Sounds interesting!?! I have the curry packet as well (kinda cheating), but I was looking for the right veggies to put in it, any ideas? I could do chicken or prawns, but need the greens, too! I can do pretty decent Indian dishes (decent for a white-bread Canadian guy) although I am sure there would be plenty of critics! I'd have to do a trial run first....maybe I'll bribe the chef at the previously mentioned BLUE ELEPHANT for his recipe?

Always green beans in a thai curry can do miniature eggplant if you like as well

Not at all, but it is the best one overall that I have been to.

You guys have some 'interesting' ideas of 'Fine Dining'................

I concur

I think many people associate fine dining with "price" or "decour". Usually people that pay a lot of money for a meal feel obligated to say the food was "great" or "very good" lest they be thought of as fools for paying that kind of money for bad food - specially if the other person is unlikely to dine there. The same applies for the decour of a place - not necessarly "fine" food.

While the dining 'experience" can be fine (or refined) I am often dissappointed by the food. Either they are trying too hard or my expectations are too high (anyway the 1-1/2 times I've had "fine" dinning).

What's "fine" dining anyway?

try Zheng He - thats fine dining in my book

Are you people saying that have a cup of tea at the local malabari tea stall is not an example of fine dining?

Fine by me.
