What do you typically get when you go Chinese food?

Me? I usually get some form of sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. :D

Emperor/General Tso's/Tsu's/whatever Chicken. I've seen it named so many different ways but generally it's always delicious. And fried rice, of course.

It's usually better at sit down type places though. Buffet-type places tend to make it nowhere near spicy enough so it's basically just sesame chicken with the slightest pinch of spiciness.

Only thing I like is rice with curry sauce and prawn crackers, and some spare ribs every now and then.

Ouch!

Also hot and sour soup, although that's generally a hit or a miss.

Sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice.

If it's a takeaway, then chicken chow mein or sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice.

If I'm in a sit down restaurant then peking duck in pancakes with spring onions and hoi sin sauce. nomnomnom. :jess:

If it's the chineese around the corner from me I go for their chow mein dishes, chicken, veg or prawn doesn't really fuss me this is because they do excellent chow mein so, so, so good! The sweet and sour there is nice but I often get a veg chow mein and chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce rather than a sweet and sour meal. If I'm in the buffet place on Shaftsbury Ave in Central London (MW buffet, it's owned by the same guy who owns the smaller and cheaper Mr Wu's in Wardour street but has more dishes to choose from and less cramp environment) I like to have a variety of things these include; pork char sui, pork/chicken sweet and sour, battered sesame bread, thin noodles with veg and prawns all manner of dishes I try to have a bit of everything, apart from their fruit jelly, because tbh I don't like jelly much and I'm no fan of chineese style jelly either. There's also the excellent place up in Birmingham where us EoFF crazy people went last year, I don't recall what I ate there, but the food was to die for I remember that! Next meetup we manage in Birmingham we're going back there for sure!

Beef and black bean, usually. Or anything with mushrooms.

Scallion pancakes are a must. And I really like sweet and sour chicken or pork <3 so I tend to get that a lot. <33 I really wish the Chinese places around here served more varied stuff, but whatever. It still tastes yummy <3

Sweet and sour chicken balls, fried rice of some kind, duck with beansprouts, foo yung and a pancake/spring roll. Good takeout food.

Something sweet and sour, something with cashew nuts, or beef in oyster sauce, always with special fried rice. On occasion I might get sesame prawn toasts, seaweed, or spare ribs.

I am pretty sure all the meat used by the takeaways where I live is low grade and maybe from other animals than those written on the menu but I don't mind it tastes good.

Everything going, I like Chinese food. As long as it has no actual prawns or shrimp in it. (I like the flavour of them but the texture of the things makes me puke so I can only eat things that taste like them like soup or whatever.)

Fried rice and dumplings. Wonton soup is also yummy. And the fortune cookie.:D

It varies a lot. I basically like it all, and want something new everytime I get chinese food, although it's not as often as I'd like. That'll change, though, when I'm going visit the actual country later this year... mmm, all the tasty food that awaits me :bigsmile:

I love their chicken and noodle stuff. I won't eat the Chinese Burrito ever again though.

I like orange chicken, sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken, crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, dim sum, chow mein, hot and sour soup; stuff like that. :D

When I wasn't a vegetarian I would like anything sweet and sour... and chow mein. Now I don't get too many choices. But, we don't really have any good Chinese restaurants here so I don't bother. The last time we ordered Chinese I had some Vegetarian Choy Suey, but it obviously had some beef in it. After about a hour my stomach really insisted on letting me know that it did not appreciate it and I didn't feel well for some time. You can't just feed beef to someone who's been a vegetarian for 15 years.

I'm addicted to Chinese Beef & Broccoli. I read this thread and promptly ordered some delivered to me at work. I could eat that stuff until broccoli started sprouting from me arse and I'd still want more.

Brocoli in Garlic sauce used to be my fav. But now I've tend to like Chicken Lo Mein. And Chinese donuts from all you can eat Buffets are awesome. They make me go :hyper:
