London: A Kerala fish curry was all it took for an Indian restaurant in Cardiff to win the Tiffin Cup 2008, awarded by the House of Commons, for South Asian cuisine.
Chef Anand George of the Mint and Mustard Restaurant on Whitchurch Road, Cardiff wowed celebrity chef Ainsley Harriot and MPs from around the country with his pan-fried sea bass.
Cardiff North MP Julie Morgan nominated him for the finals, a face-off with nine other chefs at Bellamy's Restaurant in Westminster last Wednesday.
Chef George said: "I'm very proud to be rewarded for all the hard work that I've put in. All my family and friends were celebrating that I've won.
"I always had a dream to do something on my own and open my own restaurant and that's what I have done. Business is very promising at the moment."
A cook hailing from Kochi in Kerala, Chef George worked in star hotels in India before moving to London. He initially worked with Zaika, before deciding to go on his own.
