Chinese Curry

Re: Chinese Curry

The country or the food?
Personally had some of the best food i've ever eaten there.I had a thai friend with me so i probably avoided all the british style pubs where you ate

Odd to assume.

Anyway Thailand the place is probably my second favourite destination I've been and the food generally probably the best I've ever bad.

But as per this thread, the curry, Thai Curry wasn't for me.

Re: Chinese Curry

Cardiff now has some really good Indian restaurants but nowhere that does balti like Birmingham. I’ve eaten balti in Bradford and Leeds but it just doesn’t capture the Birmingham experience somehow. When I lived near Birmingham it was quite common to get a taxi to Ladypool Road at 2am and go for a balti until 3-4am. This was back in the 90s. I went to Shabab’s about 5 years ago with old colleagues and we were there until after 1am when people were still arriving!

I spent a lot of time around Ladypool road when finishing a PhD at Birmingham

Kept the fires stoked nqat 10/10

Re: Chinese Curry

“Chinese” Curry sauce is lovely in its own right.
It’s daft to equate it to Indian cuisine and just our own vernacular really.

I’m going to make some this evening.
How I miss Kon Seto’s curry sauce from the bottom of Somerton Bridge in Newport.

Would be my last choice of meal!!

Re: Chinese Curry

It's quite simple, if you want decent curry, go to a curry house, if you want decent chips , go to a fish and chip shop. They simply can't do both. Chinese only do chinky food any good.
(Although you would think the chips would be easy?)

Many tears ago there was a 'restaurant' in Blackwood that served both Mexican and Indian food. Every dish tasted like a fajita that had been marinated in a football boot. It was very popular.

Re: Chinese Curry

Chips from the Chinese take away are generally crap. Unless they use a proper chip shop fryer. Chinese and English take aways combined are the best of both worlds.

MA Fishbar on Cornwall Street is the best of all worlds. Proper chips and an Indian take away too, so if you fancy a vindaloo sauce with your chips, no problem. Cracking Samosa and chips before games...

Re: Chinese Curry

I love lots of different types of curry, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian.
there's a place for them all.
obviously they are all better if made fresh rather than out of a tub.

the best "Indian" style curry I had was in a Pakistani restaurant in Hong Kong.

Massaman curry is my favourite Thai curry. It's more similar to Indian than a Thai green curry.

Yeah it's less perfumy than some of the other thai curries, but it's usually a bit too mild for my tastes.

Re: Chinese Curry

You'd all be horrified by a Danish "Boller i Karry" dish. 99% of the time the meat is just the worst quality and the "curry" is a weird semi sweet monstrosity. Weirdly, most Danes love it and it's a traditional classic. So the word curry clearly means different things to different people!

Re: Chinese Curry

Balti is Deffo a brummie thing

Lamb balti is my favourite , with spinach

Manchester , Bradford and Huddersfield have some good curry houses

The first Balti pie I ate was at the Villa v Newcastle game. (My neighbour was a Geordie and I accompanied him there as he did likewise to see a City home game. I also watched Sunderland with his wife, who was a Mackem but they wouldn't accompany each other at games such was the rivalry).

There's a Himalaya restaurant in Taunton that offers a myriad of dishes supposedly from that part of the world. The people who run the restaurant are lovely but all but one dish comes out of the kitchen almost luminous orange in colour.
