>>11492163
orange chicken and steamed dumplings

>>11492163
chow mein noodles with mixed veg and mushroom, with a side of salt and chilli tofu
duck pancakes if i'm feeling fancy

>>11492163
Mainly
Caramel chicken - Only served on one restaurant that I know of
Curry chicken - Only served on another restaurant that I know of
Orange chicken
I avoid Pepper steak on chinese restaurants because there's rumours they either use iguanas or cats for it.
At least iguanas diet is herbivorous

Can't go wrong with Chili Chicken

>>11492163
2 number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number seven, 2 number 45's, one with cheese and a large soda.

Usually a couple appetizers. Steamed dumplings, spring rolls, maybe char siu. If something larger, I might get lo mein.

>I avoid Pepper steak on chinese restaurants because there's rumours they either use iguanas or cats for it.
Why don't they just sell iguana steak as an exotic delicacy instead, genious business idea.

>>11492163
I get garlic chicken from the vietnamese place down the road. They're all oriental to me though

>>11492512
Probably to avoid a bad reputation.
>hey nobody is buying our iguana steak. wat do?
>let's stop selling it
>have you noticed how this chinese rest stopped serving iguana steak?
what do they do with their iguanas then?
>go bankrupt

Yeah not very smart.

Numbah 2

>>11492163
A lot of stuffs depend on what the specialty of the store is
Honey walnut shrimp and fried calamari is my guilty pleasure though

>>11492163
Admiral Tso's chicken

>>11492163
Either shrimp and lobster sauce with porkfried rice and a pint of egg drop soup
or kung pao chicken with lo mein and hot and sour soup

unironically schezuan chicken because its delcious and ive been eating it years before that stupid show came out

>>11492440
never understood this, iguana and cat are way more expensive by the pound than beef
it would just be a waste of money

>>11492163
fujian chow fan

>>11492934
Why do you think it's more expensive? Not because it's better but because no one buys it.
Only soulless sub-human chinks eat cat meat.

>>11492948
Why not? You eat fast food with any meat.
Only retarded fatass americunts eat burgers.

>>11492928
huh?

>>11493013
you got a boyfriend i bet he doesnt kiss ya

>>11492163
>Drive by local chinese place every day
>Tried it one years ago, didn't like it
>Convince myself I just ordered the wrong dishes
>Go back last week, order Mongolian beef and pork lo mein
>Food comes quickly (good sign right?)
>Get home and start eating
>Mongolian beef is more like Mongolian vegetables and very underwhelming
>Lo Mein is tasteless
Why do I keep talking myself into giving places which make mediocre food a second chance?

>>11493320
any place can have an off day, so giving them a second chance is ok
You probably shouldn't go a 3rd time though you fucking retarded frog poster

>>11493172
I've already got your mom kiss me in the dick
while you and your imaginary boyfriend jerking off in the basement

>>11493336
he gon find another girl and he wont miss ya

>>11493341
huh?

>>11493345
He gon' skrrt and hit the dab like Wiz Khalifa

For me, it's the pork egg foo yung, boneless spareribs and fried chicken wings.

>>11492163
Tender beef w. vegetables in garlic sauce and some noodles

>>11493349
??? full-retard ???

>>11493371
You play with them balls like it’s FIFA

>>11492163
pork or noodles

>>11493379
we gon kick you in the head like we antifa

>>11493400
You won every level, you’re the leader, ooh

Whenever I order Chinese I feel like they skimp out on the meat and pack all the dishes with vegetables

>>11492163
>moo shu pork
>house fried rice
>crab puffs
sometimes soup, sometimes dumplings

>>11493435
>they skimp out on the meat and pack all the dishes with vegetables
Yeah, most places do that. I do have a Vietnamese place a few miles from me where the ration is 70/30 meat to veggies. Wish they were open on Sundays.

>>11493446
>moo shu pork
Mmmm that's the good stuff. My other go to is egg foo young, pork or maybe shrimp if I'm feeling fancy.

