Red Beef Curry

If you don't know what to eat here, you can try out this dish. And the next time you enter the pub, you will know exactly what to eat.

— Teddy Darton

A signature dish in the Olde Sunny Pub. It's a spicy beef and potato cooked in coconut milk. Despite having red/orange fatty liquid, it has a spicy but sweet taste. It could make you memorize the surrounding moment by the first time it touches your tongue.

Being sold for centuries, the Red Beef Curry is very well-known among the locals in the downtown Sungear. Everyday the meal has to be prepared in a large, dedicated pot; ready to be served at any time. As such, people like to call it fast food as a joke.

History

According to historian, the recipe was probably introduced in the pub a few hundred years ago by one of the pub's chef who was an immigrant. As many ingredients came from their native on the other side of the world, it had to be adapted. The current recipe is slightly changed for the original one, where pea eggplants were replaced by potatoes.

Despite the rarity of ingredients, it become a popular yet common dish among the Merchant's Pie, the pub's original meal since its openning.
