Grand Temple Curry & Strassburger Steaks

Grand Temple sent me a few packs of their ready made curry to try out here on the blog. I was excited to try something new and different with them.

As you all know, I’m a meat and potatoes guy. The first place my mind went was to mix one of the packets in with some mashed potatoes, and eat it with a steak and some greenery.

I grilled up a nice Strassburger Steaks rib eye that I took home with me from a butchery class. It came out perfect. The beef was prime and had a great flavor to it. Really nice quality, and I recommend buying for home deliver.

Anyway, I sauteed some broccolini to go with the taters and steak.

Success! The otherwise boring and bland mashed potatoes were deliciously spicy. I used the red curry packet for these.

Next, I’ll try the green curry to make a sauce for some gnocchi.

Bassanova Ramen

NOTE: THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED

Tondaku Green Curry Ramen at Bassanova in Chinatown (Mott Street). Different, but really good. More greenery than you would normally expect but it really works. $15. Egg was extra.

Tondaku Ramen, also at Bassanova. Traditional tonkotsu pork ramen made with Berkshire pork. $13. Extremely good, one of my top spots.

It’s small inside, with hardly ever a wait that I have seen.
