Chinese or Indian takeaway?

Haly · 05-12-2008, 19:04

I'm currently trying to decide what kind of takeaway to have later on tonight, leaning towards Indian as I always find it more filling.

However, what's your favourite and why?

Well I can't choose between the 2 but I'd say Friday night, Curry it should be

Only ever had 1 indian take away, as there's a decent chinese near me that I can walk to, but much prefer indian to chinese

Voted Chinese, you can always find good curry. However finding a Chinese that is not just a plate of MSG is harder.

Who, what, where..... tell me more

I know of the one in Havengore and Torquay road. Is there one near the Springfield Arms/Green signed place?

It's the havengore one I had in mind. A bit expensive but very nice (except the sweet and sour chicken which is greasy as hell

).

I'm happy with either but I seem to eat a lot more Chinese than I do Indian. Possibly because the chinese at the bottom of the road is pretty good and gives mahooooosive portions.

I have voted accordingly.

Hope you enjoy it. Don't let the fact that I'm still stuck on the rig with no access to decent food for another week spoil your meal

Lucky to have both a good Indian and a good Chinese. Only downside with the Indian is it's also a restaurant so it takes ages to get the food, plus the last couple of times the food's been a bit tepid by the time I've got home and it's only 5mins away

Going to get two dishes from wherever I go so that there's plenty for tomorrow too

I usually get soup, spare ribs, meal and noodles - that usually leaves even a chubby bloke something for the next day

That is quite a bit

Last time for the Chinese, it was Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken in Garlic Sauce, two lots of Egg Fried Rice, two lots of chips and vegetable spring rolls.
The Indian I can't remember the name of one dish but it was Chicken Korma, another creamy curry, two lots of pilau rice, garlic naan, two lots of chips and onion bahjis.

That lasted two meals for two of us easily

I apologise for the chips, I know I shouldn't really

However if it makes the snobs(

) feel better, I never ever have chips when making a curry from scratch

And yes making a curry from scratch does taste much nicer but it involves effort which isn't happening tonight

I do fancy something different tonight so have to try a different dish whatever I go for I think. It is a little inconvenient I only like chicken and duck, narrows the options!

Chinese because there's a decent one five minutes walk away. I'm not sure I've ever ordered an Indian takeaway from here even though I love Indian (I tend to pick up packs from Tescos, but it just isn't the same).
