What Kinda Chinese Food Do You Like?

If one can include pictures, that would be great but not necessary. Anyways I really like the breakfast dish called "Har Gow". It's basically steamed shrimp dumplings eaten for breakfast. Sooo good and tasty!

Any Chinese food, but 1 condition: bought in China :slight_smile:
Usually I ate baozi from street trolley kitchen for breakfeast when visiting China.
Century eggs, seafood and any meals served on the streets.
Tea eggs are delicious, cooked in the buckets on clay bricks and small campfire on many street corners and marketplaces.

There is big downsize: after eating in China all so-caled Chinese food in EU taste crap.

The “Chinese” food I typically eat is not really Chinese. I usually get General Tso’s Chicken with chicken fried rice. Not very ethnic but very tasty. :smiley:

Some of my favorites include sweet & sour pork and egg foo young.

we like the cheap frozen junk food in the grocery store.

Happy Family

Colourful vegetables like broccoli, baby corn, mushrooms and carrots mixed cooked with different meats like beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, lobster and scallops served in flavourful brown gravy.
It’s in there.

Sticky rice is another tasty treat and it's gooood. It's glutinous rice or sweet rice with pork and mushrooms inside and then steamed. They have it during breakfast time. Another one to try is "Flat Rice Noodle With Beef In Soy Sauce" or otherwise called "Char Kuey Teow". It's one of the cheapest on the menu but super tasty. Here's a video but no beef in this one and the rest of the ingredients are the same.

Snack from hotel minibar in Hangzhou:

Some street food :slight_smile:

Yeah, chicken feet is where I draw the line. I'm sure it's tasty but the look of it turns me off. Something to do with claws, ground and just scary looking.

Looks tasty but it's still chicken feet to me. Maybe one day when I really have to eat it.

Without a doubt, general tsos chicken.

Almost all of it is excellent. Except ribs, they are always dry and way overdone.

Though the pepper beef is one of my favourites.

I’ve never been to China but from ‘chinese’ restaurants here my orders always include a quart of hot and sour soup usually extra hot and extra sour.

In NYC, Chinese food is as popular as pizza, if not more.

Pretty much any of the “Chinese” food from the local takeout is awesome, and for me, spicier the better. And it’s always better when everyone in the family orders something different to have some variety!

Dang it, now I’m hungry for some Chinese food. :stuck_out_tongue:

There it is. I agree whole-heartedly.

I have a few ‘Go-To’ dishes for various types of cuisine and if you ‘freak’ them up, you’re dead to me.

As an aside, my gal and I eat out 5-6 times a week, from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale to Boca Raton to the Keys and we’re not ‘skeezers.’

Cashew Chicken and Dim Sum for Ameri-WuFlu.

Fajitas for our bean eating friends.

Ravioli for our Mafia types.

Swarma /gyros for our Med. fans.

NY Strips.

Sushi!

Chicken feet are great but duck feet is even better because of the high skin to bone ratio :slight_smile:

Pig’s feet are also pretty tasty.

If you ever get a chance try bird’s nest soup, which is made from actual bird spit. Unfortunately not easy to find unless you’re in a large Chinese location.

Duck feet?? Woah I dunno about those but if and just if they were deep-fried, then I might try it. :)) I like bird's nest soup, especially the sweet kind. Funny how one can be turned off by chicken feet but not by saliva. :???:

Okay, have I got a dish to try out for sure. It's always on the menus at the restaurants. So this is a dish that might make some queasy but it is so goooood!! It's called "Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice".

Okay, now the queasy part of the dish. The fish is fermented in oil and it's around 30% rotten. :O Plus the dish doesn't have the most pleasant odor. The fish is deep-fried first so it's not that bad. It's got the saltiness of the fish and the sweetness of the chicken. I'm pretty sure first-timers who order this will like it so give it a go and you'll see what I mean. :-)

Salted fish & chicken fried rice isn’t bad but it’s a bit too salty for my taste even though I have it probably 10 times or so a year.

We used to have shark fin soup a lot and it was delicious. It’s illegal to get in the US these days which is a good thing because of the millions of sharks that were killed for their fins, but I still have fond memories of drinking it :smiley:

Another dish you should try is Peking duck but it’s a hard dish to make and can be be pretty bad if prepare incorrectly.

Duck Chop Suey spici
