Nope, but the westernized version is pretty good

Agreed, it's the best by far

>>18048584
It's really not.

Only Western interpretations of it are any good because they don't contain dogs, or cats, or rats, or bats, or gutter oil

Szechuan and Hunan are so fucking good

>>18048796
No, it isn't. Why is this opinion parroted so much here? It's such a strange opinion. You like less flavour?
If you meant Hong Kong style fusion food is understand, but you mean takeaway Chinese food made by Pakistani people.

>>18050758
>Why is this opinion parroted so much here?
It's pure Cope by Midwesterners and New Yorkers, who both have a pathological need to think they're the best at everything.

>>18048584
Like pizza, it took Americans to fix Chinese food and put it on the map.

>>18050758
Chink here. Shut the fuck up you fucking virtue signaling faggot. No other chink I've ever met gives a shit. We bitch at each other for cooking shit wrong but if some gweilou wants to praise chinese food we're all proud of it because we have a working cultural identity. I don't care if you're eating noodles or scallion pancakes or mapo tofu or fucking orange chicken, if you like it then I feel good because I know my culture's food is good. I'm not even from mainland china, are you going to tell me I don't get to eat paigu rice because I'm from the wrong square of dirt?
Fucking retard. Chinese being a big fucking place with a million local cuisines doesn't mean it isn't all chinese food. I hate you faggots so much.

>>18048584
DUDE

hear me out

what if we..... GET THIS.... what if we DEEP FRIED A.L.L of our FOOD???

LMFAO

>>18050758
It's a bad joke. They're 4ch users. They don't mean what they say, and a lot of it is not funny. The funny part is you.

>>18048584
As someone who's had Chinese food in China, Hong Kong, USA, Mexico, Panama, Ireland, and the UK, I can whole heartedly say American Chinese food is the GOAT Chinese food, and potentially up there as one of the GOAT cuisines out there. Chinese Chinese food isn't as bad as British Chinese food but goddamn is it unsatisfying. Pretty damn bad. Like most types of localised cuisine, the British version is a war crime in a BPA-filled plastic tub. Irish is alright, Mexican/Panamanian are both surprisingly pretty good.

>>18050995
deep fry a bullet and eat it, retard

I refuse to eat the gweiloslop

You haven't had good Chinese food. HOWEVER, Taiwan has better food than China.

>>18051098
Taiwan is china.

>>18050883
As opposed to where? The Chinese takeout in California is the same as New York is the same as Florida is the same as Kansas

>>18050898
This is another one of those weird pastas that guy spams right

>>18051017
Whats the difference between bong chinese and american

AMERICAN chinese, hell yeah! Lo Mein, Scallion Pancakes, Eggrolls, Kung Pow chicken, Tangerine Beef, the best!

>>18051131
not an argument

What's the best oil to use with my new high powered wok burner?

>>18051408
British Chinese food is basically just Hong Kong Chinese food. I guess that anon really dislikes Cantonese food. American Chinese food is way more influenced by, well, any other part of China, but particularly Fujian/Taiwan.

>>18048584

>Americanised Chinese is the best in the world.

At least be honest when you post, OP.

Do you like Chicken feet, pork arse-holes, and other such things?
No, you like the sanitised American version, don't you.

>>18050883
Mainly New Yorkers

>>18050893
Ahh, it's this faggot again......
America "fixed" nothing but making it into a greasy, high calorie POS.
Just like American cheese copies.
The sooner you stop coping and realise I am right, the better off you will be.
This from an ex-pat American, living in Liechtenstein.
Wait, don't know where that is?
I bet you don't have a passport either.

>>18051017
Imagine posting all this shit and expecting people to believe it.
Shit like this doesn't get anymore "shut-in American" than this.
Your mother hasn't thrown you out of home yet, has she?
She should, it will teach you a real life lesson.

>>18052398
>American Chinese food is way more influenced by, well, any other part of China, but particularly Fujian/Taiwan.

Jesus you clowns are full of shit, most of the American Chinese, like the rest of the world is
based upon Cantonese cooking.

