Fusion Indian Inspiration

For me, Sunday will always be a "Family Day". A day when we all:

and, of course, delicious food.

This past Sunday was no different!

For me I love the contrast of the salty sea air playing a constant dance with the freshly ground Spices of India. A strange crossroads perhaps, however, one to savor for sure.

Inspired By Belgium

One Tuesday Evening after an inspirational walk around Portsmouth,"Our Great Waterfront City", my Cousin, and I, found ourselves in the beating heart of Southsea, headed in the direction of

"Kings Street Tavern",

where our local grapevine suggested delicious food was on the menu.

Unfortunately, not having booked, we were turned away due to the entire Tavern being booked for Graduation Celebrations.

Falling back on a favourite of ours, we headed on foot to "Elm Grove" and the popular,

Photo of Huis, Southsea.

"Huis", Belgium Bar, and Restaurant.

"Huis", in Flemish translates as "House" in English, which was apt, as the decor seemed to me like I was stepping into the front room of a "Home" rather than a formal Restaurant. Both different, and, inspirational, I thought.

Being seated promptly, we were greeted with an extensive "Home Cooked" Menu consisting mainly of Traditional Belgium Cuisine, along, with some classics.

Enjoying our

and highly recommended by both of us.

Can I recommend "The Marmion House" Restaurant? My, Baldi, A.K.A Amonn AL-Mahrouq's short answer is, Yes! Why? I hear you ask.

We all found the food to be:
