Chicken 65 in the Menu

I first saw the dish "Chicken 65" during my short stay in Chennai, India 5 years ago. Today having lunch at Hassan Cafe, I spotted the same dish in the menu. I am quite curious with the name Chicken 65. Why 65? My first thought was that the dish was invented in 1965. After google it, here the descriptions:

"Chicken 65 is that the recipe originated in an army mess hall where the number 65 referred to the recipe number on the cook's menu list." see here.

Anyway, don't forget to try out this dish whenever you in Chennai.
