After visiting a client in Brooklyn, so I went to my usual favorite middle eastern restaurant around the Atlantic Ave. area. I favored the spinach soup.
Wanting to eat simple this time, I ordered just the soup and basmati rice...the cost...$10. I was expecting somewhere around $4-$6. I am not sure if it was because of the price, the soup just doesn't taste like it used to. It was rather bland and lack saltiness. Though I didn't ask, but I am quite sure the old crew has been permanently replaced...even the old 'manager' who always think I'm muslim and called me brother has been absent for a while.
For my own dietary, I should look at making these soups myself.
