Comparing Chinese and Indian food

Both the countries have very old culture which is reflected in their foods as well. Most of the article I have read on this topic have some bias since most of the people have not tasted the entire variety of both the foods.

Being an Indian I like Indian food but that does not mean than that I dont like Chinese Food. Some people of said dishes like Chowmin, Chopsuey etc. believe me these are not chinese dishes. Actually in terms of variety chinese food has got more diverse variety than Indian food. I stay in Singapore for the past eight years and developed some knowledge of chinese food. The variety is so much that you can have one different dish for your every meal (2 meals a day)for entire year (that I am talking about the variety available in Singapore).

No doubt that Indian food is tasty but so also chinese. There is a myth that chinese food does not have spices and herbs.

One thing which is great in chienese food is that it’s calming to the stomoch, that is after havaing a full meal you dont feel agitated as compared to Indian food (again not all varieties).

Now coming back to India food, for most of the people Indian food is Naan, Tanduri, Chicken Tikka etc. But believe me more than 99% of Indian dont eat this kind of food at home, I mean to say the kind of food you get in Indian restauants is completely different from what is eaten at home.

In a nutshell food is food. One should not compare two foods, the main purpose of food is to surive. Now the there is one more question which can come up “Do we live to eat to eat to live?”
