lunch in my city trend
Transcript
I did the lunch in my city trend where you type in your TikTok search bar lunch in my city and then your city and the first thing that comes up is supposed to be your perfect lunch order. Today I got Punjabi, which it smells so good. They actually posted on TikTok that they've been struggling a little bit with business, so we are going to try them out. Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines and I haven't had it in a while, so I'm excited. So this is what I got. I got a garlic naan of course. I mean if you're getting Indian food, this is a non-negotiable. Butter chicken, so good, a classic. I mean I probably should go a little outside of my box, but today I'm going with my fave. Comes with a big side of basmati rice. There is so much in here, oh my gosh. I also got a mango lassi which I've always wanted to try, I've never had it before. And then there was something else in my bag which I'm not sure what it is. It looks like maybe it's a rice pudding, so we'll try that as well. We're going to have some of this garlic naan. I have to dip it in the butter chicken. Try it with the sauce first. I got a medium butter chicken, so hopefully it's the perfect amount of spice. Cheers. I had some sauce that almost landed on me. I'm such a messy eater. Wait, that sauce is good. This naan is really good too. It's the perfect amount of chewy, you can taste that garlic. I'm going to try some of this chicken that's in here. Little bite with the rice. Oh my gosh, cheers. The chicken is like really high quality, it's not chewy, it's perfectly cooked. Yum. I've been craving Indian food. Now let's try the mango lassi. I think it's like a yogurt based drink. It's good, it does taste like a yogurt drink. I think it would be really good if you got a really spicy meal and this will cool your mouth down a little bit. I'm sure that's what it's for. Now let's try this mystery thing that was in my bag. I'm assuming it's some kind of rice pudding. That's what it looks like, which I love rice pudding. Cheers. I think it is a rice pudding but it has a flavor in there that I haven't had before I feel. I'm not completely sure what this is, but it's good. I'm going to put some chicken on this naan, dip it in. Cheers. That's the best bite right there. This was really good, I'll definitely be back. And everyone go check them out, go support them. We want to keep them thriving, keep them in business, so definitely go try them if you love Indian food.
