Normally, Saturday is Dot Com Pho day. However, we like to mix it up once in awhile (if only to have something else to write about) so for today’s edition of the Dot Com get together, we headed off to Tandoori Kona at 11700 Cambie Road in Richmond for our first ever Dot Com Tandoori.
With 16 people attending, this was our biggest Dot Com get together to date. Like the last Dot Com Dim Sum, Dot Com Tandoori was sponsored by our friends at BlueFur web hosting. If you need web hosting, give BlueFur a shout. Use coupon code JohnChowRock for 15% of any services.
Attending this week’s East Indian adventure was (from right to left) yours truly, Matthew and his dad Rainer, Jen from Jentekk Web Solutions, Gary Jone and his wife Lisa from Blue Fur, Ed Lau, Stephen Fung, Michael Kwan, Tejpal from 1234Pens.com, Erin Berringer from Newport Business Media, Greg Morgan and his friend Danny. Cut off from the picture was my mom, Sally and Sarah.
The food at Tandoori Kona was very good. They had some of the best tasting Nan I’ve ever sampled and their butter chicken was tender and creamy. The same goes for the Mango Lassi. The restaurant is very small but the owner did a great job accommodating our large group. If our Dot Com lunch group continues to grow, we’ll be booking out entire restaurants soon!
The Food of Tandoori Kona
How Big Is Your Package?
Our sponsor for Dot Com Tandoori, BlueFur, unveiled their new T-shirt which ask, “How big is your package?” Can you tell who has the biggest package?
While we don’t know who has the biggest package, we all concluded that Micheal Kwan had the smallest. Whatever size package you’re looking for, BlueFur can take care of you. That is, if you’re looking for a web hosting package.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Man, the food looks really good!!!!! I must be hungry
It’s not just your hunger talking…it’s actually really good.
I’m not normally an Indian food guy, but this stuff looks pretty tasty.
Same here! and the Shirts are hilarious…good marketing move, BlueFur!
Food does look great, but I am actually hungry.
Oh my goodness the food looks so go I forgot what the post was about and had to read it again. Now I am definitely not in the mood to eat my dinner after seeing this.
I wonder what you were going to eat

There are benefits to living out in B.C., near John!
You get to walk past his mansion every day
. Maybe he doesn’t have one, do you?
That’s hilarious
The first picture looks like the oddities at table 9!
Subliminal advertising at work?
I kid, I kid.
And this is how that post was supposed to look…
Subliminal advertising at work?
*Good food*
*Yummy food*
*Delicious Food*
*BUY WEBHOSTING*
I kid, I kid.
The only message I got was I need to go try tandoori what ever that is.
Yup……but is too far for me
haha love the bluefur shirts, how can i get one?
The tees are available through cafepress:
http://store.bluefur.com/
Ya how can we get one?How much it cost?
16 for white
19 for black
Thanks
Available worldwide?
I wonder if they offer shirts like these through valleyshwag.
Isn’t CafePress notorious for lousy merchandise quality?
I don’t think so… at least not anymore. I’ve ordered a few shirts from them and not had any complaints.
Nice T. I should get one myself.
DARN I was in Richmond this afternoon on some business.. I would have gone if I had known of it!
Looks all good – btw do you live in Canada or Singapore John, from what I’ve gathered you spend time in both places?
Currently in Canada.
I don’t know why the pics of the food remind me so much of Singapore… maybe the awesome Indian food I had there.
Nice food
Damn John! More food! You really are living the life aren’t you.
Sly from Slyvisions.com
There’s a nice restaurant near Metrotown.
Fish On Rice, kind of hard to find entrance, but the food is amazingly good.
All you can eat for $12, and I cant stress it enough, the food is good.
Give it a try.
Awesome get together John, you guys look like you had a great time!

