[Food] Chinese or Curry

[Hudson Hawk]

It’s so easy to cook everyone who has my chop suey or chow mein dishes say they prefer it to takeouts.
I’ve done sweet & sour dishes which went down well, egg fried rice is a doddle and you may even see some egg.

I agree but it is a birthday treat on a Friday night, I haven't got time to prep and cook after work.

I can definitely cook better Chinese food than your average takeaway but I'm fecked if I'm flying back to England and travelling down to Worthing to make @Hudson Hawk a takeaway so someone better give him a recommendation

I'll let your have some too plus i have some good vino.

I agree with the person that said home made. The general quality of takeaways are terrible in Sussex. They’ve got far worse over the decades.

I agree and it is unfortunately, Hins in Church Rad used to be nice but that's gone.

Everyone raves about Danny's in Portland Road, i think it is adequate at best but the meat is questionable.

Same with a lot of Indian's, I don't know if its because of cheap meat or overly injected with water, but it doesn't chew like it should and hasn't got the texture. Especially chicken.

Funky Dragon in Shoreham is very nice, but incredibly overpriced. I don't mind paying for quality, but there does have to be some value for money in there. Their Prawn Toast was immense, but it was £7 for 2 quarter pieces!

Some really amazing hotpot places all over the UK because of all the Chinese students. On another level to the traditional British stuff.

Kind of having this internal debate right now re curry houses. An old mate is on his way down from London to catch up for an early beer and a curry. I've been thinking about where to go. Chilli Pickle, Jamun, Indian Summer and Permit Room all have variations on the 'street food and a few curries' theme and I'm not going anywhere that has SWINGS. But there don't seem to be any good, old fashioned chicken vindaloo style places near the station any more. Last time I had something like that in town we tried Nooris and it was shit.

Is Cardamom any good?

The woman who runs Nooris (or did) is an absolute Witch.

Anyone been to Madrasi’s?

Reasonably new “South Indian” place on Church Rd near Hove library.

Reviews are very good. Going tomorrow night.
