So I've been eating from halal carts basically everyday since I started work.

I'm curious about 2 things. Does anyone know:

1) how they make their rice yellow? is it food coloring?

2) what the hell do they put in the white sauce?

halal carts are cool and all, but the selection isn't very wide. it's the same white sauce on everything they offer so it all tastes the same. i wish there were indian carts with curry cheaper than the restaurants or more dumpling/noodle carts. why do these halal dudes have the cart game locked down?

i agree with you there. i like halal carts, but do wish there's more variety. instead of just the same old chicken/lamb with rice.

noodle/dumpling carts would be awesome, or even mexican quesadilla and burrito carts.

oh lord, i would never try to cook that shit on my own. first of all, it's not going to taste the same because you don't have the same cooking surface that they have. second, i don't know about you guys, but i never feel good or proud of myself when i'm scarfing down like 1800 calories worth of oily ass rice and greasy chicken covered in an fatty sauce late at night. it's always a shameful pleasure. third, you're going to spend so much just money and time putting together the ingredients and cooking these meals that you can get for 5 dollars that it's a joke.

nah i'm exaggerating. the white sauce has to add at least 300 calories, estimating that they squirt at least 3 tablespoons at 120 calories each on there. it's a lot of rice. that's probably another 600 calories with whatever oil/fat they use on the rice. plus the chicken is probably another 350. it's gotta be around 1200 calories. without the white sauce, i guess you might be under 1000.

I tend to just eat the chicken and vegetables (read: the one tomato piece) and skip over most of the rice.

Think that has to be a decent protein heavy meal for $5 + $1 for extra chicken