People in the USA still eat pig's feet and stuff like that too. It comes from a time when people couldn't let any part of the animal go to waste. Chicken feet aren't even that bad.

>>18050228
lel this is clearly a guy LARPing or a self-hating HK diasporoid (putting money on the self-hating HK diasporoid)

why is the chinese cuisine pasta filtered here anyway? i see the japanese cuisine pasta spammed in every thread so why is it ok then

>>18050898
>Non-mainland faggot here

Literally only Cantonese cuisine is good anywhere west or north of Guang song is shit. Fuck you you mainland hick

>>18052673
You know how general tso's chicken is Taiwanese? And panda express started with a guy from Jiangsu? That wouldn't happen in the UK. Almost every single Chinese immigrant to the UK is from Hong Kong because of the citizenship deals we gave them. It's not a question of being special, it's just history.
Anon is right; this boy is mad.

>>18052807
No way, gotta be an international school compound kiddy

DUDE what if, *GET THIS*, what if…

We got all the dogs, beat them over the HEAD with a BROOM and fry them in a wok with MSG. It’s like your ordinary family pet BUT, it’s also a carcinogenic meal!

And get this, GET THIS. Instead of using cooking oil, we gather raw sewage and skim the oil off the top for free! It’s like your standard cooking oil, BUT it’s toxic and FREE!

steamed fish is as simple as you can get
>freshest white meat fish you can find, preferably whole(with head, bone in and all)
>minced ginger
>fried garlic
>coriander
>light soy sauce
>sesame oil
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over fish, cover with minced ginger. Let sit for a while before steaming for max infusion. After steaming, top off with the fried garlic and coriander. That's an authentic chink household dish there, you can't go wrong with it. Just remember to watch for the bones, or just use a de-boned fillet if you're not used to it.

Watching this fag has opened my eyes to so many awesome looking noodle dishes that are hard to find in the states
Why aren't chink restaurants adding this kind of stuff to their menus?

What I remember about Chinese food as a young kid growing up in Hong Kong was not really that it was “bad” (which it often was, of course) but that the stuff my parents ordered for us was almost all frozen, and that I would generally throw out whatever that they brought home. This was in the days before a proper kitchen, and there was a tiny freezer unit that could only hold what was on the top shelf, and often that was some random combination of Chinese or Indian takeout. A couple of times a week we’d have what seemed like the best of everything, but the rest of the time it was pretty terrible: a frozen piece of some meat and whatever was frozen with it, a tub of rice, and maybe a can of green peas, and maybe a can of baby corn. There was a few times in my childhood when we were treated to something really good, like fresh fish that one of the waiters brought home in a plastic bag. So for my first couple of decades, I never actually ate a lot

i could see pic related taking off though. it's basically fried chicken with peppers, its really good if done right. bad versions aren't crispy enough.

>>18054176
That's my favourite dish. It's readily available at (sichuan) chinese restaurants though, so hasn't it taken off?

I thought Chinese were supposed to be good at this whole business thing.

I fucking love dim sum /ck/ bros. My favorite place started dim sum service again but they cut their seating in half and added the tables to the regular dining section. Also they got rid of the carts and everything is cooked to order through an app. I guess the food is fresher but god damn I miss the carts bros

>>18054438
All of the chinese restaurants in my victiny are utter shit.
Portions are small and taste disappointing
Those fucking cheesy beef skewers are a fucking joke.
They choose the worst possible cuts of pork, the gross chewy ones.
The vegetables cooked on the wok are not just hard as fuck but sticky as wellthus they're a pain in the ass during and after eating them.
They put chili peppers in the wok as well, spicy alright but inedible, can't fucking chew them, they're burnt beyond repair, it's like eating plastic.

Is it just bad luck and there are decent chinese resto out there? Or I am right and it's the worst fucking cuisine?

