Best spice bag?

Doyler92

Unless you have been living under a rock, you will know the popularity of the spice bag has soared in the last year or two.

As we are lucky enough to have a decent number of Chinese takeaways in the area, I'm looking to find out who does the best spice bag.

FooLok, their Singapore spice bag, but the one in Woodview Grove, not the one in Blanchardstown Village.

Yep yep! no doubt!

Chef in Ongar is the only one I've tried, (before I went veggie ) but it seems like great value for money: a big bag that would easily feed two, plus a can of soft drink all for €5. Very tasty too imo!

Foo Lok in Woodview by a mile

The Chinese beside the eurospar in hartstown does a decent one

Problem is none of them are spicy enough... I'll stick to Vindaloo so! :-)

Pat Dunne

A Spice Bag with proper fresh chips (not frozen) would be the real deal.

You can ask for it to be spicier you know

Had one from Magic Wok last night (the one beside Eurospar in Hartstown) and it was nice, chicken balls and shredded chicken in it. Not as nice as FooLok though.

Can I be a complete philistine here and ask what the hell a spice bag is?

Chicken, chips, peppers, onions and chilli's mixed together and coated in spices (chinese five spice and some other stuff) and put into a bag/box. Yum.

You should start reading dailyedge.ie. Not a week goes by without them making up a story about a spice bag.

Sounds interesting.

That I may just do.

That I wont do!

It *should* be vile. But it is spicy and carby and delicious. If you want to be an absolute savage, go for a spice box. (basically a pizza tray full of the above ingredients and a big tub of curry sauce) Perfect hangover cure. I had an awful goo on me for a spice bag after reading this thread yesterday!

As much as I like the flavour, my problem is usually the chicken you get is rubber ****e.

January

FooLoks isn't rubbery. Well not any that I've ever had anyway.

What's the difference between a Singapore spice bag and a normal one?

LorelaiG

Spices are different, if you've ever had Singapore noodles the spices in there are what they use in a Singapore spice bag.

Doyler92

Noticed the majority of Chinese takeaways have been changing their spice bags. What’s your favourite one nowadays?

OldMrBrennan83

Chef or Yu Hong House for me.

LorelaiG

Still prefer FooLoks... although I'm not a huge fan of spice bags in general because there's too much chips and not enough chicken. I usually just get a tray of the salt and chilli chicken chunks from Chef now. The one in Ongar is best quality IMO.

OldMrBrennan83

I do like the box from Foo Lok.
