hot in front of you on a griddle and then served swiftly and in generous portions. Here, you can choose either a Malaysian chicken curry or Japanese katsu curry. I’ve tried the katsu, featuring a crispy-outside, juicy-inside cutlet of fried chicken that was generously doused in kare sauce with a side of pickles, salad and a heap of rice. Tibet Flavour ( @tibetflavour ) is a food truck that serves vegetarian and meat curries paired with rice, lentil dhal, handfuls of coriander and a healthy serving of aromatic chilli oil. The appeal of curry is its versatility. Whatever you might be in the mood for, Cambridge has you covered, from a quick bite to a full tasting menu. Try something different and you could discover a new favourite comfort food this winter.
curry, you know where to go. Sala Thong was reputedly Stephen Hawking’s favourite restaurant – high praise! I love the creamy, coconut-milk-based curries you can find in Thailand, and my favourite is the underrated yellow curry. It isn’t as fiery as its green counterpart but is richly flavoured with lemongrass, turmeric, garlic and cumin. And I also love the jasmine rice served at Thai restaurants, which is fragrant, slightly sweet and sticky. The journey continues… If you’re on the hunt for a more unusual curry variant, then markets and food trucks are your best bet. I’m a big fan of Azuma ( @nyonya.ramen.9 ) in Cambridge Market Square, which specialises in Malaysian and Japanese food. Dishes are cooked
