Royal Bengal Royal India
Home
Today I'm pissed off, got some sort of court order going on for a bill that's already been paid, didn't get to the front door in time to sign for a "special delivery" that I wasn't expecting, hot bus and tube journey in and hay fever galore... ARSES. At least the weekend is looking fun, curry and stokefest.co.uk... I hate sites that are all in Flash, that's why they weren't showing up on google...
tv-ark.co.uk's good isn't it? At first viewing (how did I miss it?) better than the fabulous but not frequently freshened tv.cream.org.

That website is all about looking for sponsorship, there's not a lot out there for punters in terms of lineups etc... Hank Wangford played at the Vortex on Friday, didn't know about it until we went there for breakfast yesterday though... Well recommended cooked breakfast, one for vegans and one for veggies and one with cumberland sausage and egg and all sorts, nice and cheap too and the perfect stop off on the way to Clissold Park to see the deer and that. There are baby ducklets everywhere on the pond too, bless.
Then went to Borough market, mostly sat and drank outside the Market Porter, but also saw one of these amphibious vehicles driving by, when I can figure out cropping on this photo editing software I'll make this look better, duh...
Came back to Stokey for an ace curry at The Royal Bengal, the place was criminally empty though, what was that all about? Maybe it was the heat, as Sham Sudeen was also deserted but other non spicy restaurants were doing a brimming trade. Had something called a "phool" (not phall) I think, mostly cauliflower but very nice. Stopped in for a pint first at the Wetherspoons and Irvine Welsh was there, no really.
So, later there is bands and that on in the park, oh starting now actually, and giant Monopoly too, will take the camera (to try and catch the obligatory picture of a policeman sharing a joke with someone in a wacky hat) and some bread to feed the ducklets and have a jolly nice time.
Just found out from BBC's H2G2 guide to Stokey that the library has Marc Bolan's leather top hat on display, I didn't know he lived on Church Street.

H2G2 says Stokey library has Marc Bolan's hat on display. We didn't see it when we went there looking for it. Library has lots of videos and some DVD's to hire though, including loads of Buffy.

Their site is meant to be a frame around this page: http://www.stormwebsites.com/theroyalbengal.htm - but that doesn't work either, hope they didn't pay cash money for it. Anyway, go there, 47 Stoke Newington Church Street, N16 0NX, telephone 020 7249 7025, we may well pop in there now for a free glass of fizzy.

The Royal Bengal has reopened as the Royal India, I hope they have better luck this time, the place is nice, and the food was good, it's hard to compete with Anglo Asian when they're on form though...

When we went past on Saturday night (11th October), it seemed to be closed, what a shame.

Just found a menu, that main dish I had at The Royal Bengal was a Phool Cobee Jalbaza, cauliflower with onion, pepper and shallot with added spices herbs and green chillies, a moist hot dish...
