Punjabi: Curry Feast!

A Pretty Spread of Punjabi’s New Presentation Style

One of the surprising things for me about coming to China was discovering that I love Indian food. I didn’t eat it growing up, as my parents just cooked Chinese food every day but I have grown to really appreciate a good curry during my years in Beijing and I have to give props to Gireesh Chowdhury, founder of Punjabi Indian restaurant on Lucky Street (across from Solana Shopping Center on Chaoyang West Road) for taking my curry obsession to the next level.

While I’ve been a loyal customer for years, I’m really excited for all the recent new developments. Gireesh has given the entire menu an overhaul and the result really goes to show that Punjabi is not your average Indian restaurant. Constantly making improvements and taking on a more contemporary presentation style with some pretty innovative recipes, Punjabi is on a league of its own when it comes to Indian cuisine in Beijing.

To do this new menu justice, we have been back four times over the course of a couple of weeks, each time to try out a smorgasbord of the new dishes. There are some on here that you definitely won’t see at other Indian restaurants around town and I also must say I love the sleek and stylish presentation!

Tribe's Paleo Menu: Paleo Breakfast: Chicken Sausage, Roast Tomato, Pumpkin Hash, Poached Eggs,  & Arugula Salad

Look Out for Paleo Set Menus Available Around Town!

An initiative organized by the Middle Kingdom Fitness (MKF) team, The Caveman Challenge encourages their Crossfit goers to eat Paleo for an entire month that runs now until the Chinese New Year holiday in mid-February.

‘Eating Paleo’ is based on the notion that for optimal health, modern humans should go back to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to our bodies. Prioritizing grass-fed and pastured meats and eggs, wild-caught seafood, and vegetables along with a moderation of fruit, nuts, and seeds, Paleo avoids any pro-inflammatory foods like gluten-containing grains, dairy products, legumes, processed oils, and refined sugar.

In an effort to replace your system of all those holiday sweets with real foods, this is a chance for everyone to start 2015 off to a healthy start!
