Chinese of choice?

Has to be Prawns in batter with pineapple sauce and egg fried rice. Had it tonight and was great!

All of it.

My normal default Chinese order from my local takeaway is ...

Chicken with Ginger and Spring Onions
Mixed Sweet and Sour
Mongolian Lamb (think crispy duck ... but with lamb)
Singapore Rice (spicey egg fried rice full of misc stuff)

I do really like Beef and Green Pepper in Black Bean sauce but this takeaway isn't very good at that.

Chicken with cashew nuts in Peking sauce.

Smoked Shredded Chicken with Salt & Chili.

Mongolian Lamb pancakes.

To be honest though...

Malaysian roast pork. Real dark thick strong sauce no idea what's in it.
Crispy chilli beef
Salt and pepper squid
BBQ spare ribs
Crispy aromatic duck, lamb one also makes a nice change.

Roast Pork or Chicken in Black Bean, peppers and Chilli with rice or plain chow mein.

Shouldn't we be cooking this stuff ourselves?

Anyhow, salt and pepper squid is the most delicious food ever made.

I'm not great in the kitchen but can make much better rice than most takeaways I've been to and I absolutely LOVE my home made crispy chili beef slivers!

Mastered S&S sauce as well, after quite a few attempts - again I prefer it to the dayglo goop you get from takeaways.

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to chinese food. I like a chicken fried rice or a chicken/beef curry.

BigAndy87 · 8 Jun 2011 at 13:41

prawn toast
kung pao chicken
chilli chips

Orange chicken - Same as Lemon Chicken but using Orange sauce.

Nowt else matters if I get me Orange Chicken.

Masterdog · 8 Jun 2011 at 13:49

I've only ever found one good orange chicken from a Chinese. All the others have been really horrible, but I keep trying as the one good one was the best Chinese I've ever had.

As regards OP, depends if I know the place or not. Sweet and sour pork is very hard to get wrong so I generally go for that if it's a new place. Otherwise, give me crispy beef, pineapple duck, chilli chicken, or anything really. Om nom nom.

Szechuan King Prawn

Crispy Chilli Beef

Freefaller · 8 Jun 2011 at 15:12

Aromatic crispy duck!! Love it!

Anything vaguely hot, with noodles, and some cripsy meat.

Does dim sum come under Chinese food? If so, they're right up there!
