“The Bai” is worth trying out

June 17th, 2008 11:59 am by TheHumanBot

The Bai at the Mizoram stall is worth trying out. With both vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions on offer, this simple dish is prepared with a mixture of green vegetables like brinjal, spinach, ginger, green chilly and bethu, a Mizo sauce made from fermented pork. Also, do try out Sawhchair, which North Indians are familiar with as Kekcheri. In the non-veggie version, the rice is cooked with green leaves and shredded chicken or pork.

This may cost about Rs 70, but it is filling besides being delicious. If you are non-vegetarian, you must try the pork bamboo shoot served with plain steamed rice. Though the food here is prepared by a non-Mizo, Jimmy Lee, a Chinese from Nepal, the food is exceptional. In fact this is the only stall where you can even indulge in the Chinese specials.

– Feast from the EasT (indianexpress.com)

This is perhaps the first time our delicacies get quoted in a nation paper :-) Note that the source is dated “Friday, July 16, 1999”. For reason God knows, Google Alert decides to show me today.

    lolzzz Ben, I think you were distracted with a girl when you read your Google Alert :-D

    The same Alert that I got, was from this site outofthegarden.wordpress.com/, which was updated today and where the author of that site simply quoted from the above Indian Express link which was dated July 16, 1999.

    A Synopsis: Mrs Li, an aging television actress, goes to Aunt Mei, a former doctor from the Chinese mainland, whose dumplings are reputed to be able to rejuvenate one’s youth. Aunt Mei requires her to keep returning for treatment. As she becomes aware that her husband is seeing other, younger women, Mrs Li returns to Mei, demanding the full and more immediate treatment. But as she does so she becomes aware that the meat in Aunt Mei’s dumplings is human foetuses that Aunt Mei obtains from the backstreet abortions she conducts.
