You will be surprised to find out that many Western dishes have been successfully moulded with those of the East to delight even the most difficult palates. If certain ingredients do not agree with you or you simply do not like the taste, avoid them.
Try others. Thereis an enormous variety to choose from. Here is a-concise

Modest restaurants or better still homes are the best places to taste them.
