Indian & Chinese Together!


The Chili Pepper House, is an Indian/Chinese fusion restaurant. The story behind this cuisine is fascinating, where Chinese citizens who wanted to escape the Cultural revolution ended up migrating to India, where their cuisine is a mixture of Chinese cooking techniques with Indian ingredients.

On with the show!

We first started out with the Chicken dumplings covered in a Chili soy gravy

The dumplings were handmade and pretty good (and one of the only non-fried items on the menu!), and the sauce was great! I ended up keeping the sauce after we finished the dumplings since it was so good!

Next was the Hakka Chow mein.

Greasy, boring, nothing special. Next!

Fried prawns with sweet & sour sauce.

Now I know what your thinking, it's a dish of fried prawns. But wait! They were fresh and nicely fried, the batter was light and the sauce was not too sweet. I would get it again!

Fried Okra & Eggplant, with a sweet chili sauce

Debbie and our friends really enjoyed this dish! It's very greasy but the flavours were nice and the Okra not slimy at all.

Sweet & Sour Fish

Best dish of the night, the fish was nicely fried (though a very cheap fish I'm sure, like Basa, Tilapia, etc) and the sauce was nice and light and not too sweet. Very tasty!

Chili Chicken

This is the house specialty, fried chicken with a not too spicy chili soy gravy similar to the one served with the dumplings. The chicken was good, but at this point we had already had our fill of fried foods.

This restaurant can get very busy, so either book ahead or come early, just be prepared for an entire meal of fried food! I need some fruit now...
