As you may have gathered, there was a period of time where I got lazy about writing reviews for FAT. This is unfortunate because Borobudur was an experience that deserves many words. Sadly, the details have been lost to the sands of time, so I will have to leave you with that which stuck out in my mind: A fish, served whole, including eyeballs. Incredibly strange desserts. One was a crepe of sorts, containing chocolate sprinkles and cheddar cheese. Another was a drink filled with flavored ice, tapioca, strange stuff that resembled green silly string, and of course the ever-present sprinkles. I remember the food to be overwhelmingly unusual, but also quite good. I would definitely go back for a repeat experience.

Is it wrong to posthumously review a restaurant? Unfortunately, Baghdad Nights is now closed, but the writing was on the wall. When we went a year and a half ago, the place was completely empty except for our group. It made me sad to see their business so slow, because the food was quite delicious! I remember devouring platters of hummus. I remember marveling at the strange presentation of food: towering cylinders of phyllo encasing moist savory/sweet meats, surrounded by a pool of tasty sauce. RIP, Baghdad Nights!
