Chinese food

[Rita_Poon]

No Chinese takeout is complete without salt & pepper chips.

And yes, matching worktops and floor it seems (rental)

Banging.

Why are all you nutters getting chips?

Help me out.

I love my food and I'll eat anything... but I have preferences and there are only a few things I'd rarely choose or avoid. I love a rich curry - jalfrezi is bliss.

The missus and her family nearly always choose a Chinese. The problem is, in my experience, there are only two dish flavour profiles .... "sweet and sour" - which is one of the very few things I dislike, or "watery gravy."

I'm sure I'm wrong. It's just that looking at a menu fills me with dread in case I accidentally order a sweet and sour. I normally go safe with pork chop suey or chow mein, or satay if I remember it. Frankly I'm bored with my choices.

Please outline your suggestions for tasty, spicey but not sweet or sour, not watery gravy Chinese dishes I can try.

Ta.

Great site lads.

, they have a better appreciation of flavour IMO.

I tried some crispy chilli beef today.

It wasn't crispy
I couldn't detect chilli
I'm uncertain there was any beef
It was smothered in sweet snd sour goop

Not a fan.

Crispy chilli chicken bud, never beef, I find beef strange from Chinese takeouts.

It's better to look into regional dishes, and go to authentic restaurants. Avoid meat dishes that involve 'feathering'.

Beef and black bean, egg fried rice and salt and pepper chips is my go to.

Over rated. Meat’s always a bit weird. A special fried rice or a Szechuan is decent. Starters are the best bits.

If in doubt, get an Indian instead.

Great site lads.

Chinese food is getting worse and worse in this country. As you say above. Two styles.

My local takeaway now has breaded chicken balls like the ones you get in sweet and sour, in every dish!! It's quite crap to be honest.

Special fried rice and special chow mein are still good though..

You're supposed to tip the sauce over the food not just drink it straight out of the container.

I've not been to the cast country of china but I have a feeling 90% of UK takeaways don't really sell the food they actually eat in china
