It’s Never Too Hot For Curry This month, we take a look at some of the best “English Style” Indian restaurants in town, as well as taking a little look as to how the “English Style Curry House” came to be.

Bengalis in the UK settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London, they settled in the East End. For centuries, the East End has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from In 1810, the entrepreneur east Bengal. Their regular Sake Dean Mahomed, from stopover paved the way for the Bengal Presidency, food and curry outlets to be opened the first Indian opened up catering for an curry house in England: all-male workforce as family the Hindoostanee Coffee migration and settlement House in London. (Curry was took place some decades served prior to this in some later. Brick Lane in the East London coffee houses.)

London Borough of Tower Hamlets is famous for its The first modern “upscale” many curry houses.

Indian restaurant in Britain is thought to have been The Until the early 1970s, more Shafi in 1915, followed by than three-quarters of Veeraswamy in London’s Indian restaurants in Britain Regent Street, founded were identified as being in 1926;the latter is still owned and run by people of standing and is the oldest Bengali origin. Most were surviving Indian restaurant run by migrants from East in Britain.

Pakistan, which became Bangladesh in 1971.

Bangladeshi restaurateurs overwhelmingly come from the northeastern division of Sylhet. Until 1998, as many as 85% of curry restaurants in the UK were British Bangladeshi restaurants,but in 2003 this figure declined to just over 65%.

Currently, the dominance of Bangladeshi restaurants is generally declining in some parts of London and the further north one travels.

In Glasgow, there are more restaurants of Punjabi origin than any other.

Regardless of the ethnic origin of a restaurant’s ownership, the menu will often be influenced by the wider South Asia (sometimes including Nepalese dishes), and sometimes cuisines from further afield (such as Persian dishes). Some British variations on Indian food are now being

exported from the U.K. to India. British-style curry restaurants are also popular in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

This cuisine is characterised by the use of a common base for all the sauces to which spices are added when individual dishes are prepared. The standard “feedstock” is usually a sautéed mixture of onion, garlic and fresh ginger, to which various spices are added, depending on the recipe, but which may include: cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, chilies, peppercorns, cumin and mustard seeds. Ground coriander seed is widely used as a thickening agent, and turmeric is added for colour and its digestive qualities. Fresh or canned tomatoes and bell peppers are a common addition.

IF an authentic taste of indian meals is for you AND the family then a visit to Indian Roots Authentic Kabab and Curry Restaurant and Lounge is a must! Is very easy to find located on the east perimeter road of Lake Mabprachan, not far from Highway 7

Located on Thappraya Road opposite the Hanuman Statue, Real India Restaurant has been creating authentic north Indian food since 2001.

Bangkok’s Ghost Tower The Sathorn Unique skyscraper is among the major construction projects started when Thailand’s economy was booming in the 1990s.

Developers envisaged a city of gleaming offices and residential skyscrapers that were to be a testament to the nation’s rapid development.

Then Thailand sank into a swamp of reckless investments and unpaid debts that became known as the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. The country’s economy contracted 10% in 1998 and many of the building projects came to a crashing halt, including this 49-storie tower. Many towers have finally come to completion and construction is continuing, however many broke developers are still unable or unwilling to take further action.

only less than 200 meters from BTS: Taksin station.

Sathorn Unique Tower is also located at the edge of old commercial town of Charernkrung meets the new international business zone of SilomSathorn roads. It sits on the horse-shoe bend which is considered the best places to overlook Bangkok’s grand cityscape and the charm of the Chaopraya River.”

Getting to the top terrace of the building is possible, but it is absolutely not a good idea, and the structure is fragile and bares many holes in the floors. There have been many incidents in recent times as “urban exploration” has become a popular pastime for some.

The Sathorn Unique has an eerie feel, with exposed infrastructure giving it a post-apocalyptic look.

According to one blogger, abandoned rooms were filled with curious objects, from mannequins to a picture of the King. Locals insist that the building is haunted.

The original corporate brochure described the project somewhat differently: “Sathorn Unique Tower is our first residential project in downtown Bangkok. The tower is 49 stories with the total of 659 residential units and 54 retails, located 10

Earth Hour is Back on: 19th March (8.30pm9.30pm) In 2004, confronted with scientific findings, WWF Australia met with advertising agency Leo Burnett Sydney to “discuss ideas for engaging Australians on the issue of climate change”.

The idea of a large scale switch off was coined and developed in 2006, originally under the working title “The Big Flick”. WWF Australia presented their concept to Fairfax Media, who, along with Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore agreed to back the event. The 2007 Earth Hour was held on March 31 in Sydney, Australia at 7:30 pm, local time.

In October 2007 San Francisco ran its own “Lights Out” program inspired by the Sydney Earth Hour. After their successful event in October, the organisers decided to rally behind the Earth Hour being planned for March 2008.[5] Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change.

www.buzzinmediagroup.com

and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour.

Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switchedoff to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

In 2010, Earth Hour was held on Saturday March 27 at 8.30pm-9.30pm and succeeded in being a global call to action to stand up, to take responsibility, and lead the global journey to a sustainable future. A record 128 countries and territories took part and iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas stood in darkness.

2011 marked the first time that Earth Hour asked people to go beyond the hour; to think about what else we can do to make a difference, to take off some of the pressure we all place on our only planet.

Every little helps, please show your support for this important event.

In 2008 Earth Hour became a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.

Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum

Squats & Fish Oil There’s a saying in health and fitness: If it can’t be fixed with squats & fish oil, you are probably going to die.

Of course this is not literal, but what it means is that intelligent exercise and a healthy diet rich in Omega 3’s and vitamin D will help cut down on countless everyday complaints including depression, lower back pain, muscle / body pain, diabetes, heart disease, dry flaky skin, cognitive function, glucose intolerances, and much more. And squats are the king of exercise, while fish is a great source of important nutrients. Make sure you do them both!

How Do You Get An Education Visa?

To start the process of obtaining an ED visa you must first visit a language school that is registered by the Thai Ministry of Education, you must choose the course you wish to attend and then pay the fees required by the school.

The language school should know the correct documents you require to obtain your first 3 month Non Immigrant ED visa. The visa can only be obtained from a Thai consulate outside of Thailand, normally from a neighboring country like Laos or Cambodia. If successful, when you re-enter Thailand through the airport or across a land border, you will be issued a 90 day visa which will then legally allow you to continue your studies.

The new rules introduced by the Thai Immigration in 2013 state that every 90 days you must appear at your local Immigration office to be issued with a further 90 days and note this is not given to you automatically. You will be tested by the officer in Thai to make sure that you are definitely and seriously studying a language.
