Okay! Apologies for not uploading for a hot second there, this one's been a while in the works. Was definitely one of those research-heavy videos.

We had a lot of fun with our previous 'western food in Asia' video on Spaghetti, where we looked at spaghetti dishes from (1) Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng (2) Japanese Yoshoku and (3) Bangkok, Thailand. This time, we wanted to cover another mainstay in the Cha Chaan Teng/Yoshoku world: Curry.

Curry's got a fascinating history in its own right, and it was a lot of fun delving into both the Cantonese and Japanese traditions. We also included a third curry from Thailand which doesn't quite fit the category quite as neatly as the other two... but hey, is pretty delicious in its own right.

Hope you enjoy this one. Next few videos'll be a bit bit less ambitious, so we should be able to get you guys a few more recipes in June :)

'Western' food in Asia: Curry

Curry: a dish that belongs to everywhere, and nowhere. In China and Japan, it's served alongside Western food like Steak and Omelettes.
