El Taco Loco Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 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. Sniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Very good chicken tikka and lemon chicken. Great biriani. Sniper 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogblower Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that it was the balti dish that was devised in the Midlands (Birmingham springs to mind). Sorry for the hijack, jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Burr Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
