[jdinasia]

I am a HUGE fan of great curries .... tell me where you get your faves? Both types of places!

[Chantal]

For a Penang Curry - believe it or not - right where you were sitting yesterday at The Bounty Bar. But only if Khun Lop cooks it.

A little restaurant in Phuket town called KOPI does a nice massuman with delicious roti.

it's on the left facing the clocktower just before you get to all the bank buildings

There is an Indian restaurant on the way to Chalong Pier, to the right side, new driveway and shop houses. Very good chicken tikka and lemon chicken. Great biriani.

I agree, if you like your chicken tikka masala made with canned tomato soup and you don't mind paying 99 Bt for a plate of plain rice.

Everytime I have eaten there the food is freshly cooked. Since when is Indian food cheap?

Plain rice was 59 baht, now 29 baht. I know Sir Burr doesn't like it - we've discussed it before - but I love the food there and try to make it at least every couple of weeks when I'm in town.

It is xcellent food. But, alas, in forums such as this one, there are the complainers with few solutions or alternatives given.

Try using the search function and reading the thread about curries in Phuket before you make baseless accusations.

That's how it is made. The British in India in the days of the Raj decided they wanted the Indian food to have something of the flavour of the old country, so they got the cooks to make the dish with Campbell's Cream of Tomato soup.

But I don't think they paid 99 Bt for the rice

Nice fairy-tale.

It was invented in the late seventies somewhere in the British Midlands (I think).

[jdinasia]

ok .... less drama and MORE places please

[Sir Burr]

Check out the previous indian food in Phuket thread.

Everything has been said there.

[jdinasia]

ummm Thai curries ...... Hence the full title of the thread .....

Chantal got it ... as did Baabaabobo ......

[baabaabobo]

Yup Thai curries - the only time I got full blown food poisening in Thailand was when I had an Indian curry in Hua Hin.

[kc_phil]

Pan Yaah on the road northbound out of Patong makes the best Massaman that i have ever had...

Its about a Kilometer up the road from Baan Rim Paa.

[jdinasia]

Cool! ... not far from me!

[dogblower]

Kwong Shop in the Kata High Street used to make an excellent gaeng kiaew wan and gaeng katik and, strangely enough, the Backpack Inn in Patong also used to make a great green curry. I can't say if they've maintained standards 'cause I haven't been for a while, but I used to eat in both places regularly.

[Sir Burr]

Ohhhhh, Thai curries???

You can't go wrong with any of the Thai food at The Red Onion in Karon.

No fairy tale. Truth. And I think that it was the balti dish that was devised in the Midlands (Birmingham springs to mind).

Sorry for the hijack, jd

thanks .... see the name of the thread?

From the web:-

Michael Hoffs of Glasgow adds that the dish was "invented in my lovely native city of Glasgow in the beautiful country of Scotland, when a customer at one of our better Indian restaurants asked for a gravy for the chicken he was eating. The chef invented, the now legendary, Chicken Tikka Masala."

Yes, Balti was invented in Birmingham.
