Now, what is your favorite dish? 

I honestly am having a hard time picking one cuisine.

I'm giving a slight edge to India for the vegetarian dishes.  If any of you out there haven't had a dosa, have one at your first opportunity.

And I don't particularly care for most chinese food either.

I never go to buffets as I can never eat all I can eat.  Tongue

I just remembered this now defunct Japanese buffet that one of my old bosses liked to treat me to.  They had a sign in most of the booths imploring you to eat the rice with the sushi.  LOL  Didn't have a great supply of nigiri though.  Had some nice hot dishes and of course miso soup.

I love Indian food.  I eat Chinese more frequently but that's only because there's more places around here (only one Indian place in the county).

I don't really consider Chinese food CHINESE though, because most of the dishes served in US Chinese restaurants were in fact invented in the US.  My go-to dishes are kung pao and Singapore rice noodles.

There's only one Indian place I've been to that has dosai, and that's a vegetarian place in Parma (Cleveland suburb) specializing in Southern Indian cuisine.  I have not ordered one, because how the hell do you eat that big ungainly thing?  Maybe I should watch and learn.....

Here's a question that goes hand in hand with the main question:  How spicy do you like it?

Mysore of course.  By the way, big fan of Singapore rice noodles, too.  Big smile

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever eaten a whole one in one sitting.  Reheats nicely in a toaster oven though.

Having had the good (mis)fortune to spend some time in India, I can say pretty much never want to eat Indian food again.  On the other hand, I've never spent any time in China.  There was a nice Chinese restaurant in the hotel I stayed at in Hyderabad.  The Chinese food there tasted pretty much like...Indian food...and had the same effect on the ol' GI tract.

I understand Theo, I've been in almost all  South America and the two only countries in which I found people eat rice with lets say 70% of their food are Perú and Ecuador.

As a fact the main dish of Chinese Peruviab creole cuisine is Arroz Chaufa (wrongly named Peruvian Fried Rice)



Normally you make it with chicken and shrimps, but you can add the meat and saussages you wish, it always tastes good.

Mixed with 


Taypa: Has every meat (Fish, shrimps, chicken and pork) 

And a sweet dish, lake


Kam Lu Wantan (Wantons with everything)

Make a meal for 4

love both

I'm convinced I've never really had real Chinese cuisine though, and I live among a huge Asian population in Northern Cal; plenty of restaurants, few of them any good.   When I want Chinese, I forge-up the old wok, chop up some meat and veggies, make sure I have plenty of hot chilis, peanut oil and rice wine .. it's always better than takeout

My wife used to work with some Chinese immigrants when we lived in DC - one time, they brought in some homemade fried rice.  I didn't have the pleasure of sampling it, but my wife said it was orders of magnitude better than anything she's ever had at a restaurant.

I probably have never had "real" Chinese food as well - I've been to some upscale places that will serve better than you'll get at your local hole-in-the-wall, but it's still pretty much the same Chinese-American fare, "inauthentic" to some degree.

Of course, the same could be true of Indian food I've had (restaurants only).



Posted By: Slartibartfast
Date Posted: January 26 2011 at 20:22
We actually do have Chinese restaurants that serve authentic.  We make it at home, too.  Same with Indian. 

I'm surprised that Indian is still staying slightly ahead of Chinese.   It was probably about 15 years after my first Chinese before I tried Indian.  Didn't really like it the first time  Second time was the charm.

Chinese, although my favourite dishes in Chinese restaurants have an Indonesian name (and probably background): babi pangang, bami goreng. Maybe a Dutch (/ Belgian) thing, because Indonesia is a former Dutch colony? Most of Chinese restaurants in Holland are Chin. / Ind. anyway (Chinese / Indian, the latter being meant as Indonesian (East-Indies)).
 
I also like Ku Lu Yuk a lot, or whatever you call it in English.

Indian is probably the proggiest cuisine in terms od spices, so it wins hands down.

Indian for me every time - I do like Chinese food (double cooked kung po pork is my favorite, there), but there's just something about the variety of flavours & spicing in Indian food which just gets those taste buds going 10 to the dozen.

Hot & sour Dhansak chicken, basmati rice with cloves, a good dhal + a couple of chapatis on the side... what could be better, eh?

Aha - appears my vote for Indian food has again squared the poll.

Good Indian is much more satisfying to me than good Chinese. But it's so rich that it's not something I'm going to reach for often. Chinese can be a comforting simple food, a nice dinner.

It's kind of funny, but I got into Chinese first, and still like it but when I first really got into Indian the food was kind of like an orgasm for your mouth.  I'd go mmm mmm mmm mmm, etc. etc. while eating.  I don't even remember when I got into Japanese.  Most in the US experience it in a steakhouse.  Which I still like to do on occasion, but sushi tends to be what I go for first these days.

