Indian
pop star, Alamin Khandaker is set to hire the services of
Ipswich Indian chef, Salim Malik, Owner of Koh-i-noor Indian
restaurant in Upper Orwell Street to cater for his wedding.
Mr Khandaker, who is currently touring Sweden with his Bangladeshi
pop group, Chime wanted to sample Mr Malik’s dishes
before his wedding day and so called Mr Malik to see if
he could deliver.
The long distance take away started in the kitchen of the
Koh-i-noor. Mr Malik prepared a fish dish at Mr Khandaker’s
request. Once cooked the food was then packed and ready
for it’s long journey to Sweden.
First by car then to a plane waiting at Elmsett Airfield.
Pilot Mustafa Aolad then flew this very special dish to
Sweden for Mr Khandaker to sample.
Salim Malik hands over the food package to Mustafa Aolad
to be stowed for it's flight to Sweden.
Mr Khandaker has been married for 20 years and is set to
renew his vows over Ipswich with a service on an aeroplane.
He then plans a reception for 100 guests back on land.
Mr Malik has cooked for Mr Khandaker before, when he worked
in a friend’s restaurant in London. He enjoyed his
food so much that he tracked down the chef to cook for his
special day.
Later this month Mr Malik will open his second restaurant
in Crown Street called Jamil’s Koh-i-noor in memory
of his son, who died in April.
