A good place to start
A small selection of dishes can introduce more variety than ordering only one familiar fried-rice meal.
What to compare
- Regional focus
- Selection format and accompaniments
Make one part of the meal new
Keep a favourite dish or familiar ingredient, then try something different alongside it. Ask about unfamiliar ingredients, sharing portions and dietary needs. Menu examples are starting points for a conversation; check what the restaurant actually serves.
