Shreadded chilli beef with noodles is the biz,however a good old King Prawn curry with fried rice and/or chips is equally as satisfying.
This has got my tummy rumbling.........will have a Chinese myself tonight.....or maybe an Indian,then a few beers over at the local...aaaaaahhhh happy days Lol.

fried beef & onions , crispy chili beef

Mongolian Chicken / Beef, it's a spicy sweet kinda dish but delicious. I tend to have it with boiled rice but goes just as great with fried or chips if that takes your fancy.

boiled rice is for women and men who like other men, the whole point of a takeaway is it's not supposed to be healthy, i don't understand people who order one and think boiled rice is going to suddenly make it all healthy, all it does is make it taste like crap.

go with fried rice or nothing.

LOL it's not about being healthy and how can something that tastes of nothing make it 'taste like crap'?

it is so bland it waters down the taste of anything you eat it with making it taste horrible.

e.g. if you had half a glass of coke and then decided to fill it with water.

Huh, more like absorbs the flavours from the dish just adding bulk to the meal.

Duck in plum sauce.

Love it.

Mongalian Roast pork. No idea what's in it. Some sort of heavy gorgeous black sauce. I'm thinking hoisin based but no idea. Only seen one takeaway do it so far. But omg it's seriously good.

Mongolian chicken is pretty much all I order from our local takeaway and has been for ages now, glad someone else has discovered it albeit in roast pork (does sound good that!) form

I find like most dishes a lot depends on the cook as to how spicey it can be, but delicious regardless.

"Chicken balls"
"Pork balls"

I never understood this. On occasion I'd get asked for them, but on informing the customer that meat does not come in "ball" form, they look awfully disappointed

. Is it the novelty factor aimed at children?

Not sure if serious

Thinking I'm going to get Peking style ribs and chicken fried rice. To finish of a drunk weekend.