I'm new to indian and I am learning to love a lot of it. But I've been eating Chinese (aka Canadian Chinese) all my life and Western-Canada style ginger beef is one of my all time favorite dishes and has been for as long as I can remember. I know it probably has 0 nutritional value though so I don't eat it too much.

Well there's a dish new to me.  But 0 nutritional value has to be a bit of a stretch if it's any good.  You get protein from the beef and ginger has some good nutritional benefits.  Of course not knowing what's in the rest of this dish, who knows.  Most dishes like that throw in some stir fried veggies.

you would really enjoy the Chinese food there.
 
I voted for Chinese.  I can't handle that red-hot spicy Indian food, it makes my %^$$#@ burn, no lie.

All kinds of super hot Indian curry is the best food ever, and I have a huge bag of naan that I munch on frequently.

Just wait until you manage to chew through the bag and make it to the naan. Tongue

I used to watch the Family as a kid.  No Vinton present.  I do have a DVD of The Monkee's Head.  Watched them more often than the Partridges.  These days the only Partridge I have an interest in is Andy.

LOL I sure am. A good pho is just about my favourite thing on earth. Especially when it's spicy.

If it ain't spicy it's crap!!! LOL

Yeah, the Atlanta area has really developed when it comes to ethnic restaurants since I was a kid.  Plenty of good Vietnamese to be had.

AYE, lads!  Thumbs Up

Here in the Akron/Canton area, if you want Viet, you have to go to Cleveland, an hour to the north.  Last time I went up there, as I was paying my bill I told the girl I was from Akron/Canton, and she said they get a LOT of customers from there.  Someone should seriously consider opening a pho house down this way.  I'd be there every week.

You cannot compare the Indian and Chinese food. Both of them are delicious and tasty. But I would prefer Indian food mostly because there are many kinds of varieties are available in Indian food. Chinese fast food is mostly famous all over the world and they are the inventor of many dishes also.

Depends--  you can usually find good Indian food where there's large Indian populations (England, US Westcoast), whereas good Chinese places are increasingly rare.   And as much as I love Chinese, I find Indian to be generally more refined, and their use of spices unequaled.

I had the good fortune of spending several weeks in China this summer and got to eat lots of the real deal - rabbit, eel, sheep's blood, fish head soup, turtle, pig's feet, hot pot, etc.  Most of it was really good and eating a meal in China is certainly much more of a social experience than most meals in the U.S.

That said I still voted for Indian.  One of the best meals I've had in recent memory was biryani and modak dumplings at a little cafe across the street from the theater before a Decemberists concert.  Awesome (even if the people next to us at the concert probably didn't appreciate our fragrance) LOL

But Greek food needs more love - moussaka with dolmades and a salad heaped with feta and smelts is totally da bomb; in fact, I was going to go out for Mexican food today but after this I think a Greek lunch is in order Thumbs Up

Probably a slight nod to good Indian food.  I had an Indian friend back in childhood.  I would go to their house and be instantly knocked over by the smell of spices walking through the door.  They would make authentic sauces in their kitchen and introduce me to the difference between "american hot" and "indian hot".  Wow!  My friend was the only one who spoke English with much success, so when he would leave the room I would communicate with his large family through body language, smiles, etc.  It was a great experience.  My friend (their youngest boy) was completely americanized and much more interested in the food at our house, while I was interested in his Mom's home made creations.  The grass is always greener?  They also taught me to play Karom (Carom?), an intensely fun game akin to table top pool.  I bought my own board a few years back to play it with my nieces.  Sure beats video games. 

I also had a Vietnamese friend who had just escaped Saigon with gunfire at their back.  Same thing.  He wanted my Fruit Loops and burgers on the grill.  I was interested in his Mom's amazing home made eggrolls.  To this day I"ve never had egg rolls that tasted like those she made in her little kitchen, far away from her home.  She never said a word to me when I was there, but every time I walked in the door she gave me food. 

Two of my best friends as a boy.  I consider myself lucky not for the friendships alone, but for the chance to have had truly authentic Indian and Vietnamese far better than any restaurant I've been to since.  Both made by Moms who had just stepped foot in USA.

sighs.... Cry
Oh you have no idea how much I missed my country's food...
Btw, if you go tonight or any other night, ask them if they have in the menu 'Pastitsio', and in the salads 'Ntakos'.Wink
If you like moussaka I believe you will love pastitsio. And as for Ntakos, is a special Salad from Crete island.
Simply amazing!
You can thank me later... LOL

Yes. My mother accidentally combined Chinese curry and tikka masala sauces. It was awesome. We then named it 'the Chindian'.
