Indian Summer


As many of you may know, I love Indian food (not to be confused with Native American food which would consist of corn and beans, I guess). Now, surprisingly, we couldn’t find any Indian food in Bangkok, though Hilary says there is a specific part of town where you can get it. The city is so ridiculously sprawling that we never bothered, besides, we’d read that there was plenty to be had in Siem Reap, and as it turned out there was. On our first night we went down some darkening alley and found the Indian Corner which had a rather large menu and respectable prices. I am a Dahl lover foremost, but that is not a main dish, so I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Thali because it came with three kinds of chicken, garlic naan, a veggie curry, rice, raita and yes, Dahl. The picture doesn’t do the meal justice, but it does give you a fair idea of how much I enjoyed it – so much that I forgot to take a picture until I’d eaten most of the chicken. As far as Indian goes, this was pretty good. It wasn’t as good as in Fiji, but I’ve had much worse. And the naan was perfect. The meal earned 3.5 forks. Oh, and the Dahl was pretty alright, not great, it wouldn’t make you forget you were full, but it was alright.
