I'm started to get annoyed now, nothing tastes like home, the chicken is weird (lots of cats going missing) and they don't do proper chinky curry sauce like back home.

I am in the Jebil Ali area and currently use 'Oriental' which is at the petrol station near McD's near Geant.

Anyways, it's ok but still totally different from back home where all chinky's seem to taste the same.

Even the egg fried rice is totally weird.

So anyone know where to get good takeaway Chinese?

What you are after is a 'Chinglish'! A bastardised version of Chinese food which the Brits have come to know and love. (The British Indian equivalent is a Brindian.)

I don't know about take-aways, but close-ish to Chinglissh are some of the dishes to be found at Peacocks at The Sheraton JBR and the Chinese in Rydges Plaza. I haven't found a good sweet & sour pork anyway though and believe me I have tried!

Well the day I land in England I am sure the munchies will kick in, I usually go for on of the follwing:

• Special Chow Mein
• Crispy Chilli Beef
• Special Fried Rice with Curry Sauce (Mixed meat)
• Chicken Satay with Cashews (I have king prawns added as an extra)
• Chicken Curry
• Duck with Plum Sauce
• Seaweed
• Prawn Crakers with Every meal

That's my stadard list from back home, usually one of those.

right they have the chow mein and the chillie beef, the mixed fried rice but no curry sauce, Chicken with Cashew nuts but not satay, Duck with BBQ sauce no plum sauce. No seaweed and believe it or not no prawns knackers which I complain about every time I order. They are worth a try. Where do you live? Chin Chin in Satwa is good as well.

My local favourite is the AED18 honey chillie crunchy chicken at the Oasis in Karama. With soft noodles or rice, absolutely scrumptuous.

Crispy chilli beef is my fav too but in 5 years I still havent come across anything thats the same - nearest I've found is Thai Chi at Wafi, all the other chinese takeouts/restaurants its usually just deep fried bits of beef without the light batter coating. Of course you could always buy a fryer and make some yourself. When I was back home in the summer I found a pot of chinese curry paste which I brought back which makes the exact same type of chinese curry sauce as the takeaways maybe look for that when you are next home

Lang Kwai Fong is the only place which does a passable crispy chilli beef.

Almost all Chinese food in the UAE is appalling, but then again almost all Chinese food in the UK is too.
