curry powder also there are different combinations of spices..
maybe less spice but you roast them a bit...
try to put more curry leaves in them instead.. slightly roast or fry the leaves first...Originally posted by The man who was death:hmmm....i can't make my bergedil taste like what i bought from bugis cai peng stall....i think they put curry powder in the mashed up potatoes...so i did the same but taste bitter......
maybe put too much powder.... -

I went from Islamabad, stopover at Chilas, and stayed a couple of nights at Hunza Valley. We supposed to go to Khunjerab pass but there was a land slide after Sost, so bobian, drive back. Then we went to Minapin and went up to Rakaposhi base camp from there. Spent couple of nights at the rakaposhi base camp!
Will upload some pics its a love place.

My trip was way back in 97 (waa...10 yrs liao
), basically i covered islamabad, move northwards on the Karakoram Highway all the way to Gilgit (supposed to fly but couldn't due to weather), Hunza, etc. and from Sost took a jeep over the Khunjarab Pass to NW China, ended at the town of Kashgar (Xinjiang), then u-turn back to Islamabad. Didn't go to Rakaposhi.
I love the mountains and valleys in northern Pakistan...maybe coz it was my first backpacking trip...so was very memorable. What about you? Did you enjoy yourselves? -
Oh, SC, did you see the starry night sky over in Pakistan? It was like the whole sky was covered with stars, and one could see a falling star every 5 mins or so.

Waaa.. that sounds like a good trip. Yah we went down KKH too but did not manage to go to Kashgar. wow did you backpack without a guide there?Originally posted by Wanda:Wow...sounds lovely.

Apparently its not 'allowed' now, the police will stop you if you have no guide.
Mine was a package so a lot more 'relaxing' dont need to think abt transport! I loved the part we spent in the mountains, it is really unspoilt and wild not so 'touristy' and also where we explored the glaciers. My first 'trekking' trip in non tropical terrain so its very memorable for me too.
Sigh!! BUt also brought home how horribly unfit i am!!! -
yaaa.. at night at the base camp especially, it was really DARK and the stars were shining.Originally posted by Wanda:Oh, SC, did you see the starry night sky over in Pakistan? It was like the whole sky was covered with stars, and one could see a falling star every 5 mins or so.
BUT it was extremely cold.. so didnt stay that long to count count.
My virgin 'starlit night' experience given to Chiangmai liao. heehee..and yaaa.. really one night can count over hundreds of falling stars! -
*hungry*
waiting for outlaws to leave

Ya, we din need a guide ...there was no such requirement then, but perhaps it's not a bad idea to have a guide. We did visit some glacier...and at some point, were delayed overnight due to a couple of landslides...which they always managed to clear quite fast.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:Waaa.. that sounds like a good trip.
