oh i dunno... like abalone and the rest of the weird looking stuff my parents had me order for my wedding banquet.

Oh those. They aren't that bad since it's considered mainstream. Better off for you to have em in wedding dinners so that the food is more presentable.

Even so, I hate abalones, sea cucumbers and shark's fin although everyone loves em here.. BLECH...

man, you gwei los know nothing about real chinese food. Most of the stuff you people are eating are Chinese take out. If you want to go to a good Chinese restaurant, go to ones with tanks holding live seafood.

There are so many different kinds of chinese dishes for different occasions, from different areas in China, but if i were to have only one dish, I'd have steamed lobster with green onions and garlic.

Hmm the one I eat is different, the salted fish is on top of the pork which is seasoned with sesame oil and some cornstarch, then the whole thing is steamed and some hot oil is poured over it at the end. Any idea what style of cooking your dish is? The dish I'm thinking of is probably either Cantonese or Toisanese

That dish rules. When I was growing up I had that at least once a week. My grandparents made it with ground pork, water chestnuts, and diced ginger. Put some salted fish and more diced ginger and steam the whole thing.

Or sometimes they would scramble duck eggs,regular eggs, slice up some pi dan, and pour it over the meat and then steam it kind of like a souffle. That was good too. I wish I had learned how to make this stuff when I was growing up. :(

^^Excuse the spelling.^^

you have absolutly now idea about REAL chinese food ;) those Panda Express type items are sooo far off from the good stuff
I guess not, but then again I live on the east coast of US in a small town, plus I don't have any authentic chinese food places where I live. There's other things that I like, such as the following:
Cesame Chicken
Beef and Brocolli
Chicken and Brocolli
Cheese Wontons
Pork wontons
Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken, Shrimp
Fried Rice
Mongolian Beef
Cashew Chicken
Hot and Sour soup

The first things just happen to be my favorite and looks like I'm not the only one that loves Kung Pao Chinken. ;)

Hehe I have something similar to the egg dish too, they just use salted regular eggs (sometimes duck eggs) and then pour it over the meat and steam. Hmm I could go for some of that salted fish...
