I like to try new things but definitely get the fear! Googling sometimes backfires because one restaurant might interpret the dish slightly differently. An expert helping me pick is always first choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-looking-at-a-menu-of-a-cuisine-foreign-to-you#post-2579540 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 08:06:06 +0000 FaithFertility 2579540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I've googled!!!! We have an amazing Thai restaurant close!! I LOVE everything I've tried, but definitely Google what isis in it!<br /> The sweet lady who takes our order always tells us to point in menu :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-looking-at-a-menu-of-a-cuisine-foreign-to-you#post-2579524 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 07:56:48 +0000 snowjewelz 2579524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Our area has a lot of middle eastern and different region Indian cuisine and I always want to try something new hence the constant googling haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-looking-at-a-menu-of-a-cuisine-foreign-to-you#post-2579511 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 07:41:11 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2579511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Google is my friend if I want to know more. Often though, the description with flavors listed is enough for me to narrow down my choices. I always ask the waiter their opinion on my choices before I pick a winner. Knowledgeable wait staff (or dining partner) is key when trying new cuisine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-looking-at-a-menu-of-a-cuisine-foreign-to-you#post-2579478 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 04:16:53 +0000 mrbee 2579478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I didn't realize til reading your post that I don't try new ethnic cuisines that often!! Gotta change that... although our current city doesn't much in the way of ethnic foods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-looking-at-a-menu-of-a-cuisine-foreign-to-you#post-2577689 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:57:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2577689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do the following - </p> <p>1. Look at the website/Yelp pics &amp; reviews before hand</p> <p>2. If #1 is not done, I will literally google the dishes to see what they look like and get more info before ordering. I find that visuals work way better than descriptions for me!</p> <p>3. Last resort is asking the waiter/waitress what they recommend or just picking blindly</p> <p>We were out at a Korean restaurant yesterday and there was this couple obviously trying to cuisine for the first, or second time. They had so much trouble with the menu and also communicating with the lady. I really wanted to jump in and explain it to them! </p>
