Re: The Curry Club
I'll just say, Coriander is great food, and the people are the nicest.

Re: The Curry Club
Not going to argue that, most foods delivered in a plastic container will look a little naff....truffledog wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:56 pm
cant dispute the taste...but it looks horrible. Unfortunately no pic of the rice and the curry.
Re: The Curry Club
In the good old days when people were in quarantine some took plates with then , once the food was on a plate it looked respectable and almost eatable.
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: The Curry Club
I really like Indian food and eat it at least a couple of times a week. However I don't think it's ever all that "photogenic" , especially outside of a formal/ restaurant setting.

This. There is only so much you can do with a curry or a daal. Even in the restaurants the presentation is usually not great.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 9:08 pm I really like Indian food and eat it at least a couple of times a week.

Some foods are visually appealing, which is great line of sight advertising. Other foods’ reach is much greater. When/where I was at college, there was a large Asian market nearby, and the aromas?! Trying to concentrate on dull text when there is that much colour in the air, all day long…

Kulfi I ate in Bombay. It was served wrapped in a sheet of plastic film, but it was the best I've ever tasted.
Presentation has its place, but the proof of the pudding...

Re: The Curry Club
Gorkha Palace (formerly Haveli Indian Cuisine)
#Eo E1, St, 308
Tel.: 081 318 763
Service: 5/5
Food 5/5
Value for money: 5/5
Starters: $1.50 - $5.00\
Main course: $4.50 - $10.00
Breads: $0.75 - $5,00
Start of another week, time for some more Indian food. I googled “Indian restaurants near me” and Haveli Indian Cuisine popped up. Walked to the address but no Haveli. But looking at pictures, this is the same restaurant with a different name. As far as I can tell, the name is all that changed. They bill themselves as an authentic Nepalese and Indian restaurant so I decided to give it a shot instead of the Namaste just opposite.
I was greeted by the very enthusiastic owner or manager. He stayed attentive throughout my meal and it was a huge difference from the grumpy service I had in other Indian restaurants in Phnom Penh so far. Before my drink arrived, I was given a snack. A little oily but I ate it all. My waistline will thank me later.
I ordered a banana lassi and it was one of the best lassis I have had. Many restaurants buy yoghurt off the shelf and it just doesn’t taste right. This one had the tang that comes from a homemade lassi. My only small gripe was that it could have been a little colder.
I ordered the chicken Momo as a starter/ The same friendly owner/manager informed me that they would take 15 minutes to prepare. They were well worth the wait. They were small, wondrous pillows of delight. $4.50 but it was a very generous portion and worth the money.
None of the Nepalese main courses really excited me and I played it safe with a chicken Thali. $6.00 got me chicken curry, vegetable curry, rice, and Daal. According to the menu it was also supposed to come with a garlic Naan but I just got a plain Naan. I thought it was great value for money. I did nit manage to finish all, the Momos did me in.
