Food by srupesh
If u are budget or backpack traveler here is a tip regarding meals one of the common & good way of having food in a restaurant.When u go to a good decent restaurant; their menu cars would?ve a particular page called Set Menu. I would prefer going for this as it cost low US$1?2.5 depending on the items included in the meals.
In menu card they always include what?re the things added to this plate of meal. So u can have your own choice. If u aren?t eating some of those stuff added either u go another choice or tell the waiter, not to include them. The quantity is sufficient and would be really great meal.
Why?
If you?re going to a restaurant and ordering food mean; you?ve to order noodles/rice separately then 1 or 2 curry & at last will be costing a big amount. But this choice u can finish off the meal spending merely US$1 or 2.
Enjoyment
Don?t think this only suitable for travelers traveling alone or single. This will be great experience if you are traveling more than one person too.
I?ll tell my experience when my friends and myself go restaurants. We?ll always go through the Set Menu?s! & everyone orders a different dish which does vary in price. We share the food (obliviously little) and eat! At the end of the day I?d have tasted more than 2/3 dishes. That?s why I said it?s really enjoyable; unlike ordering foods through the same old menu card style; it?s totally a different experience.
Hidden Cost
Most of the restaurants only ask the amount quoted in the menu card. But in some restaurants when they bring the bill they?d have added Tax + Service Charge into that. Once the same thing happened to us; thank God we?d money with us.
Caution
The restaurants dedicated to high class and targeting tourists mainly won?t be having this Set Menu?s.
Note
In a restaurant we ordered the same dish for 5 but we felt quantity was poor. From that day we ask tell to bring in diff. plates or order diff. items
