I was mortified last year when my local pub became a BIR restaurant, becoming further depressed to see its OTT prices and then to learn of its mediocre reputation. However I have just (as in less than an hour ago) retrieved the menu pictured below from my front door.
This place located right at the end of my road is even closer, literally 30 seconds walk and has been a very popular Chinese for about seven years so I am surprised at it going.
As you will see from my previous posts I believe the only way to truly achieve actual BIR at home is by learning directly from TA staff so I fully intend to try and strike up some kind of rapport with the new owners and was wondering if those here who have gained kitchen access would comment on what worked for them conversation wise in terms of gaining trust as well as any easy traps to fall into.
The TA name loosely means fate or destiny but I read that it is also used to describe ?Allah's Will? so perhaps they are Muslim. I consider their prices cheap which tends to be the case Vs Indian owned businesses.
All opinions welcome.
