Curry in a Hurry

On North Road in Burnaby, BC, there is an unassuming Chinese restaurant by the name of Big Wok. I used to frequent this place a lot, back in the college days. It was where they served, in my opinion, the best Chinese-style curry beef brisket on rice for just four-and-change.

As I remember it, it might almost have glowed, but not that crazy fluorescent colour that some places seem to use. This was more a tan-brown-yellow -- I will refrain from telling you what else is the same colour. Great chunks of tenderly-stewed brisket, soft lumps of potato, and the richest curry sauce in all the land.

And it was probably about as bad for you as it could ever get. But damn, it was tasty.

I didn't get a chance to eat there this trip back, but I will next time.
