Asian Restaurant

Just want to ask a lil question. What are the factors that make you go into an Asian Restaurant? Like what are the must-have items on the menu?

Are you thinking of opening one?

Chinese food.

what kind of asian food?

I'm currently helping a frd of mine to renew his restaurant menu. So, I'm wondering what items should be added on it. What dishes are you all looking for on a menu.

Authentic (or nearly, considering some ingredients are not found here) cuisine, be it Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese or Malay. Followed by reasonable prices and good, friendly service.

um..chinese, thai, japanese (but not sushi) and vietnamese foods

Not sure what you are planning, but I think it's better to concentrate on one type and do it well, rather then try to please everyone

Crispy skin duck with pancakes (thin wraps), good homemade dim-sum, aromatic fried noodles, strong green curry (not the watered-down, too coconutty Swiss type), sticky rice with mango, tab thim grob (and other Thai waterchestnut desserts), agedashi tofu, unagi (grilled eel), beef pho (soup noodles).

thanks so much for your suggestions

Argus - I think you're looking for Peking Duck, very tasty.

How about Ma-paw tofu, Sweet and sour fish, lemon chicken, szchehaun chicken, sizzling mongolian lamb, deep fried ice-cream, and my all time favourite the classic Shandy (combination dish featuring fried rice, sweet and sour pork, chicken cashew, 2 prawn cutlets, 2 prawn crackers and a bowl of chicken sweet corn soup).

Fresh ingredients and authenticity.

Vegetarian options.

this cooked properly :

Yep, its massive heart-attack material but possibly one of the tastiest meats in the known universe. Unfortunately I think perhaps not mainstream enough for Switzerland....

- Dim Sum

- Nonya cuisine

Condiments - Sambal, Fresh cut green chillies, sweet/hot chilli sauce.

Spoons for those of us who think trying to eat rice from a flat plate with chopsticks is the ultimate in masochism.

anything with ginger and spring onions

Real homemade dim-sum, and not from a frozen packet.

Pho soup and vietnamese summer rolls

Homemade Kimchi (good luck with that)

Chinese ribs for starters

Hot sour soup

Crispy chili beef

Real Peking Duck with crispy skin that doesn't need to be ordered in advance

If serving sushi, then Unagi and Uni (good luck with the latter), spider roll, california roll with real crab meat (right, will never happen here)

Oyster shots (raw oyster in shot glass with Sake, tobasco and lemon juice, topped with a raw quail egg

Fried squid dishes

Drunken shrimp

Abalone dishes (no way)

Reasonable prices / portions

Cool! you sounds like a gourmet agent! we've put most of them on our menu already. and I personally like the oyster shots idea!
