Popular dishes
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken is a real people’s palate pleaser. Savour it in two ways. Firstly, Balls. Yep, deep-fried-chicken-nugget-like chunks in batter, with a sticky dipping sauce melded from sugar, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce and ginger. The second is Peking Style – carved chicken breast that is doused in said syrupy sauce. Britain’s most popular way to chow down is Chow Mein. Chicken, Pork, Shrimp or Special all offer the sensory combination of slippery noodles, crunchy beansprouts and crispy water chestnuts. The UK’s most popular rice dish is House Fried Rice (aka Special Fried Rice) and the Just Eat app will help get it ‘in da house’. It boasts generous portions of shrimp and barbequed pork, scrambled together with egg and rice. Too many ingredients for you? Then Egg Fried Rice will fit the bill. Simpler still? Then it boils down to plain ol’ Plain Rice.
Crispy Seaweed
Wondering where to start? Easy-seaweedy. Crispy Seaweed is delicious and (spoiler alert) actually made from spring greens. (And easily ordered through the Menulog app.) Spring Rollsrock, too – deep-fried appetisers packed with shredded carrot, bean sprouts and rice noodles. Spare Ribs with BBQ Sauce is another sizzling favourite, whereas Sesame Prawn on Toastis a lighter way to whet your appetite. Too much choice? No worries, go ‘shared platter’ and scoff them all – you’d be Prawn Crackersnot to. (And you’d be mad not to use a Menulog delivery bike.)
