Last week, my friends and I spent new years in Whistler. Finding a restaurant for 12 people the day NYE was no simple task. After several attempts and skin blistering temperatures, we stumbled on Three Below next to the movie theater. The place had great ambience, beautiful waitresses and a full bar, perfect. They set us up within a few minutes and the drinking and apres-New Years debauchery ensued. Our amusing waitress carried a walkie-talkie to communicate with the other staff and kitchen, but after she let us in on her channel with out own walkie-talkies, well...I'll let you imagine what happened, 10-4?
The menu had great variety to suit everyones picky desires: baked lasagna, burgers, BBQ ribs, etc. What stuck out to me was "Pri's Butter Chicken." For some reason, this didn't fit the menu but I had a feeling our Indian waitress with a sexy English accent may have had some clue. She explained with much excitement, that she taught the kitchen how to make the perfect butter chicken curry, a recipe she took with her from back home. I'm usually not a fan of butter curry because I find it too heavy and thick, but after her explanation I was sold.
The curry arrived on a large silver platter, decorated with soft basmati rice and the thickest, tastiest Naan I had ever tried. The best part was the butter curry that arrived in a separate silver bowl. I could tell right away that the curry was a bit thinner and smelled delicious. After pouring the bowl over my rice I ate the curry with speed and hunger, intermittently feeding my neighbors at the table. Finally, I put my fork and spoon down and polished the plate off with the fluffy Naan. The plate was so clean, they could have served a new dish of butter chicken on it. The combination or chicken, curry and rice plus Naan to clean everythign up was perfect. Ontop of that, I left he restaurant satisfied without the sensation of feeling bloated or morbidly obese as I often do with Indian food.