Wow, that food looks amazing! There was one Nepalese place in Seoul that had some of the best butter chicken I’ve ever had. I will have to give this place a try! Gdog is currently in Ricemond!!
I haven’t had a decent Indian meal in ages! When I lived in Britain it was a regular weekly event but over here in Australia the Indian’s a bit different.
That looks absolutely yummy though! I’m getting hungry just looking at the pictures!
Indian food is the best, I’m so glad that I have an Indian wife, its a real treat
Hehehe, foods seem very delicious, Btw John You have to try Turkish foods
, they are great !!!!
That food does look good. Pity I don’t know of any of these places around here.
I know, same here… it seems Canada is the place to be for good food! *=)
So what is with all of the food articles?
I thought this was a blog about making money.
You thought wrong.
I’m confused by the food articles.
He does these on a fairly regular basis.
Where’s the confusion? The post is called Dot Com Tandoori.
It’s all in the name.
Yeah there’s even a category for it, check out fine dining.
Totally loved the photos, especially the last one! Had a good laugh with “We definitely know who has the smallest package!”
yummmyy …i can c tandoori chicken, naan,papar, pokora,curry, yummyyyy
though im a chinese but i love indian food…….
John ure making me FAT lol hehehe
The food really really looks amazing!! Gosh, this post is making this pregnant mommy hungry.. Yum-O!!
cute
Did you like the food?
Some corrections:
>Its not nan its naan
>The food in the pix is actually north indian. (really tasty ofcourse)
And the mango lassi is actually called
Aamrus (aam=mango)
Orange juice in a Tiger beer glass!
What a waste!
That’s not orange juice, its a mango lassi (kind of like an Asian smoothie).
Never had mango lassi – sounds good though so will have to keep an eye out for it.
It’s still not Tiger Beer though!
Yup waste
Okay, now I am going to have to get something to eat. The food looks fantastic! I have just found your site so will be taking a good look around.
Blue fur and package don’t seem to go well in the same breath.
look likes veli delicoius leh…(pls forgive my “Malaydianeselish”,sorry)
just eat it
just do it
JUZT VACATE IT!!!
Looks like the biggest package is John’s
LOL
Kisses!
The Tikkas look more than appealing than in Punjab
Being a indian guy! The tandoori looks awesome
Can i have a bit!!!!!!!
John, we’re going to be going to a local joint called Pho Grand sometime this week. I might just have to take along a camera lol.
That’s fine – just don’t do anything nasty to a lobster on film!
the curry looks good…love the indian food
This looks delicious
Wow looks really good! Indian food happens to be one of my favorites… Yummy!
Hey that’s Indian Name and Indian Food
. “Tandoori Kona”. Tandoori is actually Tandoor where the Chapatis are made like Naan (second image.) and Kona means the Corner. And Sardarji Sitting with white turban on head. Great!!!!!!!
Looks nice but I’m a bit confused, why all the orange juice and no beer. I thought Beer was essential with Indian food?
Well at many places in India beer is not even touched.
The food looks so good! I think I need to talk Ken McArthur into doing a jvAlert Live in your neck of the woods so we can get some of that cooking for the meals…
I think Internet Marketing is one of the few businesses that can unite people a whole ocean away because we are doing similar things. We can always learn from our compatriots all over the world.
Thanks for a great place to learn and have fun with a lot of great marketers!
Have an amazing day!

Guys, that food just looks toooo yummyyyyy to resist. I was reading this just before my lunch time and you can imagine what I must have gone through. I have never tasted that kind of food, but it looks too good to grab a bite right away. I guess I am going out to find a tandoori corner right now.
the foods looks yummy
im feeling hungry anyway i already ate
I regret I did not attend, otherwise people will new my second startup http://www.mygrowup.com
hope you guys will visit the site to build up a profile for you or your kids.
That is some food man………I just love tandoori and Indian food. It is out of the world and so filling. I think everybody must try this food whenever you get a chance.
I’m noticing that every time I comment some other dude by the name of Simon goes up in the top commentators and he’s doing nothing, maybe I should change my name.
That is so f*****g annoying
