The same order down where I live costs £17.40p. However, all the containers here are much shallower and contain 30 - 40% less. Also the bag of chips would be half the size! You're getting value for money in Barrow-in-Furness compared to down south... Great work fella!
These Chinese take away's have got their cooking and dish sizes down to a fine art. Hugely great value and tastes to die for. You couldn't make it at home for the price and the supermarkets cannot compete on this either or the flavours I think.
Keep up the good reviews buddy good content love your unique stuff “Now I’ve been shopping” Walking round Tesco “As You Do” and quality sets you apart that Chinese has made me hungry haha 😂👍🏻🍺
Now as always I'm going back 20 years or more but I remember the local Chinese back in the day there chips where brilliant and apparently they used all the meat fats they had left over to cook the chips, made them the tastiest chips around, greasy as hell but lovely
I remember Them chips 🍟 as well really thick ones as well Even The local Chippie Did There Fish in fat not oil Had A Lovely taste to them as well as the chips x
You need to try Chilli oil from takeaway too. Livens up basically everything from a Chinese! It's basically a pot full of crushed chilli with a bit oil (well from my local anyway). As you like your heat you really need to try it... I only found out about it because I always asked for everything spicy and the owner turned round one day and said I'll put some of this in your food, just give it a mix in when your home. Now they put it in my order without me even asking now..... Sorry for the long comment. But you can tell I love it haha.
Well said about the chips, I don't mind frozen ones such as them. Our local Chinese have the same ones too and they compliment the curry sauce in my opinion.
Curry! Curry is a different thing! Way back in 1989, I traveled from Los Angeles to Japan, for a two month job. I had to eat the available foods there . And curry with rice is a big thing there, weather in that area is often cold and rainy so people eat warm spicy foods. Early on after our arrival by plane, we were out by the beach one morning, in the dark, and for lunch we were given bowls of curry shrimp, with rice, hot, and a weird chopped sweet pickle on the side to balance the flavor. There was iced coffee in cans to drink with this. A delicious hot curry meal! I’m enjoying your videos as they are inspiring me to try new foods. 🙂💜
I tend to go for pork, chicken or duck, as the beef tends to be quite chewy. UK Chinese Takeaway seems to be the best outside of Hong Kong, I've not been the China though, but have eaten in Birmingham where the local Chinese Community eat, it's so different. Love your content, keep going.
Hi Garath I am so pleased that your vidos are varied Supporting your local businesses is a big deal !!! Also I love ❤ to see how types differ .Sharing these is good so different here in Suffolk Thanks you are a star 🌟 getting a takeaway in to enjoy together ❤ hope you've got a nice chilled drink too enjoy Lyndax
I make my own chicken balls, with cut chicken into cubes and make the batter out of flour and water mixed together, when you have the right consistency you want dip the chicken cubes in the batter 8at a time, then fry them in a chip pan of vegetable oil. They will rise to the top and go light brown, scope out and drain on paper towels while you cook another batch, then put the first batch back in to fry again, same with 2batch, drain and put in bowl. Salt on top then toss around in bowl . Ready to serve, beautiful and not thick stogy balls like Chinese and you get 2 packs for the price of one. Also make your own sweet and sour sauce to. Hope you try making them.
Just as I was about to have a banana piece for lunch and I have to watch this! Looks delicious Gareth, making me even more hungrier. Hope you and good lady enjoyed it. All the best pal. 👍
Garrett good review, l do like you're reviews of local businesses. lt has been awhile since l last commented on you're reviews due work. l had one of those Greggs Festive Bakes £2.10 in London, last week when l went back to my jobs head office. For sure everything is going up big time in prices.
Huge portions just a scam to justify high prices , they could do smaller portions but profit margins drop . Anyway that looked good basic know what you’re getting Chinese and compared to Aberdeen prices , very good .
Hello again Gareth, I've found that on the whole Chinese takeaways are generous with their portions. I normally have curried special with boiled rice and prawn crackers, just typing about Chinese food making me feel hungry.
Well jealous! We would have to travel 30 minutes to nearest take away restaurants. My hubby makes all our Staying Inn food or we buy at ASDA fortnightly. Those curries are lovely. I’ve never heard of a mixed meat curry before. Thanks again for sharing.
