Indeed we are. Have you guys in the west ever tried a Mango? By God their delicious. Maybe I'll post up pics next time I'm having one.

Previous post was in reference to drinking chai btw.
Insulting chai is what lead to Sydney 2008 IMO

Chai's making a revival. All these kids and their instant coffee and Starbucks and 5 hour energies.

Chai is a classic. Its been around for ages (longer than Burgey, believe it or not) and will be around for centuries to come. Such a classic, beautiful flavour.

I make a real kickass chai. India's new Prime Minister used to be a chai wala in a train station. Now I'm not saying that I should be the next Prime Minister of India, but I am saying that I do seem to have the necessary qualifications, should I choose to run

Dude I need to show you this:



I had this. It wasn't bad, but after keeping it in the fridge for a couple of days it tasted like chemicals.

Apparently the Japanese came up with this because in certain companies it is frowned upon to be seen drinking Milk Tea at your desk. Because Milk Tea is seen as pleasurable, and in Japan they do not want you to be having pleasure at work. So all you can drink is water and coffee. So enter transparent Milk Tea, so you can enjoy yourself while your boss thinks you're drinking water.

They also have a transparent lemon tea. I haven't tried that yet.

Yea. Asia is crazy.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the reason Asian food is so popular around the world is because so many people moved everywhere else to get away from the crazy.

And from Chennai, obviously.

Asia is legit crazy. Its why the food here is so crazy too


I was at a 7/11 the other day and it had an entire stand dedicated to snacks and drinks flavoured with green tea. We're talking like 5 shelves full, front and back.

Soy Milk is not Milk

Its the Vegetable Biryani nonsense again
Seriously, you're wasting your time telling a kiwi what is milk, butter, cream, beef or lamb. We have the best. And our overall dairy and wine is pretty damn good too. ;)

For some reason I always pictured you as one of those vego ****s. Really impressed to find out you actually have a sensible attitude toward vegetarians and their antics.

For some reason I always pictured him in a tuxedo t-shirt, because it says I want to be formal, but I am here to party, too.

And yet you can't produce your own cricketers and have to poach them from HK

I too am relieved to hear ***** despises the hate-worthy vegetarians of the world. That's why he only 18th supports India.

I've not posted pics of last evening's dinner, which was a perfect slow cooked stroganoff. Mrs Burgey finds it beneficial to use the slow cooker when she's too busy to devote her usual amount of time to cooking. It's fortunate for me that her preferred way of decompressing is to cook.

Will try to remember to post pics of this evening's dinner, which I have just been informed is red chilli pork belly, a personal favourite.

Who do you seriously think produced him? He went to King's College in NZ for his entire high school education.

There's only a dozen or so school in the entire country that take cricket remotely seriously, King's College is one that certainly does.

This is the type of school that has former intl player, FC and intl coach, Dipak Patel currently coaching the First XI.

He went to university in NZ. His dad is a Kiwi.

If King's Prep still had boarders, he would have probably gone there too.

He's half Kiwi at worst.
