Questions about Chinese Food

[thereds]

What is a good side dish that doesn't have so many vegetables? So far everything I've ordered is loaded with broccoli, peppers etc. Is there anything that just has maybe one vegetable, chicken, and gravy?

What is Moo Goo Gai Pan (sp?) Is that any good?

Mongolian beef? Orange chicken?

Are you eating in a real restaurant, or something like China Express?

Some express joint. I don't think this place even has mongolian beef on its 'Dinner Combo'.

I just need something quick and greasy.

 

[thereds]

anyone? I'm really hungry.

 

[Kelvrick]

If its express, don't you walk along and see all the possible dishes? Get whatever looks good. Peking ribs or duck maybe?

Sorry dude, didn't clarify. It ain't one of them buffet joints. Its like them express restaurants if that done make sense.

Get something like orange chicken, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, something like that. Usually the dishes that have breaded meat(like the ones I just listed) don't come with veggies.

I dont think General Tso's Chicken has too many vegetables.

 

[pac1085]

sesame chicken is the bomb

 

[Moonbeam]

Beef with broccoli. You make that with beef and broccoli just like it says. If not you can go after them for truth in advertizing.

That's my favorite! It only uses green onion from the various places that I have eaten before. Willow beef is OK too.

 

[Semidevil]

just say that you want brocolli beef minus the broccoli. the'll let you do that right???

it's like a burger, minus, onions, cheez, lettuce and tomato.....

Any black bean Hot Pot would do.

1. Fish
2. Pork (even those I hate pork)
3. Chicken
4. Beef
5. Prawn

or roast pork & duck.

The best veggie dish is steam Gai Lan serve with a thin soy-sauce/sesame oil.

lol

all of you are getting "western chinese" food

chinese people dont order dishes like wonton soup, sweet & sour pork etc

goto a real chinese restrauant and order something on the menu
then you will get to taste real chinese food

You coulda fooled me because a whole lot of Cantonese restaurants in San Francisco serve wonton noodle soup.

 

[littlegohan]

Yeah

sometimes, even "real " chinese restrauants have "western" dishes in their menu

just dont pick those crap

order
something nice from their menus

 

[ThunderGirl]

I like the egg rolls , fried wonton, crab rangoon, egg drop soup.

Other than that I always just get Ham Fried Rice.

 

[Rallispec]

whenever i get chinese, this is what i get...


general tso's, fried rice, and chicken lo mein. best combo ever.

 

[LiLRiceBoi]

LoL

I dont wanna be racist or anything, so dont get offended... but... you guys are WHITE. I'm chinese btw....

If you go to cheap places they'll load up on veggies cuz they're cheap.

Moo Goo Gai Pan is sliced chicken with mushrooms. Some places add different vegetables in that dish.

If you want a dish with less vegetables, I'd try Orange Chicken, General's Chicken or Lemon Chicken.

When I was in Philly, they had Grandpa's chicken, which is close to Sweet Sour chicken, but with more flavour.

 

[Pastfinder]

Sweet and Sour Pork (or Chicken0
Egg roll
Fried Chicken Wings

 

[DDCSpeed]

moo goo gai pan is mushroom chicken.

it sounds like you are getting fast food chinese restaurants....i suggest you go to a real chinese place to eat.

 

[Aquaman]

Cheers,

Sometimes I go to Chinatown here in Vancouver, and find some tiny little hole in the wall restaurant. I order something sounding odd, get something that looks odder, and don't ask questions. Good stuff

The "western" chinese food places are good too though. Sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken, chicken chow mein, chop suey... mmm