When I last bought chips from a Chinese chippy in Twyford, Berkshire, about 20 years ago they had a large tray of partially fried chips behind the counter, covered with a kitchen towel. You ordered your chips and the girl took a portion off the tray and fried them, so that they were fried twice. They were prepared from fresh potatoes and the chips were the best you could get anywhere in the area. As it happens, I stopped off today at my favourite Chinese takeaway and bought a portion of crab and sweetcorn soup to eat in the car. £2.50. I always keep a clean spoon in the glove box.
Gareth, my fave, next to salted chillie ribs. I put on nearly 3 stone eating stuff like this during lockdown. Thankyou for another great video and hope you and your good lady enjoy 😘😘
Looks all very nice ,can't beat fresh chips ,but don't mind decent frozen ,that's deep fried , special curry my favourite ,a ask for it hot and spicy ,they put in fresh chilli's, enough there for three people ,or a family,great value
Get yourself down to Manchester. As a person who grew up in Ulverston close to barrow. I know there is a lack of good takeaways in the south lakes area. Street Guys in Spinningfields manchester. Or Straight outta Nashville in Salford. Both amazing burger joints!
I love chow mein, I tried cooking them at home but they were never the same as from a takeaway. I bought msg from a Chinese takeaway, absolute game changer!
I don’t know if it’s just me but Chinese takeaways don’t see my patch on the old days does anybody else agree or is it just a taste of got more superior ?
15 quids feck all these days for a meal for two! And if it’s tasty then even better! Looked like some serious portions too just like the Chinese philosophy of making sure your guest feels sated. Another good vlog Gareth 👍
What I always do when I order a special curry from the Chinese is say no onions, as they use a lot to pack the meal out , also that way you get extra meat , love the review Gaz , see you on the next one , hope you and your good lady enjoyed it .
I love UK Chinese cuisine (UK is different to other countries)..made especially for our palette and importantly the ingredients available in mid 1850 China Towns here in UK...ie Liverpool which is the oldest. I cook my own now though I follow Khoan Vongs channel and just follow the videos! If I can replicate UK Chinese cuisine anyone can! The noodles looked like #1 Lucky Boat noodles, personally I prefer the thinnner ones which are #2 Lucky boat. Give it a go Gareth. Ps the chips would be 15mm AVIKO from cash & carry
I ordered a house special curry earlier tonight after watching this video lol Was craving one..It came in a round foil container and was full to the brim. Lush
Get it dished up Gaz, 2 spring rolls please ! 😋...crikey, that's not bad value. My local Chinese here in Leicester is double dear!! The food is quality but you pay for it, I usually order Yung Chow fried rice, sweet n sour chicken balls, cantonese crispy beef and pancake rolls, with delivery £33 !!
Hi Gaz have ever cooked your own cheese bacon and Egg dip with cob and best butter dipped in if you want the ingredient just let me know and I will get back to you. Regards........Barry.
Hit and miss chineses .I'm from Wolverhampton and they used to put currys in large containers, now they put em in small ones unless u pay xtra 😂😂propa stingey. Food looks lovely, its horrible when your on a diet n your seeing all this food. But love the channel propa gent u am m8 xx
thats alot of food and great value for £15. The meat does tend to be a bit tough in most Chinese places i've been to including Thai takeaways and restaurants as they blast fry the beef in a wok.
Very nice mate!... I don't know if this has any basis in reality for others... But for me... every Chinese Takeaway I've ever tried... They always serve a huge amount of Chips... 🍟 Not like other types of Takeaways... They're usually very skimpy with their portions of Chips they serve... And if i'm not mistaken... i think a lot of Chinese Takeaways usually cook using Peanut Oil... And from what I've heard... Peanut Oil can be quite expensive compared to Vegetable Oil... But the Chips definitely have quite a unique taste... When bought from a Chinese Takeaway... and i must say... i do like them a lot... Not as much as my local Chippy... but they're still very good Chips all the same... Many thanks for the review Gareth... You've now made me very hungry mate... 😋 Cheers. 🍺
Absolutely the best part of any Chinese meal is the few chips you eat out of the bag as you are driving home from the takeaway!
