A good place to start
Ask whether the menu presents regional dishes or a custom stir-fry format so you know what you are choosing.
What to compare
- Menu meaning
- Cooking format and ingredients
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.