>>11492163
Unironically I usually order some japanese dish, they have both.
My favourite is probably Te Pa Yaki.
Do you really get chinese food in those paper boxes in the US? And do people really order like 8 different things?

>>11492163
mu shu pork
'ral 'o's chicken
'golian beef
'rab 'goons
'pao chicken

A plate with half chow mein, half steamed veggies, beijing beef, sweet fire chicken breast, and a side of cream cheese rangoons

>>11494329
Egg foo young is great, especially if your trying to get dem gains.

>>11492163
from best to worst:
>Singapore Fried Rice
>Yeung Chow Fried Rice
>Singapore Chow Mein
>Special Fried Rice
>Chicken Chow Mein
>BBQ Spicy ribs

Prawn balls and spring rolls are nice to have every now and then but generally it's one of the above with chips and curry sauce = £8.

Always get it with Curry Sauce and Chips.

>>11492163
I used to order fried duck with peanut sauce a lot but recently I've been all about that kung pao beef
Fried wan tans and peking soup are the best appetizers
The fried rice/noodles with chicken also works well when I'm low on cash, big portion for half the cost of most other things

>>11493320
Mongolian beef is a real hit or miss even at good restaurants. It's usually nothing special and some places it's almost entirely onions. When you get it just right though it's so good.

>>11492163
dog meat dumplings

>>11492485
lol

>>11492163
singapore noodles
hot and sour soup

Salt and pepper squid.

I’m from Singapore and I’ve never seen those dishes here.

t. Singapore chink

>>11492163
Depends. My local joint has a dinner combo for $7 that comes with pork fried rice, Sweet&sour pork and chow mein. They tend to skimp on the s&s pork so we get an extra side of that for $3. Altogether its about 3lbs of food. We split it and its enough for 2-3 meals for each of us and it's ducking tasty.

Some places Ill opt for chicken fried rice or curry.

>>11492317
do you live in milwaukee?
some delivery guy accidentally delivered me waaayy too much food recently
i ate this out of their bag. p good. i didnt know what it was to begin because i was drunk and didnt order it

>>11492369
so. fucking. based

Wonton soup, with dumplings or teriyaki sticks.

>>11492317
My sister had this dish recently at a very popular Chinese place in my city. I sampled it, was pretty damn good. The wide noodles are different from the typical lo mein thin noodles, but I liked it.

>>11495936
singapore noodles is 星洲米粉, invented in HK

Chicken nugger

The chinese restaurant I like is a Sichuan place and we always get these dumplings

>>11497747
Got this mixed dry pot last time

>>11497751
This is one of the best things I've ever esten. Fish in Sichuan sauce, bok choy underneath

>>11497260
yea its nice, theres the wet and dry versions

>>11497754
i know thats probably delicious AF but the oil is still daunting

>>11497773
What meat is that?

>>11497872
beef. Beef hor fun (wet)

here is same dish but dry version. Chow hor fun doesnt have beef specified and thats the difference vs this, in SEA they add cockles to that and its a signature street dish.

>>11497754
Holy fucking based. Probably my favorite food ever. Always get this at Peter Chang’s

>>11492169
Underrated post

I get the buffet.

Also,
>>11492176
Good.

Sweet and sour pork
And

>>11499611
Chow mein

>>11496756
>>11497260
>do you live in milwaukee?
no, but i'm glad that you guys enjoyed it. yeah, it's very oily. it's good every now and then.

>>11492163
Katsu curry usually.

black bean rice noodle

>>11492163
This is what I order but bear in mind it's more expensive to order this way. You'll get more calories for your dollar with fried rice or chow mein. I think one misconception around Chinese food is that they have a separate menu for Chinese people. In many cases probably they do, but it's also the case that Chinese order different items, and are willing to spend more. The people you see who are best buddies with the owners probably spend a lot too.

