The Curry Club

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

First post of a Japanese curry :hattip:
Thanks for this info! I didn't know that before I posted. Just saw a random pic of a blue curry and thought it would be fun to show you guys - it is indeed Japanese. :beer3: Just make a curry and add blue food coloring. Why? I don't know.

Why the Blue Curry?
How Shinto Imprinted a Blooming Love for Nature

Every April, thousands flock to Hitachi Seaside Park to see the hills full of sky blue nemophila. They eat bright blue ice cream, drink blue tea, and even devour blue curry to celebrate the beauty of the fully bloomed, rolling hills. Honouring the nemophila flower is just one example of how nature is a significant part of Japanese culture and how much it impacts daily life. Seeing this, I looked into how the Japanese feel towards nature and what it means to them.

Blue curry has no reason or value other than it's funny.

color may "indicate" a certain cooking method or a sum of spices without having an own flavour. Kurkuma is something similar..turns everything yellowish..but very (or no) small own flavour
work is for people who cant find truffles

In German we say "the eye also eats" and I find a blue curry very unappealing.

Indeed. Much nicer to have food coloured with ground up insect bits. :D

Also, it is down to the tastes of the curries. Preparation and authentication, and also the cost of the dish.
Tonight, I had a lamb keema, it was fair, but not right. To me keema is a dish of minced meat and not half inch cuts, and it had a strong overkill of Black pepper.

It is not the ingredients that put me off, it is the color. Somehow, my brain is wired to deal with blue ice cream and yoghurt but not curry.

Agreed, that does not look like a Keema at all. Don't care much for the apparent consistency either, looks too gelatinous.
