One for Mandaloopy and anyone else wondering if Burmese food really is that oily. A few pics from last year.



Tourist restaurant.



Street food.



Local bar/restaurant in a small town somewhere oop norf, and this would have been quite nice were it not for the sea of oil.

^ Why do they do that??

In a Malay/Indonesian rendang you stew the beef and spices for a couple of hours before frying the meat once the oil has risen to the surface at the end. This both seals the meat in its spices and acts as a preservative.

Mandaloopy mentioned earlier that this could be the same reason in a Burmese curry, but there's no excuse for doing the same with a quick stir fry in a wok. It's just accumulating more and more fat.

^ Well its farking groce regardless of the logic

The asian cooks offshore make the same kind of stuff like you pictured for themselves. Indonesian/Pilipino/Indian cooks and their food literally submerged in oil.

Huge trays of chicken parts submerged in the stuff. Its so unhealthy I cant see why anyone would want to eat it.

Even then, in a dry rendang, the liquid is cooked until it evaporates, so I've really got no idea!

Just bad habits passed down through generations and a lack of awareness regarding healthy/unhealthy food of which, as you say, they're hardly alone.

Aussie steak with a side of spiced Shan potatoes and spinich. Steak was medium rare.

^Restaraunt quality dish that, looks beautiful.

Is that your home cooking?. If it is, you definitely need to start posting more in this thread!.

Nah, wish I could cook dishes like that! Went to Bistro 82 in Mandalay last night which is well worth going to if your in town.

You been to Shan Yoe Yar? My preference in most of SE Asia is to eat the street food, but it was obviously pretty dire over there so we splashed out.

Top food.

Mum shouted our dysfunctional family to Italian (Da Vinci restaurant) I didn't need to take the car, wasn't far to walk from my pad in the city.

Chicken Carbonara and Tiramisu...

The clan has just left - had a few night caps at mine.

Missed breakfast today so it's an early lunch of guk bap (slightly spicy beef soup), mandu guk (dumpling soup) for the other half and a cheeky bottle of rice wine.

Some masterchefs on here,we should have a teakdoor chef of the month comp, with the winner receiving an all expenses paid bus ride to mine to repeat the dish on my unused bbq

just a thought

You're in here, Dicky: Dill's Michael Barrymore inspired pool party (with a unicorn).

What could possibly go wrong?

Not a good spot!

Buffalo wings and fries with blue cheese dipping sauce. Buffalo sauce: Sriracha, butter, worcester sauce, Tabasco. No celery, just can't be obtained up here.

^ Nice.

I gotta do up some of that blue cheese dipping sauce.

^^ that pretentious shit, like your pork chop just needs ketchup and some bread and butter

You can take the chav from the council estate, but....

You're in Bangkok according to your av and can't get celery?. Foodland have it year-round at the Pattaya branch, the only problem being the bunches are always way too big when just a few stalks for salad or soup is all that's needed.

Anyway your chicken & chips combo looks great and is a perfect match, so thanks for the idea to do shake-n-bake chicken with wedges and gravy tomorrow

Quick n easy Baby Chicken.

What kind of oven did you use? A proper unit or a counter-top toaster looking unit? Im assuming theres a proper one in your place.

How did you make the gravy?
