Not a big fan of Chinese really, greasy as feck but usually go for Chicken in Black Bean Sauce or Crispy Shredded Beef w/ plain Chow Mein plus Crab & Sweetcorn Soup and Spring Rolls as starters.

Recently been having Chicken Curry, Plain Chow Mein, the soup and a portion of Chips. That's about right.

Would take an Indian over a Chinese all day though.

EDIT - I've also had Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls once, the sauce was in 1 tray and the balls in another, but I was pissed up and dropped the sauce so I dunno what that's like.

I really cut back on how much I get Chinese and I only order from this place that delivers because they aren't as greasy as the local spots near me.

House Special Lo Mein or Beef with Broccoli are my two faves.

I also like those steamed dumplings but I only get those once in a blue moon.

Wonton Soup is so good and also Crab Rangoons but those vary so much from place to place.

yo chameleon how did i forget about those crab rangoons i feel ashamed of myself right now cause they rule so much

i go to buffets sometimes mainly for crab legs but i always get explosive diahrea afterwards. its a pros vs cons thing

ive ventured into the land of vietnamese food and that might beat chinese food imo

When I hit up the buffets I stay far away from those crab legs. I don't even trust them for some reason plus I don't like the work of cracking them open and all that shit.

I've never tried Vietnamese food or Thai food but I'd love to one day.

Dim Sum- The only Chinese I'll eat anymore. I don't eat fast food of any type if I can help it.

Chow Mein is not even authentic Chinese food, is it? A lot of stuff we eat over here that's considered Chinese isn't actually, because it's been modified for our palettes.
