Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chinese takeaway and dine-in?
Chinese takeaway allows you to enjoy your favourite meals at home or on the go, often with a quicker turnaround and no need for a reservation. Dine-in experiences typically offer a more relaxed atmosphere with table service, larger portion sizes, and access to banquet or set menu options. Some dishes may be presented differently or offered exclusively for dine-in. Dining in also allows groups to share meals more easily and enjoy the full experience of fresh, hot food served straight from the kitchen.
Is Chinese food healthy to eat regularly?
Chinese food can be part of a healthy diet when chosen mindfully. Dishes with steamed vegetables, lean meats, tofu, and light sauces are often lower in fat and sodium. Stir-fries are typically cooked quickly with minimal oil, retaining nutrients in the vegetables. However, deep-fried items, sugary sauces, and high-sodium condiments can make some choices less nutritious. Many restaurants offer flexibility with cooking methods or ingredient swaps. For regular dining, opt for steamed rice over fried, request less oil, and balance indulgent meals with lighter options.
Can you customise spice levels at a Chinese restaurant?
Yes, many Chinese restaurants are happy to adjust the spice level of your dish upon request. While traditional recipes may come with a set heat level, chefs often accommodate milder or hotter versions depending on customer preference. Dishes like kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, or Szechuan beef can be tailored with extra chilli or toned down entirely. It’s best to ask when ordering, especially if you're sensitive to spice or enjoy extra heat. Customisation adds to the overall dining experience and satisfaction.