Haha yes I do it lol 🤣😋😋👍
Or walking 😂
And then you reseal the bag so nobody knows you've been naughty!
The same order down where I live costs £17.40p.
However, all the containers here are much shallower and contain 30 - 40% less. Also the bag of chips would be half the size!
You're getting value for money in Barrow-in-Furness compared to down south...
Great work fella!
Cheers Robski 👍👍
Looks very tasty.
These Chinese take away's have got their cooking and dish sizes down to a fine art. Hugely great value and tastes to die for. You couldn't make it at home for the price and the supermarkets cannot compete on this either or the flavours I think.
Ooooh now I want a Chinese takeaway .
i could eat the chips and curry sauce on there own! it all looks really delicious, a great review again!
Cheers Sandra
Yes, I often just have chips and curry sauce. Yummy.
That Chinese food looked absolutely spot on ! Especially the noodles they looked delicious 😋. Top video again 👍🏻
Cheers Sarah 👍👍
Keep up the good reviews buddy good content love your unique stuff “Now I’ve been shopping” Walking round Tesco “As You Do” and quality sets you apart that Chinese has made me hungry haha 😂👍🏻🍺
Thanks! Will do!
Now that meal looked good and so full to the top and you loved it.
Great Review and what was for dessert
Haha yes
I love Chinese curry. Have that with chips.
And I love sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style, with egg fried rice.
Now as always I'm going back 20 years or more but I remember the local Chinese back in the day there chips where brilliant and apparently they used all the meat fats they had left over to cook the chips, made them the tastiest chips around, greasy as hell but lovely
Yes lovely fat jucy ones
@@BaldFoodieGuy that's the ones mate 👍
I remember Them chips 🍟 as well really thick ones as well Even The local Chippie Did There Fish in fat not oil Had A Lovely taste to them as well as the chips x
Yep best chips ever and my local Chinese used to be able to put the right amount of salt on them
I remember those big fat crescent/moon shaped chips. They had a distinct taste
I was talking about this on this channel a few months ago

Cheers

I love a Chinese on a Friday night, it’s my favourite takeout 🥡👍 that looks delicious. Great review.
Cheers Margaret
When I get Chinese curry I sometimes ask them to make it hotter or add extra chilli to it if it’s normally been too mild.
Hot yes like mine hot but not too hot.

Hello again Gareth, I've found that on the whole Chinese takeaways are generous with their portions. I normally have curried special with boiled rice and prawn crackers, just typing about Chinese food making me feel hungry.
hello David, cheers pal.
The chips look to be full of fat and will therefore be tasty you need to be mindful of fatty food it can block your arteries over time.
Love a curry looks massive
Cheers Barbara, yes good one that
Lovely Chinese Gareth
Thank you 😋👍👍
Love your videos, honestly each day I look forward to them so much 👍🏻
Wai Ming church street, used to be my local on a Saturday night, in the 90s always a decent Chinese.
Lovely David👌👌
Great review 😋👍

Cheers Bruce
That looked tasty! Glad to see you're recovering lol
Haha cheers 😋👍👍

Went for a fantastic Chinese on Sunday would you believe after seeing you I'm really hungry for more Chinese
Haha I love them 😋😋👍
Great video Gareth! 👍😊
Cheers Chloe 😋😘👍
Nice chinese food trying anchor Fish Bar Chinese on Barrow Island that's really nice as well
Yes that's a good one isn't it👌
@@BaldFoodieGuy yes it is good one
I have seen you in the evening Mail to day mate
Yesterday wasn't it 👌
@@BaldFoodieGuy yes mate
That looked totally yummy - wish I had a chinese take-away here. Do you have an Indian take-away nearby because you obviously prefer a hot curry.
Haven't had a chinese takeaway in a long time, but i can't fault it usually, it's a nice meal to have
So good mate
Get yourself down to Manchester. As a person who grew up in Ulverston close to barrow. I know there is a lack of good takeaways in the south lakes area. Street Guys in Spinningfields manchester. Or Straight outta Nashville in Salford. Both amazing burger joints!
