What is your favourite food at a Chinese all you can eat or just an ordinary Chinese takeaway?

Last time I went, it was the roast ribs, going again tonight for a feast

With Chinese food, we do it right

Vege spring rolls
Wanton soup
Prawn toast
Then Chow Mein, followed by a greasy banana fritter dripping in honey.

I usually eat the REAL Chinese dishes, as any Chinese person would tell you that things like chicken chow mein and sweet and sour pork are not Chinese. But for Americanized Chinese food I love sweet and sour pork

Anything with chicken, rice and a good sause. (Fried rice is also good)

Has anyone tried a mongolian mustard sauce? Its amazing, it dosen't really sound good, but once you have tried it you think "Oh man was I wrong"


I love food, but I love drinks even better.

I started this thread when I was drunk

Anyway I love the spicy roasted ribs with plain chow Mein and also the chicken wings.

I really hate Wanton soup though, looks like a bowl of runny snot :\

What is this Prawn toast all you people are talking about? I've never heard of shrimp toast before, and I used to eat chinese every week for years.

Sesame Prawn Toast, basically sesame seeds ontop of a piece of toast with prawn baked or pasted into the bread before toasting I guess, I don't know how they make it, just know it tastes of prawns XD

I've tried my own chinese and thai recipes and they're quite awesome.

However, there was an awesome Chinese restaurant I went to that made every other Chinese seem like McDonalds. It made the seaweed taste awesome too, I've had seaweed elsewhere and it tasted disgusting.

Normally I order a Chow Mein, but it's as Chinese as Tikka Masala is Indian. But anything will noodles tends to sell me.

I wouldn't say prawn toast tastes all that prawny - considering I love prawn toast but hate prawns . To me it tastes more like fried bread. Get some the next time you order Phaelax, you'll wonder how you managed without it all this time.

Your prawn toast must particularly suck, as any I've had just tastes like prawn crackers in strange crispy sesame seed form.

Same, I had prawn toasts on my plate without realising it was prawn toast, at first I just assumed it was chicken, until somebody pointed out, 'you do realise you're eating prawns'.

Prawn crackers and prawn cocktail flavoured crisps, those the only other things I'll eat that has prawn.

I second Jeku's REAL Chinese food Dim Sum lunch is awesome, but nothing beats a solid Peking Duck dinner, with the little crepes.

Oh and hoisin sauce!

There we go, that's my favourite, Peking Duck pancakes with spring onion dipped in Hoi Sin sauce. *drools*


I like to pretend I'm eating Donald Duck.
