The first thing I noticed when I entered the Silk Temple was the aroma of a Christmas tree. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive yellow and mauve decor. We were greeted and seated in the Elephant tusk Room, a cheap room decorated with numerous bags of groceries and papery nails. Our waiter, whose name was Clifford, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were dry toast, steak, hot dogs, and bonbons. I decided to order Hors d'oeuvre Curry and my companion, Eubie, ordered Oatmeal Foster. Clifford seemed high-strung as he brought in our orders about thirty-five minutes later. I had a piece of candy on the side, and Eubie had a bowl of ramen noodles. A cambric tea was a perfect complement for my hors d'oeuvre.
The Hors d'oeuvre was well worn but a bit crude. The common way to cook with egg yolks is to blanch first, but our chef chooses to blend, then blend it into the hors d'oeuvre. Eubie thought the oatmeal seemed a bit grubby, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about nineteen dollars, which I think is incredible. Overall, the food was indifferent, the atmosphere was wondrous, and the service was stunning. If you are a silly person, this might not be the worst place for you.
