| - Mississauga is stepping their food game up, far out of the Port Credit lakeshore this time.
Rick, you made some really, really good eats. I get it, though; "really" and "great" don't roll off the tongue as nicely.
My friend and I, self-proclaimed foodies, stepped into the oddity amongst the airport/industrial area, right beside a Tim Hortons in the middle of concrete and pavements. Having heard Yelpers and friends push us to take the time to come in, we followed the hype. A warm atmosphere, casual and fun. The black-wall menu added a hip touch to the room, not laden with decor, but open with a cozier area and a dining space. The music was reminiscent of a Toronto kid's CD Walkman, bumping with 2000s hip hop and dancehall. I could have danced there. I think I did, a bit.
The ladies at the counter casually and warmly welcomed us. After much debate, we settled to try the Punjabi burger with Tandoori bacon, and the butter chicken mac and cheese. We got a side of masala fries and a meat samosa. After a 10-15 minute wait, the trays popped up by the hot table and we took the beauties to our seat.
Punjabi burger: WOW. Take your classic American bacon cheeseburger and marry it with Indian flavour. The patty was moist and almost of a crumbling texture, bustling with flavour. I wish I knew North Indian flavour enough to articulate. A little less of the achari mayo and and more leafy vegetables would have helped cut through the depth of flavour.
Butter Chicken Mac N' Cheese: For those of you who recall Rick's PC butter chicken lasagna, wait til you have it fresh. Creamy cheese carries Indian spices so well. The noodles were plentiful; the chicken could have been more present. With the spiced slaw on top almost as a palette freshener, it was alllll good.
Masala fries: these must have been boiled, then double fried, because these were so soft and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The seasoning was incredible. Salty but with Indian flare.
Samosa: Good grief this was good. I don't know if I can enjoy the common potato samosa as much anymore. The crisp chew of the thin dough, and the plentiful meat combination on the inside was incredible.
I have to go back and try the rest of the menu, including those juices and dessert samosas. You've left me half full, in the sense that I was well-satisfied but craving for more. See you soon, Rick's (really, really) Good Eats.
