Thai red curry – 4th January 2010

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:28:14 +0000

Dinner tonight was a Thai red curry made simply with some red curry paste fried briefly in the wok before a tin of coconut milk and a splash of stock was added. A sliced red chilli (I didn’t bother taking the seeds out), a sliced red pepper and mange tout was then added and the curry reduced for about 10 minutes before uncooked sliced chicken breast was added. The curry was then reduced for another 10 minutes. Just before serving with rice, I mixed some thinly sliced spring onion and coriander into the curry to give it a little lift.

The ‘apple-a-day’ resolution remains unbroken, with one eaten after dinner.

Breakfast:

Toast with ham. Not a million miles away from the hotel breakfasts this week, but it’s still good to be home.

Lunch:

Thai-spiced fishcakes from a recently refurbished pub called The Inn on the Pond. Also ate the remains of A’s ham and cheddar baguette, along with her chips and some token salad. My review on Qype

Dinner:

Red chicken curry, made by P.

Bill of fare for Wednesday, 9th April

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:25:58 +0000

Breakfast:

Same as every other day this week, seeing as I’m in the same hotel and the selection doesn’t ever change.

Lunch:

Working lunch brought into the meeting room. Better than the normal boring Pret stuff we get in London, though. Open sandwiches with ham and salad on lovely crusty bread. Love the bread here in Germany.

Dinner:

Went to a place called Eiffel, which was an ever so slightly pretentious modern French(ish) restaurant. I had a starter of scallops on mango-lime chutney with a basil sorbet. Main course was spaghetti with prawns in a spicy tomato sauced embellished with curry spices. My review on Qype.
