What's your favourite Chinese food?

Woot Woot Kung Pao.

Kung Pao chicken with lots of peppers and onions.

Won Ton, hand down :)

But then again much of my country’s food is a copycat of China :p

Shredded duck pancakes. Duck with anything, actually. Anything with black bean sauce or chilli/garlic sauce. Salt & Pepper Chicken. Rice noodles (the flat, white ones – not sure what the Chinese name for them is – they’re not common in take-out places in the UK but we can get them in supermarkets).

Steamed jellyfish – I had this in a Chinese banquet in a restaurant once, I thought they were some sort of noodles cooked in fish stock. The waitress wouldn’t tell us what they were at first, when I finally convinced her to tell me, everyone else at the table went “ewww” and let me finish it all off.

What I don’t like so much is the sweet, sticky sauces like sweet-and-sour, lemon, plum, etc. Also not so keen on the satay/peanut sauces even though I actually like peanuts.

Stir-fry vegetables with tofu.

Empress chicken

I’m a vegetarian, so I find it hard to find many vegetarian Chinese dishes where I live. I love egg drop soup. I love all of the flavors of Chinese food. We had a really good vegetarian Chinese restaurant in our town, but they went out of business. I think I actually cried. They had this dish called golden mushroom that was sublime. There are lots of vegetarian Asian (mostly Chinese) restaurants in Los Angeles. Every time I go to Los Angeles, me and my friends find one of them and pig out. Fake meat is our friend.

Back in the day, before I was a vegetarian, broccoli beef and sweet and sour pork were my favorites. I love the vegetarian versions of both of those dishes.

My typical order is crab Rangoon, chicken lo mein, pork fried rice, and an egg roll. I also like won ton soup and sesame chicken.

Our favorites shift. Cashew prawns, pressed almond duck, sizzling rice soup currently top the list. Dim sum dining is another matter. We know (and probably mispronounce) the Cantonese names for the dishes when they parade by on the carts, but have no idea about their names in English. The printed menu lists items in English that tell you nothing. I mean what would you expect “perfumed dumplings” or “prawn blossoms” to be?

Moo shu pork or chicken and BBQ spare ribs.

@Pachy Jinx I was going to say moo shu pork. Otherwise, I love dim sum, especially shrimp balls and pork shu mai.

Chicken lo mein and pork-fried rice.
I’ve had dim sum a couple times and it’s amazing, except I couldn’t remember a thing I’ve eaten at one of them. I dont even’t think I knew what I was eating at the time, either, to be honest.

Henry’s Special (Chicken, shrimp, scallops and vegetables with hot bean sauce) from Hunan Restaurant in San Francisco. Preceded by onion cakes, of course.

Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings); Singapore Chow Mei Fun; Szechuan Orange Beef; Crispy Salt & Pepper Squid; Scallion Pancakes, and just about anything in Garlic Sauce. My sweetie is a more adventurous eater, and he also loves Beef Tendon and Crispy Pig Intestine.

Sweet & Sour Pork or Moo Shu Pork. I also love Shrimp Chow Mein, Walnut Shrimp, and Won Ton Soup.

My wife’s favorite chinese food is Family Meal #1

These are all spelled wrong.

Moo shu pork (no pancakes)
Chow fun noodles with beef
Wonton soup
BBQ spare rib
Curry chicken

When I traveled in Asia, the BEST was corn soup, ( have never found it here in any authentic form like most americanized versions of chinese food. )
I could live on corn soup and authentic dumplings.
There was one little restaurant across from my apartment in Taipei City Taiwan that made the freshest egg foo yung, it was SO fresh, veggies hand picked on site as were the eggs and if you didn’t eat it all overnight it went bad because there were absolutely no additives or MSG. Now THAT is true chinese food.

Spicy beef and lemon chicken . We moved to another state and I was crazy about their Chinese place so , of course, it closed down. In nine years we moved back here and our favorite Chinese buffet had gone out of business.
It’s funny in a sick way. lol

Jasmine rice steamed, lo mein, any dumpling, love coconut curry (thai?), etc… Korean is my second fave.

BBQ duck and beef and broccoli.

I love egg rollos with sweet and sour sauce.

@Adirondackwannabe “Egg rollos.” I’m trying to imagine that with the (supposed) typo.

Side ribs cut with a pair of scissors.

Yum egg rollos. Laughs. Screw it, have fun with it.

The milk chocolate is the egg white, and the caramel is the yolk. It works perfectly!

Boring but I love chinese omelettes. I love chicken foo yung.

Dim Sum, as it is good “social” food. Easy to serve, easy to eat. A good deal of it is steamed, which is better than fried, on the health side of things anyway.
