Thanks boys nice to be back!

I was in hong Kong for a year and Shenzhen and Guangzhou for 6 months.
Only BIR curry i had was in an illegal restaraunt hidden in the Chungking Mansions. An infamous building in Hong Kong. Look it up.

Mainly cantonese and dim sum but learnt some Main Land dishes too.
Definetly prefer cantonese.
Plenty of stories to share, both good and bad,
During the First month in Hong Kong the restaraunt was closed for a private function one night. I Assumed it would be a wedding but it was a huge triad meeting!
A restaraunt full of Drunken gangsters and prostitues gambaling and fighting for attention. It was somthing out of an 80s HK gangster flick LOL
Smoking is supposed to be banned indoors in HK, but i guess not if you are with the right click. The dining room looked like a smoke machine had been running the whole night.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / China Times

Hows everyone!?
Been away for a while.
was working in China and as everything good is blocked there and i am too lazy to mess with VPN and Proxies i just stuck with the chinese sites.

Doesnt look like the Chinese section has had much use but i have plenty of new recipes to drop if anyone is interested.
Going to work my way through new posts and see whats been cracking. Will have a play with some BIR this weekend. Havent eaten it in 2 years!

I might have to look into this. I'm sure BIR curries were tastier back in the 80s before they started using a single base gravy for everything. Or maybe I have my rosy specs on.

I have heard that alot! Worth looking into.

I've seen a few traditional Indian chefs use an onion masala gravy similar to this. Certainly Harpal Singh does. Maybe it has always been a part of their traditional cooking and was the Genesis of BIR base gravy back in the day when the first generation chefs arrived in the uk and set up shop?

Sounds about right mate.

Same way the Chinese TA recipes came about. Especially the curry paste and sweet and sour

Just to clarify that Onion Masala Gravy is one of a few gravies in his latest book
Others are
coconut gravy
Kadhai   gravy
Makhani gravy
Punjabi Kadhi gravy
Rogan   gravy
Shahi   gravy
Moilee gravy

Also some interesting pastes

Very true.
He also has a selection of good spice mixes and curry powders in them

The chettinad masala is amazing.

Maybe it's someone who can't use their normal account because they announced to the world they they were leaving the forum? Someone with form for using multiple usernames (Carolinareaper ring any bells??). Someone who's bessy mates with our moderator and can't stand seeing you knocking him Scott?

Hmmm.....

mmmm indeed! Sounds very plausible.
Dealing with these guys makes me feel like i am back in the school yard.
Except i cant just give them a good old fashion SLAP because they hide behind there computers.

I've been a bit slow on the uptake and just worked out what our new troll's user name is backwards, it what he/she talks.

London.

LOL nice catch. Didn't notice that.

Like i mentioned, i am sure it is a regular member that isn't brave enough to speak up on there normal account.
Maybe someone already mentioned in this thread.
