No seriously... why is every Chinese restaurant serving the same food? It's always got noodles, rice, and gravy with a heavy dose of garlic. Now I am not talking of the mixed type restaurants - the Eastern Asian ones which serve Thai as well. In that case, throw in a Thai red/yellow/green curry and the rest is the same. It's just so boring!! And don't even get me started on dessert. Have you noticed that Chinese restaurants have a colossal lack of options for dessert..?? It's always the crispy honey noodles with vanilla ice cream... duh!!
I remember going to so many Chinese places for lunch outside India... and it is SO different! First of all, they always always serve you unlimited cups of Chinese tea.. where do you ever find that in India..?? And then there's the chopsticks - now that is something I am not complaining about :)
But the food has so much variety, that too in vegetarian. I mean, think about it. All you have to do is pick some 2-3 different colored vegetables, slice them flat and wide, and cook them in a watery gravy.. how hard can it get?? And yet, you always have to get stuck with some manchurian, or a veg balls, or a vegetables in hot garlic sauce. Don't the Chinese eat anything else???

I'll let you know once I get to China. food there is as varied as 'Indian' food is over here. When you are outside India, all desi food is bucketed under one generic name. Indian Food. and the food sucks.
And by the way, Chinese food in the US is not all that great as well. And apparently, the food in Aromas of China is supposed to be pretty authentic and this I have from a Chinese lady who has eaten there.
But as for chinese not eating anything else, they eat PRETTY much everything else. Its just that we do not want to know about it.
Give me desi-Chinese food anyday !!!!
hahaha 1!!!