Yes sounds great they do
Just love all your vlogs Gaz, always look forward to the next one. It's great that you enjoy your food mate.
Cheers Kevin, I appreciate it👍👍
I love chow mein, I tried cooking them at home but they were never the same as from a takeaway. I bought msg from a Chinese takeaway, absolute game changer!
Yes it's good isn't it 😋👍👍
@@daviddowns2317 monosodium glutamate. It's a flavour enhancer used in Chinese restaurants. You can buy it in any Chinese supermarket
I don’t know if it’s just me but Chinese takeaways don’t see my patch on the old days does anybody else agree or is it just a taste of got more superior ?
I get curry sauce, chicken balls and chicken fried rice from my local Chinese. Mix it all together, great combo! Great clear video as always!
Kinda stoner combo
I used to love the old style Chinese chips. Nobody does them these days which is a shame.
Yes me too, all frozen now unfortunately.
When he carries the food into the light with just a finger and thumb I keep thinking "he's dropping that!"
Scares me for some reason!!!😁🖖
haha no dropsies yet lol
15 quids feck all these days for a meal for two! And if it’s tasty then even better! Looked like some serious portions too just like the Chinese philosophy of making sure your guest feels sated. Another good vlog Gareth 👍
Cheers Bill, yes it was lovely, 😋😋👍
Looks very tasty, you sure your good lady will get a look in lol
Haha maybe lol
What I always do when I order a special curry from the Chinese is say no onions, as they use a lot to pack the meal out , also that way you get extra meat , love the review Gaz , see you on the next one , hope you and your good lady enjoyed it .
Cheers Steven, thank you
Highly doubt you get extra meat. Plus onions are nice.
I'm watching this at 1 o'clock thinkin I could just go chippy curry an half-and-half haha
I've never once got a beef curry from a chinese takeaway that didn't have rubbery meat. Tough as old boots the lot of them.
I love UK Chinese cuisine (UK is different to other countries)..made especially for our palette and importantly the ingredients available in mid 1850 China Towns here in UK...ie Liverpool which is the oldest. I cook my own now though I follow Khoan Vongs channel and just follow the videos! If I can replicate UK Chinese cuisine anyone can! The noodles looked like #1 Lucky Boat noodles, personally I prefer the thinnner ones which are #2 Lucky boat. Give it a go Gareth. Ps the chips would be 15mm AVIKO from cash & carry
Cheers Catherine, great comment this, thanks 😊👍👍
I ordered a house special curry earlier tonight after watching this video lol Was craving one..It came in a round foil container and was full to the brim. Lush
yummy im getting one tonight
Get it dished up Gaz, 2 spring rolls please ! 😋...crikey, that's not bad value. My local Chinese here in Leicester is double dear!! The food is quality but you pay for it, I usually order Yung Chow fried rice, sweet n sour chicken balls, cantonese crispy beef and pancake rolls, with delivery £33 !!
So good
Hi Gaz have ever cooked your own cheese bacon and Egg dip with cob and best butter dipped in if you want the ingredient just let me know
and I will get back to you.
Regards........Barry.
Our local Chinese does the best homemade chips
Great review ☺ 👍
Hit and miss chineses .I'm from Wolverhampton and they used to put currys in large containers, now they put em in small ones unless u pay xtra 😂😂propa stingey. Food looks lovely, its horrible when your on a diet n your seeing all this food. But love the channel propa gent u am m8 xx
Thank you kind of you to say. Yes they always find ways to charge more don't they
My favoured bro , but Singapore fried rice plus vermicelli noodles too 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Yes they are lovely
Iused to order egg Foo yung prawn crackers chicken with pineapple and curry sauce seriously good it was but not now .it got expensive.
The only food I really miss from home, just cant buy it like that where I live.
thats alot of food and great value for £15. The meat does tend to be a bit tough in most Chinese places i've been to including Thai takeaways and restaurants as they blast fry the beef in a wok.
Cheers Mike, I didn't know that's how they do the beef, thank you 👍👍
The Anchor Chinese is the best.
"My curry was rubbery " ................."Thank you so much sir"...............🤠
Most Chinese curries have garden peas also
