Most of the takeaways near me only offer a salt and chilli munchie box and it's just too much salt for me 😂 Feels like my mouth is dissolving. A few years ago my nearest Chinese did three mains for a tenner and I was there far too often for my own good. Sadly they don't do it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heartsmad1874 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hate ordering from places like Just Eat. Say your curry and whatever else you order is £5-£8 you end up paying way over a £10 on delivery fee's etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Der Kaiser Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Penicuik Takeaways. Not had a Chinese takeaway I'd rate above 6 out of 10 in years. Still occasionally order but always a little disappointed and then question myself why I bothered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the delivery fee's on Just Eat are ridiculous, as high as £4.00 for some places, and usually chinese places. 50p Just Eat charge on top of that.

Aye, it's the same round here, I was quite surprised how good the chicken curry was, a lot better than the chef's special udon beef effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Chips with Chinese food? Come on, chaps. If you went into a chippie in Edinburgh and ordered a single, battered haddock, and then asked for a wee side portion of egg fried rice, imagine the looks/reaction you would get?

Dagger Is Back Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Maybe it’s just me but I think the standard of Chinese food in my area has gone downhill in recent years. Can’t quite put my finger on what exactly has gone wrong but there’s a heaviness RJ the sauces which just don’t taste natural if that makes sense Would rather do a wee Chinese stir fry myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise that the food served in Chinese takeaways is different to the food they eat in China? It has all been created for us greedy brits, and that includes the chips. Let's face it, if you don't like to dip chips into "Chinese" curry sauce, there's something wrong with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't agree more with your last sentence. Mixing chips, curry sauce and for example chicken fried rice is glorious. When i was in Australia for a year or so i could not find Chinese food the same as in the UK. Was a terrible time . Although other takeaways did a lovely mixed kebab beef/chicken was brilliant.

It always ends in an argument as she always wants to half a meal and I never want the same one ( that’s deliberate, because I want a full meal) She is even worse in an Indian too. She wants to share one meal, but the only thing she will eat is a Korma. It’s probably the worst thing on the menu in my opinion.
