Over the past few years there has been numerous threads about favourite restaurants (Indian, Chinese, Thai etc).

 

This one is about your favourite dish in said restaurants. 

 

Mine are:

 

Indian - Chicken or King Prawn Jalfrezie or Vindaloo with Pilau rice.

 

Chinese - Beef in green pepper and black bean sauce with soft noodles.

 

Thai - Chicken or Beef green curry with either sticky rice or noodles with chili.

Indian - Chicken Naga with pilau rice and a mushroom bhaji side. Plain nan. 

 

Chinese - Malaysian Chow Mein (yeah I know but it's what my local takeaway calls it. It's spicy as feck)

 

T-Bone steak medium rare with grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and chips.

 

Stir fried cabbage and buttered mash all mixed in together. Weird I know but I love it.

 Coupla  beauties there. :sweeet:

Chinese - I'll eat a Chinese but i never really enjoy it. Seems to always make me feel really rubbish after them. 

 

Indian - Really big fan of North Indian chilli garlic chicken dishes. If they are too hot though it tends to spoil it but i've found a few places that suits my taste and they are excellent. 

 

Thai - Never really ventured into Thai food too much. I do enjoy Phad Thai though. 


Steak - Ribeye cooked medium rare.  Plenty mushrooms, tomatoes and sweet potato wedges. Mouth waters every time i think about this. 

 

Italian - Honestly anything. These guys have nailed cuisine. 

 

My all time favourite food is probably King Crab. Eat it over in Norway fairly often with homemade bread, homemade aioli, fresh lemons and a mango salad. Other seafood is usually on the table too like fresh giant prawns, salmon and scallops. Cannot put into words how good this is.

Indian, I love a chicken Madras with pilau rice and peshwari naan.

Chinese, I love the crispy chilli garlic chucked with fried rice.

Mexican, almost anything.

Italian, you just can't beat some pasta and pesto.

Steak, a lovely bit of sirloin, rare.

But the main man is, da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaa, mince and tatties.

Oh, forgot to also add a white pudding supper swimming in chippie sauce.

Chinese food is mostly gloopy shite here, I always feel shite after it. Think the last one I actually enjoyed was Chop chop a few years back. They done some sort of garlic aubergine dish that was tremendous.

 

Indian, I love Indian food and the more I try I keep finding my way back to a dhaal. Simple but done right hard to beat.

 

I like Thai spices nam pla,line, chilli and coriander etc, probably a cuisine I need to explore more though.

 

Steak. Ribeye M/R pepper SC.

Indian: I never have chicken, which seems to be a favourite here. The best I've had (apart from in India) is called Saffron Ghosht; a medium land dish with cashews and saffron. Unfortunately the restaurant where I used to get it has sold up and gone. My local is a bit more mundane and I'm yet to find a new favourite. 

 

Thai: apart from King prawn pad Thai (obvs), I get a Tom Yung Gai soup and a Pla Chuchi- fish dish.

 

Sri Lankan - the Palm Beach special Kothu. (Restaurant near Wembley which my Sri Lankan chums rate higher than almost any restaurant in Colombo). Seven quid for a taste of heaven. 

Although, in Sri Lanka itself you have to try seafood, especially crab. 

 

Chinese - often it will be squid but I find it hard to avoid crispy shredded beef. Weirdest ever was a squid dish with liver. 

 

Pizza - got to have lots of toppings. Fire up the Quattro Stagioni but give me that bottle of chilli oil. 

 

Other Italian - proper carbonara, none of your stuff made with cream. 

 

Chippy - fish supper with mushy peas. 

 

Greek - kleftiko 

 

British pub food - thick cut, rare steak, onion rings, mushrooms.  

 

Just had my breakfast and now I'm hungry again. 3 hours til Palm Beach opens!

Nepalese - Nauni chicken (Mild, Marinated chicken cooked in the tandoori clay oven in a cream, butter, honey and tomato sauce), pilau rice, peshwari naan (Yes, I know Peshawar is in Pakistan :lol: )

Indian - chicken pakora, Shahi chicken, pilau rice, plain naan

Chinese - dry and spicy ribs, deep fried shredded beef (not garlicky), egg fried rice - always feel hungover after this...must be hooruva salty or MSG-ey. Or duck in plum sauce with egg fried rice.

Chippy - doner meat and chips or king rib supper. Unfortunately Shetland hasn't cottoned on to the delights of salt n sauce so it's with salt only :( 

Pizza - pepperoni or meat feast. Mushrooms and olives can GTF!

Pasta - loads but nothing too pesto-ey or tomato-ey

Shetland - tattie soup made on reestit mutton accompanied by bannocks with said reestit mutton OR stap

Forgot to include stap

Thai food is about the best thing going. And that’s from someone who lives on the Italian doorstep.

I wouldn't even know where to start. :sob:

 

Always had the impression that there's a lot of sweet dishes like coconut based, and I'm really not that keen. I do need to branch out though.

There's coconut milk used in a lot of the sauces but I wouldn't call the dishes sweet.

 

Try simple red or green thai chicken curry for a start - dead easy to make yourself too. For restaurants get yourself to Passorn or Chaophraya. 

 

I struggle to pick a favourite thai dish as I've never had a poor one. However a lamb shank massaman curry is tough to beat.

Indian - Chicken Lababdar, drooling just thinking about it. Also i am a pakora addict.

 

Chinese - Never been a big fan of Chinese food, I do really like chow mein though. I also had a slow roasted duck from a restaurant recently that was just heavenly.

 

Bringing it back home. I have a local resturaunt that does amazing steak and ale pies. Served with steak cut triple cooked chips. Phenomenal.

Indian.   Rogan Josh, Jalfrezi or Dopiaza with chicken.    Pilau rice.    Naan bigger than your head.

 

Chinese.   Shredded chili beef in Peking or plum sauce.    Bags of mini spring rolls if at the takeaway.     Won ton soup or hot and sour soup.     

 

Italian.    Spicy sausage penne piccante.    Pizza with peperoni, olives, jalapeno peppers, capers.     Variety of antipasti bites.    Would eat that sort of stuff non-stop.

Chinese - Has to be dim sum.

 

Indian - Depends on the restaurant. Usually a Madras as it's hot enough to be interesting but not too hot as to lose flavour.

Love a tandoori mixed grill in the right restaurant though.

 

Italian - Arancini, Calamari, Spag vol.

 

Japanese - Gyozas, Tempura prawns, udon noodles, tonkatsu, ramen. Can take or leave most other things.

 

French - not a big fan. I go with a rump steak.

 

Thai - love a red curry and Tom yum soup

When I last had it, 30 odd years ago, it was a chicken fillet in  breadcrumbs, a wee bit of gammon and banana and pineapple fritters.

In India, it would usually be mutton/lamb or goat. Wherever I've come across Meat Curry in the UK, it's been lamb.

Left field one.    Subway.

 

Foot long meatball marinara with japapenos on Italian bread or GTF.

I don't do Subway; it scares me.
