Caribbean curry at Café De Coral

There was not much on offer for lunch so I went for the vegetarian curry which was called Carribeanian Style veggie curry with rice.

I wonder if the spelling was deliberate because it was in Chinese it is mixed bean curry.

In the box I found some green beans and pineapples, the pineapples were obviously going to be there because pineapples are associated with anything tropical like Hawaii and the Caribbean.

Anyway, there was a good mix of chickpeas and kidney beans but the curry was too salty and not authentic Caribbean. 

Tulsi is great for lunch any day!

Went to Tulsi for a quick lunch because the food comes fast.

Had naan and a bindi masala because I didn’t feel like having any meat that day.

++++++++++++
naan:

It was a race against time to eat it before it cools down because it tastes the best hot with a crisp , chewy and warm.
++++++++++++
bindi masala:

This was viscous pieces of okra and delicious tomatoes cooked together, it was quite spicy but went well with the naan bread.

Expat’s secret in Sai Kung

As well as SK, there is a bigger branch in Wan Chai, but the Wan Chai one is probably better.

Anyway, as there were not many good Western food choices for in SK, I ended up here.

It was filled with expats and more expats came for late night curries.

I ordered the rice with peas and mushrooms and a Malai, which the waiter said was a popular dish with the locals. I knew it was not going to be my cup of tea after he said that because the dish was going to be sweet and it was, but I just liked the potato croquettes, which were rather sticky and chewy.

The rice was not tasty on its own because it needed curry to go with it but without the curry it was just salty with a strong cardamom taste.

Tulsi stretches to West Hong Kong

Ever since I dined at the North Point's award winning Tulsi, I have fallen in love with their curries because they are just like the ones in the UK.
There is a branch in Quarry Bay which is good but the location is troublesome and there are always crowds because there are no Indian restaurants around.
After checking out HKU MTR station I stumbled upon this branch of Tulsi which is quite different to the other two because they serve Thai food and pasta dishes.

Anyway, dined there because they had curries.

Chocolate lassi:

This was a special request because chocolate milkshake was too heavy so I asked them if they could make a chocolate lassi and as expected it tasted how I like it because I loved the yoghurt taste with a hint of cocoa.
For people who like this, you can buy chocolate yoghurts but not in Hong Kong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Aloo Gobi:

This was fantastic as expected because it had an appetizing tomato base with curry spices with juicy cauliflower florets and silky potatoes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beef curry:

A mildly spiced curry with a great curry sauce to go with the rice.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mushroom rice:

The mushroom rice was similar to the other fried rices that they serve.
Each grain of rice was tasty and the portion was surprisingly big!!

Localized Indian food at Curry Corner (Sham Shui Po)

Went to this place for Indian food because the rest of the restaurants in the food court were Chinese food.

Anyway, when I looked this up on openrice, it appears to be closed.

chicken biryani:


I had the chicken biryani which cost $42.
Basically it looked like a biryani but it was tasteless, the spices were not even at their full strength.
It is weird they give you a side of curry sauce too which is tasteless.
ANYWAY, it is funny they give you disposible chopsticks so I guess the chopsticks are for the locals.

Great Indian curries and rice

Dicken's bar is famous for British fare and Indian curries which is popular in the UK.

There is nothing like a good curry so I came here because I had a craving for curry and specifically Indian rice because the grains of rice are soft and longer.

As it was the brunch session, they had other items as well and they had roast and my favourite Yorkshire pudding.

I mainly got curry and rice because that was all I wanted to eat.
The fish curry was slightly salty and the lamb curry was good.
Both were spicy but the spiciness was adjusted to suit peoples palates.

Sama Soup curry from Sapporo

Decided to try this place because they offer soup curry from Sapporo.
Their mascot is a hungry bear which reminded me of the tiger at Tiger Curry when I saw this bright yellow logistics van on the way there.
Currently, there are a Jungle of curries in Hong Kong with nearly every beast including Tiger Curry, Cat's eye curry and not to mention the insect world's bee curry!!


It is a compact shop on Gough Road.




The menu has a golden cover with the hungry bear at the front.

Inside the menu, it shows an introductory about the soup curry.

There are three different bases for the curry soup:
tomato, coconut and prawn.

After choosing the broth you select the level of spiciness.

They had green tea salad on the menu which I am going to try next time.

There are two portion sizes: regular/half.
You then choose rice or udon to go with the curry.
It would have been helpful if they told me the rice was unlimited because the rice that went with the half portion was actually quite tiny so I ordered gyozas because I was still hungry.
The only difference between the regular and half is the curry portion, the rice portions are the same.
I felt that the half portion was very sufficient because it was quite salty so more rice was preferable.

Natto curry with prawn broth:





The natto curry with prawn broth was amazing because the soup was very viscous but you could not eat much of it because it was really salty which was why I need more rice.
There was lots of Rosemary in it and aromatic green peppers as well as okra which made it taste like Western casseroles.
The minced meat in the curry was good too because it was fresh and didn't have any weird taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato broth curry with chicken:


The tomato broth curry was disappointing because it was very sweet and tasted like Chinese style Western onion soup with pureed onions and not much tomato taste to it.
The chicken leg was smaller than my expectation but it was lovely and soft.
For this one I chose the udon which I did not like because it was chewy and sweet.
It would be great if they had ramen or soba as a choice or proper inaniwa udon which has a thinner strand.

Gyozas:

The gyozas had too much garlic puree and it was like eating a crispy gyoza filled with garlic puree.
