Indian Chopsticks, Harris Park

I think this is the only Indian Chinese restaurant in Sydney that I know. They serve Chinese food with Indian cooking-style. I love the concept. However, I remember few years back when I went there, the food was not good. So I never went there again ever since. 


I am still curious what the real Indian Chinese food are. I was lucky when I was in India last year, I went to one of Indian Chinese restaurant in Mumbai and it was good. I couldn't remember the name but it's somewhere in Bandra. 


Last weekend, one of my Indian friend wanted to try Indian Chopsticks. I told him that it was not good but he still wanted to try. Then I thought, maybe I just chose wrong food when I went there first time, why don't I give another try. 


We ordered chilli chicken, veg manchurian (I ordered this last time) and chow mien. It's still the same. The food were eatable but maybe I shouldn't go there again until they change the food or the chef. I am really sorry to say this but it's not good. 


The customer service was also terrible. My friend gave his card to pay and this lady said ... it's better for you to pay cash rather than paying by credit card. I thought customers have right to choose how they want to pay, no? Anyway, my friend didn't even give his credit card, he gave his debit card. First mistake, She didn't even check the card before giving comment/make assumption. Second mistake, my friend told her, it's on cheque ... she pressed saving and the payment didn't go through. She made face without even realizing it's her fault for not listening. Third mistake, when my friend wanted to key-in the pin, she took away the machine. How my friend was going to key-in the pin then? We left that place speechless.

Chutney, Harris Park

This was my fourth coming to Chutney. It's one of many new Indian restaurants in Harris Park. Usually, if I went to Harris Park, I would go to Billu's. That day, I thought I wanted to try one of those new restaurants and decide to go to Chutney, next to Billu's. 


At first, I was a bit skeptical whether the food would be good. Guess what? This place served the best dosa that I ever tried in Sydney. I am not a big fan of dosa, but this place makes me want to eat dosa again and again :) My favourite will be mysore dosa; I never tried this dosa before in other places. The second best is rava dosa with paneer. It's not only about dosa; even the masala chai is one of the best. I don't know which tea that they use but it's very nice taste. I keep coming back to Chutney almost every week for dosa and masala chai. 


I guess another place which can compete with Chutney for dosa is the canteen at temple in Helensburgh. They serve awesome dosa too. According to my friend, it was special because they make the dosa like dosa on the street in India.
