Hell yeah yellow rice! I enjoy it at my cart. nice and oily/flavorful. I'm also not a huge fan of basmati in general....

Regular white rice is last for me. I eat it too often at home to eat it outside unless no choice. I'm a fan of basmati rice. Jasmine rice too. I like fragrant rices.
It's usually default yellow rice or basmasti rice with the Halal carts. I do not recall any of them that provide both options?
IMO, for most Halal vendors:
Basmasti > Yellow > WhiteYou can call an audible for spicy, veggie, or other seasoned rices. Heck, I'd choose brown rice over regular white.
(I think you mean white Basmati > Yellow but I'm not going to assume)
And overcooked, waterlogged or fat rice is NEVER welcome on a plate.

I like the yellow rice (TC feel free to insult me) over everything.

I didn't say I don't like the yellow rice but I know which one I prefer if given the choice. Like my fav. street meats isn't Kwik Meal, it's still 53/6 Halal Guys lunchtime cart and they have a default yellow rice.
Maybe more yellow for you then, Cheese, and I'll keep the white...basmati. ;P
I do enjoy saffron rice!

Oh Cheese, I'll just bet you do. :P

I wants me some street meats today.

The "brown" rice at the Famous Fallafel Guys (52 & 7th - SE corner) is pretty good. It's not really brown rice - but basmati with curry. It's pretty good. That cart isn't mentioned much on ML, but their lamb over rice is legit. Good white sauce; hot sauce is hot, not tobasco like so many others.

Generally speaking anyway, especially when dealing with halal carts. Of course good basmati rice is tops, but I'm always surprised when so many people will choose the default yellow rice.
Anyone else choose yellow rice?
