I've watched my movie and emerged into the bustle of Chapel St Windsor, still on a bit of a high after work (and a very strong drink), absolutely hanging for some Indian food... but it's so darn pricey for one person!

I shall just be content with heading home and making some rice to go with leftover bits and pieces. Almost considered a simmer sauce with some fish but maybe not...
Key word. Chapel street. Nothingβs cheap there.

I just wanted like a $20 set meal like a lot of places do for lunch... one serve of rice with two curries and a pickle or something.
There was a promising looking south Indian place on Burwood Rd in Hawthorn that had a thali set meal for $16 but I would've had to detour and by that point the tiredness had hit me. I'm happy to have come home and decompressed
