What do you usually order from the Chinese/Indian?

Usually get Chinese Salt N Pepper, sometimes beef in black-bean with peppers.

Although it never looks as good as the google pictures.

I usually go for Sesame Chicken or General Tso's Chicken. As far as Indian fare goes, I'm not terribly fond of it. It's good for me once in a blue moon.

Both

Garlic chicken balti, with garlic rice and garlic naan :)

I've given up on your general chinese food; it's usually too greasy, too salty, and it's all the same from restaurant to restaurant. I do like dim sum/dumplings, though. And I'd be willing to try out real Chinese food (as in, what they eat in China) if I get the chance.

I would usually order Mu Shu pork, chicken chow mein, potstickers, and wor won ton soup (love me some won ton soup!).

Indian food is still top-notch in my books, though you have to find a good place to really enjoy it. Unfortunately the one Indian place that kicks ass around here has since closed :(

I like a nice order of aromatic basmati rice, chicken tika masala, usually some sort of spicy curry with tofu, and naan.

I'm more about Thai and Vietnamese food, though; that stuff is delicious, clean, not too greasy (depends, though), and has great flavor combinations.

Nasi Goreng

or basically rice that is baked(?) in a wok pan with vegetables. I can't make it myself and it's just delicious when ordered at a chinese.

General Tso's

I'm gonna have tikka masala, garlic naan bread and onion bhajis tonight because of this thread TC.

Chinese crispy pork and roast duck with boiled rice.

Don't really eat of Indian food. Been 3 years since I last had an Indian meal. Anyhow, I would order Chicken Tikka Masala.

Americans sampling of Indian foods is basically less than 5%....

When it comes to Chinese Food, I always order: Shrimp Fried Rice & Shrimp Eggrolls only. I never eaten Indian food before and I wouldn't know where to start either.

I'm a fan of Singapore noodles myself for Chinese

For Indian I'd go with Malai Kofta and Garlic Naan

I have never tried anything resembling chinese fast food. Not indian either.

I don't think TC means only fast food, restaurant quality food as well.

In that case... I've had Tikka Masala and a few other that are labeled as normal/traditional Indian food here.

As for Chinese. Can't remember what I've had. Shredded duck, is that Chinese?

I don't tend to eat Chinese food, but when I do it's always duck. Indian king prawn tandoori.

Chinese/Indian....are they so similar to you that you felt the need to use a slash?

This is what I order from. If you want to list a bunch of other places knock yourself out and make a thread.

Probably done it because I kinda figured no one would give a shit as this thread is fluff, a time-killer and most of us are grown men.

I think he was confused by the way you presented it and thought that you were saying that they were the same type of food. Sounds like you just meant that they are two types of food that you frequently like to order.

From the Chinese place, chicken chow mein.

From the Indian place, chicken tikka masala.

...I like chicken.

For Chinese I'll either go General Tso's, Peking Duck, Crabmeat Saumai dumplings, Szechuan Sesame Chicken, or Kung Pao Chicken

For Indian I usually go with Lamb Roganjosh, with basmati rice and garlic naan

I recently just started eating Indian food this year

I thought it was because they use dogs and cats parts as ingredients?

What passes for Chinese food around here is gross. I've never tried anything Indian since there's no restaurants nearby and it's not high on the priority list on the rare time I do travel.

Current Indian flavours of the month:

Dopiaza (onion heavy)

Tamarind chicken / beef / whatever - anything heavy on the tamarind.

...and of course a mound of poppadoms

Chinese (or rather Western interpretations of Chinese): Lemon chicken, sweet & sour pork balls - all the guilt-ridden dirty stuff.

Yes, schu hit the nail on the head. I was thrown off by those being lumped together because to me they are so wildly different. You did nothing wrong, I was just curious.

OT: I love a spicy curry. Love me some pork lo mein with hot mustard and orange chicken, too.

Depends where you live (or travel to). Comparing the US and UK, Indian restaurants aren't so popular in the US, but they're hugely popular in the UK, where you find Indian curry shops on almost every street corner.

Indian roti prata

Chinese:

Gravy Chicken Egg Chowmein

Indian:

Butter Naan and Chicken Butter Masala

Roomali Roti and Rezala

Mutton Biryani

Paratha/Puri and Sabji,Dahi

Sada Dosa

Either orange chicken or lo mein. Easy enough.

I never buy anything from Asians

Always the "butter chicken" at indian restaurant wich is chicken with cream, tomatoes sauce and spicies
