Your Lucy Chang Curry Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a curry at Lucy Chang starts with a few useful differences: the main ingredient, the sauce and the flavours you feel like eating. Thai Green Curry Chicken, Panaeng and Massaman each take the meal in a different direction. Malaysian Yellow Curry and the Lucy Specials give you more routes to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a guide to Lucy Chang&#8217;s versions, not a rulebook for how every restaurant prepares these dishes. Start with what is in the bowl, then ask the team about anything that matters to your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Thai Green Curry Chicken: coconut, vegetables and chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucy Chang&#8217;s Thai Green Curry combines chicken and vegetables with coconut milk. A choice of side dish is included. Consider it when you are drawn to a coconut-based curry and want chicken as the main ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Panaeng: red curry with beef and lime leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panaeng brings beef and lime leaves to a red-curry base, with a choice of side included. Compared with the Green Curry Chicken, it gives you a different main ingredient as well as a different curry base. That is a more useful starting point than choosing by colour alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Massaman: chicken, peanuts and coriander<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucy&#8217;s Massaman is described as a creamy red curry with chicken, peanuts and coriander, again with a choice of side dish. The peanuts are an important part of this particular dish description, whether you are choosing for flavour or checking ingredients before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Malaysian Yellow Curry: chicken or tofu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malaysian Yellow Curry is listed with vegetables and a choice of chicken or tofu. The tofu option gives you an alternative to the chicken version. For a vegan order or any other dietary requirement, confirm the complete preparation with the team rather than relying on the main ingredient alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Two more directions: fish or duck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lucy Specials include Fish Curry with sea bass, salmon, calamari and shrimp in a red-curry base. Duck Curry takes another approach, pairing duck with lychee and pineapple. These are useful options to compare when you want to move beyond a chicken or beef curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Choose your whole plate, not just the curry name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where your dish includes a side, use that choice to finish the meal you have in mind. The menu lists jasmine rice, sticky rice, a small portion of fried rice and egg noodles. Ask which choices are available with the curry you are ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not use the colour of a curry as your only guide to its heat. Tell the team how much spice you enjoy and ask about the dish that interests you. The same goes for ingredients you need to avoid: a dish name is not a complete ingredient list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browse the menu for <a href=\"https:\/\/lucychang.com\/en\/antwerp\/\">Antwerp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lucychang.com\/en\/ghent\/\">Ghent<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lucychang.com\/en\/brasschaat\/\">Brasschaat<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/lucychang.com\/en\/knokke\/\">Knokke<\/a>, then choose the curry that matches your appetite today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a curry at Lucy Chang starts with a few useful differences: the main ingredient, the sauce and the flavours you feel like eating.
