more chicken curry or mutton curry?

September 11, 2009

school lunches are atrocious during holidays. has to return early for some personal stuff and lunch was taken in the main canteen. for three whole weeks, except sat and sun, the DAILY dish was thai red/green chicken curry with rice. there were other options but i’m trying to control my weight. actually they should have named it red/green bamboo shoot curry with chicken. ingredients (listed in order of quantity): shredded bamboo shoots (60%), chicken breast (30%), thin coconut milk (5%), curry paste and eveything else (5%).

thankfully the cook was more hardworking this week and no more chicken curry. had sweet and sour pork on thursday and lamb curry on friday (today). strangely enough, both were made using same ingredients and tasted the same and even looked the same. reminding me of the scene in army daze where they were all discussing about cookhouse food, recalling that the sweet and sour pork and assam fish both tasted like mutton curry.
