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!
