NOTICES.
Tõed dishes alone, and eat as would în India g
This statement was made to a Daily Chronicle representative by, the manager of the Indian restaurant in Leicester-place. “
***I am su. Indian myself,” he added. "I know the madness of drinking iced wines or minerals in blazing heat in India. The sbook to the system is too great. Bat carries or any dishes prepar ed specially for consumption in Labnormal heat produce a reaction of coolness, and are better than cold foods which, in the end, merely make you hotter."
The India restaurant on this day was full of people who hava | lived in hot climates, and who
wanted hot-weather catering. --~|| "I know with what part of India a customer is acquainted the moment he chooses his dish,' the manager stated."For in- stance, people.from the Calcutta side invariably ask for rus goola as a sweet; North of India people | like karma, which is a mild curry, while those from the South or the Malay States prefer their curries strong.
TAMARIND SOUP.
A favourite lunch was tama- rind soup, curried mutton and dholl, and rüs goola. Tamarind, which is a vegetable grown in India, makes a stimulating and refreshing soup. It is slightly sour, and enters into the composi- tion of every curry. The nearest approach to it in the ordinary English kitchen is a highly con- centrated tomato puree.
Dholl; or Egyptian lentils, which is the staple food of Indians, makes an excellent addition to curried "mutton. Rus goola is a preparation of milk and four, treated with lemon and syrup, and fried in butter.
Another favourite sweet is jilaibeos, with which Anglo- Indians are familiar. It takes three days to prepare. Indian corn soaked in milk is the basis. It is treated in a secret way with | white of egg and syrup, and served in little shapes like caterpillars."
Indian sherbets and pomer- granate water were popular drinks at this restaurant. Curd milk and onion, as chutnee, wheat flour rolled with butter and baked, for bread, and spiced butter rice as a savoury, were other interesting delicacies on the menu..
EGGS TEN YEARS OLD. At the Chinese cafe in Oxford- street a Daily Chronicle represent- ative was informed that the intense heat of the last few days had brought crowds of customers anxious to try the hot-weather food which is customary in China
Sue muy (steamed pork pud- |ding) and chun guin (broiled pork pancake roll) were on the men, with many chop sueys, noodle soups and spesial Chinese curries. Prawn, with green pea and bam- boo shoots in cubes, pineapple with chicken and sea slugs were also served to many cus- fomers.
The cold preserved eggs the manager guaranteed to be at least ten years old, highly matured.
"A great many people have been ordering special dishes, for which we require half a day's notice," he said. "These dishes include chua pes arp (duck stuffed with tangerine peel), wai kee don
hops), suet ye kai dang (minced chicken with white olive sea- weed), and kei yung yu chee

* CHOICE OF 100 DISHES. "People who are unaccustomed to food served in tropical" or extremely hot climates may find these dishes rather peculiar; bot from e-list of almost a hundred dishes it is possible to get a hot- weather dish to suit almost any appetite ar digestion, and our customers say that they find Chinese cooking admirable in very hot weather."
At the Trocadero in hot weather the customers who have lived in hot climates invariably ask for curry first.
They know from experience," the manager said. “that a curry makes for coolness.”
While the connoisseurs at those special restaurants were keeping deliciously cool on their exceed- ingly hot dishes, men and women' who sipped iced drinks or de- manded ice pudding or mixed ices.