>Da dou miao
Sauteed snow pea tips. This is the best vegetable dish, and most places serve it. I think one of my favorite places served it with preserved egg.
>Crispy chicken
Chicken friend until crisp and chopped into pieces.
>Steamed fish
Goes by a variety of names, but fish steamed with ginger and scallions.
>"Red cooked" pork hock
Also goes by a variety of names, but it's slow cooked porks shank. See http://hungerhunger.blogspot.com/2010/03/hung-shao-yuen-ti.html
>Clay pot tofu
One of the best tofu dishes, very similar in some ways to agedashi tofu.
>Mala chicken
In Szechuan places, this is a go to dish. It's like crispy chicken buy with chili and szechuan peppers.
>Shui Zhu Yu
Possibly the most classic Szechuan dish, fish slices in a soup of chili and szechuan peppers.

>>11500003
And for dim sim/yum cha I order the following

>cha siu bow (cha sao bao in Mandarin)
BBQ pork buns. Very tasty and filling.
>Har gow and shumai
I always forget which is which, but these are classics and I feel compelled to order them.
>Pai Gwat
Pork spare ribs. Another classic, don't really like it but I order it for the table because usually someone does.
>cheung fan
Rice noodle sheets with either bbq pork, shrimp or scallion, wrapped into a cylinder. Very tasty.
>jia leung (jia liang in Mandarin)
Doesn't have an English name but it's you tiao (Chinese donuts/crullers) wrapped in mi fan (flat noodles). Quality really varies a lot, but I always get it once at a new place. When it's good it's really good.
>sin juk guen
Bean curd sheets wrapped around pickled vegetables and pork. Quality also varies a lot.
>Anything that isn't standard
A lot of places experiment so I like to try it. For example Nom Wah has a really good Shrimp & Snow Pea Leaf dumpling. I've never had it anywhere else, and it's actually the only thing I really liked there.
>dan tat
Egg tart, originally based on the Portuguese egg tart. Most places make these decently and it's the only dim sim desert I really like.

I avoid the following

>vegetables
They are actually expensive and come drenched in oysters sauce that I don't like
>other sweets
Just my preference
>Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf
Not a hard rule but you don't want to fill up on carbs at dim sim
>Deep fried lobster dumplings
They are expensive and not that good in my opnion.
>Chickens feet
I used to order them to be hardcore but realized I don't really like them.
>Scallion pancake
Dim sim places tend not to make this well, it's more a Northern or at least Shanghai thing.
>Xiaolongbao
These are a Shanghaiese speciality and Dim Sim is a cantonese thing. Dim sim places will make it, and it's ok, but nothing special and not worth it.

How do Chinese manage to stay slim with all this good protein?

>>11501359
proper chinese food tends to have higher fiber to protein ratio than what most gwai lo take away. Fun fact, chinese food didn't originally do well in US until they upped the meat factor for ameriburgers

>>11501359
What, the enormous piles of deep-fried meat slathered in sauce? I don't really eat the stuff on a regular basis.

>>11501359
social pressure like the japanese do

also (speaking as southern chinese) for daily eating veggie dishes tend to outnumber the meat ones, except for special occasions. For things like traditional canto/teochew cuisine theres also strong emphasis on lightly seasoned steamed dishes. Even stronger tasting braised meats isnt unhealthy. Deep frying is uncommon.

Cumin lamb is one of my favorites.

Also this
>>11497754

This is proper chinese food: Deep fried banana with syrup and vanilla icecream

>>11492163
Either orange or szechuan chicken lunch special with fried rice, comes with egg roll and hot and sour soup. Recently found out you can also get honey walnut prawns as well, it's fucking delicious but it's technically a combination dinner which costs more so I only order that one sometimes.

Chicken chow mein
Pork balls in batter
Prawn toast
Spring rolls
Special fried rice
Prawn crackers

Depends on where I am. If I am at my usual place, it’s pork fried rice and an egg roll every time.
Anywhere else, it’s egg drop soup and a random chicken and vegetable dish.
