners Mall. To complete the experience, a booking under Bruce Taylor, polishing / cleaning / sterilising the crockery and cutlery, ordering a round of cokes even though they were part of the deal, avoiding white shirts like the plague and a catch up with the blonde waiter and Raj, who after all these years, still recognised me. Although the place has been spruced up a but, the food was still the same, and was sensational.
