I think that for anyone wanting to convince themselves that it is possible to re-create BIR food at home, KD's base and recipes are an excellent starting point. OK, they don't use sophisticated techniques such as singe-frying and so on, but the results are sufficiently close to the real thing to give anyone confidence in their own abilities. With confidence under their belts, they can then go on to try more advanced techniques and recipes.
