Nepali restaurant wins with its fiery abundance

By Nadine Kam

~~<p>A plate lunch usually adds up to two or three meals for me. I tend to stop eating before I reach the point of discomfort because I hate feeling bloated after a meal. To put some numbers to the typical gastric capacity of an adult, the stomach measures about 12 inches long and 6 inches at its widest point and can hold about a quart of foodstuffs (try not to think about it too long).</p>
<p>I started feeling full halfway through a meal at Chutney. My stomach was telling me to stop, but my brain was signaling, &quot;Keep going; you may not encounter anything this good for a while,&quot; mangling the communication of pleasure and pain. The quantity of food was not the only source of discomfort. Here they understand heat, so a request for medium-hot preparation resulted in dishes more fiery than usual, and still, I pressed on. I'm sure a brain scan at that very moment would have lighted up like that of a drug addict.</p>

A plate lunch usually adds up to two or three meals for me. I tend to stop eating before I reach the point of discomfort because I hate feeling bloated after a meal. To put some numbers to the typical gastric capacity of an adult, the stomach measures about 12 inches long and 6 inches at its widest point and can hold about a quart of foodstuffs (try not to think about it too long).

I started feeling full halfway through a meal at Chutney. My stomach was telling me to stop, but my brain was signaling, "Keep going; you may not encounter anything this good for a while," mangling the communication of pleasure and pain. The quantity of food was not the only source of discomfort. Here they understand heat, so a request for medium-hot preparation resulted in dishes more fiery than usual, and still, I pressed on. I'm sure a brain scan at that very moment would have lighted up like that of a drug addict. CHUTNEY 661 Keeaumoku St. >> 312-4295 Login for more...
