Model Answer:
I have chosen to talk about the first time I ate an Indian dish called “chicken tandoori”. if my memory serves me right, It goes back to nearly a decade ago, when I was invited to Taj Mahal restaurant on the ground floor of a hotel by the same name in Sheikh Bahaee Street. By that time, I had heard that Indian cuisine is extremely spicy, but you can’t know the scale until you taste their dishes yourself. My host suggested I order and test “chicken tandoori”. After some time chatting over everyone’s experience with Indian food, and of course, to me all were new, finally, our orders came on the table. And needless to say, after taking the first bite, my face was funny and miserable… I couldn’t even swallow a bit. Yet, to show more respect to my host, I tried not to be overacting. That night I had to drink a lot of water and some extra coke. And even now after almost 10 years, I still feel the same and need to drink water!
