Taking Away Minus Eating Out =...

So,

I decided to buckle down again and get down with the "cool Kids" and blog. (Yes you can observe my career aspirations...) Blog, Blog and Blog some more. And despite the inherent self inflation necessary to produce an opinion the length of an A4 side about ones opinion, the therapeutic properties are not to be underrated...

Over the course of the last week I have had a finger in each pie and licked down every last one of them. Yes. Well the point I'm getting at is I decided to adopt a scatter gun approach to food tasting, with the stylistic grace of a multiple Maury Povich "father". Hence deciding to have a taste of various eatery Establishments and damning the consequences. Or the consequences damned me... anyway the time taken got me to thinking about the pros and cons to taking away Vs Eating out plus made me lazy enough to write one brief review of the winning establishment.

Eating out.
Pro: Comfort, the chances of your food being pulled out of the bin are decreased 10 fold. Service from staff, pleasant atmosphere. Variety of cultural settings. Quality of food generally higher. It sounds classy to say your eating at a Restaurant. Don't argue, it just does.

Con: Need to be around other people (increasing risk of contracting swine flu or the human condition). Can't be on Facebook, watch TV and BBM at the same time. (People actually do this) Obligation to socialise. Service from staff...

Taking Away

Pro: You get to leave without tipping. (Always tip!) Home comforts. You get to be lazy and you don't have to pretend to be nice. Yeah because you're such a great person who is always nice?! Greater variety. Home delivery. Less chances for something, anything, to go wrong...

Con: Take ways can and do con. Dodgy portions. Less of an opportunity to correct if things go wrong... the likely hood of the kitchen being the cause of increasing mental retardation also increases. You get the cheap stuff. Lack the culinary experience, not to mention you're being charged at least the same price as the sat restaurant crowd... (See what I mean about retardation).

But like anything we eat out and in on a needs must basis, I just thought we should ask ourselves the question of why we choose either at any given point. Meh. I should reflect less on baguette eating tube journeys...


The ultimate combination of both was My Nhi a Chinese restaurant based in NNE London. A wonderfully decorated place with a charming tropical fish tank in plain view. My Nhi generated a very authentic oriental feel in contrast to its location and the decor one would suspect was shipped from China itself. The Chow Mein, Rice and Starter dishes were varied and familiar (The spare ribs were the best I have ever had anywhere) and the opportunity to develop your custom dish was a refreshing and expansive idea. My Nhi Offered both take away and eat in services with home delivery available. The best thing of all was that for such good service and food there were no side effects. Recommend.

Happy Eating!
