I agree with all your comments about eating what the locals are eating, but would "eat where it's busy". Best Asian meal I ever had was at a little place, unfortunately no longer there, called The Himalaya in Leicester in the UK. A friend who loved Indian cuisine took me there. The subtlety of the flavours was incredible and so well-handled. I have to rank it higher than some much better-known Indian establishments that I have eaten in despite all their stars and prizes.
