I’m a big fan of Indian-Chinese food. I had my Chinese friends try it, and they liked it. But they also have Malaysianized Indian food, which was bad, but my Chinese friends seemed to like it.
I have had authentic Chinese food. I have been to restaurants where the menus had no word of English and I was the only non-Chinese person there, but I didn’t really like the food. Maybe it is similar for my friends. Adapted food perhaps tastes better to such eccentric taste buds.