>>18054202
>>18054195
make it yourself :D
if you want it crispier you have to deep fry multiple times, take the meat out->heat oil back up->repeat 3-4 times. much tastier if you slow cook the oil and add shallots and some veg (I used lotus root)
tried beef as well as chicken and chicken just works much better taste wise i think

>>18051017

Have you ever had real chinese food? It is much, much greasier than the americanized version
t. lots of chinese friends who cook for me

>>18055363

>>18055800
Deep frying is done separately i just do it in a pot because it's easier to control
i think peanut oil is the best but once the meat is done it gets added to a wok with everything else at the end

>>18055862
I feel like you could substitute anything in there.

>>18054176

here's an easy beginner soup with a cheat
>go to any asian grocery
>look in the soup ingredient section for a herb mix for a herbal chicken soup
>get some chicken, any cut, preferably with bone
>get other ingredients recommended on the back of the soup packet(usually some salt, red dates, goji berries and if you're feeling fancy, a dried oyster or two)
>pro-tip: add in a potato or a lotus root to make it more filling
>throw everything in a pot(or use a pressure cooker) with enough water to cover the soilds
>rolling boil for about an hour(or pressure cook with 13 minutes setting)

And you have a herbal chicken soup. Serve with rice or add in some noodles into the soup
Using a pre-made herb mix is fine and all, but if you know a good herb seller that is manned by someone who knows their stuff, just tell them that you what kind of soup/tea you're planning on making, they'll pick out the stuff and weigh them for you.

>>18054977
When I was three, every Saturday my dad and I would go to Chinatown and get a bunch of dim sum. I loved it so much. I love dim sum. When I have an actual job I'm gonna get dim sum every day. I wish Hong Kong wasn't getting dismantled.

>>18056160

>>18052794
Besides black """soul""" food, I've only seen chicken legs being used in broths or soups.

It's all right. I stay away from the stuff with too much broth because they tend to be odd and obviously don't try anything with strange meats, but salty dishes like the ones that use black bean and double fried shit and savory ones similar to mapo tofu tend to be decent.

I reside in Taiwan. The typical food here is absolutely disgusting. You have to go to a seriously good restaurant if you want non-disgusting Chinese type food. You can also go to "western" restaurants and pay ridiculous prices for spaghetti, or even more ridiculous prices for a steak. Or, you can cook at home, which is the easiest and safest option.

>>18051098
Dumbfuck, I've lived in Taiwan for most of the last 20 years, and the food here sucks. Random boiled intestines in so much spices that you can't taste the shit flavor of the meat, industrial waste oils substituted for food oil because the restaurant owner wants to save 3NT toward their next Mercedes purchase, mystery meat that might or might not have come from a pig farm but even if it did probably isn't pork.

I buy damn near everything I eat from Costco and cook it at home. If I go out, it's to one of the higher-end restaurants that isn't going to poison me too badly, and even then I have to pick one that doesn't serve godawful garbage.

I went to a duck restaurant once. I didn't know it was possible to ruin duck, but the Taiwanese found a way to do it. Inventive cheap motherfuckers, they are.

>>18052635
So much this.

>>18060917
>>18060906
Because Taiwan is china.

>>18048584
The best thing I've ever eaten was some duck at a chinese restaurant in vegas. My lips were so chapped that the sauce caused me pain with every bite but it was 100% worth it. I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant.

No that goes to the Italians amd the are French second

It's a world class cuisine, which has brought everlasting influence: Rice, Soy Sauce, Noodles, Tofu, Dumplings, Ma-La Peppercorns, Tea, yes.

It's fucking amazing, but it's isolation has prevented some development to be an all-round cuisine, esp in the areas of dairy, baked goods, and alcohol. Those are developing, and will see further growth.

>>18060917
Taiwanese is gross food; often fried shit. There's better Cantonese food.

>>18048584
I like Chinese food for the influence it has had, but I will say that the Koreans and the Japanese perfected it. Especially the Koreans that shit is amazing. Although tbf I have not really immersed myself in Chinese cooking to the same extent as Korean and Japanese cooking. I'm sure if I did I would find some amazing stuff
