japanese daikon chicken curry

I would usually cooked japanese chicken curry with carrots as the vegetable. But, a few days before I cooked the curry, I cooked my daikon chicken soup where I overestimated by buying two daikon roots, and used only one. So, I googled and found this site that recommended to use it in a curry.

I won't tell you how to cook japanese curry, because all I do is buy the instant curry roux and follow the instruction on the box. And when they tell you to add the vegetables, add the daikon, simmer until the daikon is soft. I normally use the House brand curry sauce (medium hot), but obviously you can use any curry sauce that you love.

rich maha dinner special 2

I found this place from google maps, thought I should give it a try. It was the first restaurant I visited in my trip to Melbourne. I must say I had difficulties finding this place. The address said 343 Little Collins St, but in fact the restaurant was on this lane called Equitable Place. It was quite secluded and if I wasn't looking for it, I would have completely missed it.

The restaurant was typical of dining hall type restaurant. On its website, it purported to be serving Indian / Malaysian / Tandoori / Srilankan / Singaporean / Vegetarian dishes. But as far as I could tell, the dishes were 90% Indian, and only 10% the rest. This restaurant was obviously geared towards the cheap and fast-food end of the market. But I think, the food was quite authentic. I judged the authenticity of a restaurant by its patrons, and when I was there, the diners were all Indians (excluding me).

Dinner special 2 - $9.00

I had the dinner special 2, which was a combination of briyani rice, two meats and one veg. I chose the beef rendang, chicken curry and vegetable curry. I don't doubt the portion of this dish was huge, but in terms of taste, it really wasn't mine. But, I do like the fact that when I asked the cashier if I could have a plastic container to take away the meal that I couldn't finish, he was very courteous and gave me the container without fuss.

job cut detox

I went to Adelaide last week and let me tell you, if you felt the same sense of doom and gloom as I did, I would prescribe a few days of holiday at a location of your choice. Sometimes you just need to get away from it all to lift up your spirit and recharge the body, mind and soul.

In all honesty, I did only go because I had a Qantas voucher that I had to use before its January expiry date. But, it turned out to be a holiday taken at the most opportune time, I could not time it better myself. Even with the crazy heat wave, I really enjoyed myself.
