my nigga

I usually switch between General Tso's chicken with shrimp toast, or General Tso's shrimp with fried dumplings. Pretty good.

Usually general tso's chicken or sesame chicken. Sometimes spicy orange beef or mongolian beef. One of the places near my house also makes an awesome BBQ pork lo mein.

I tend to get either fried dumplings or some crab rangoons with it as well.

General Tsos always makes me constipated as fuck, anybody know why that could be? Is it the corn starch?

>>4970057
Singapore fried noodles
Szechuan chicken
Salt and chilly ribs

Chicken kung pao + fried rice + egg roll. Usually comes in a combo platter for like $6.00.

Twice cooked pork or Hunan pork or mandarin beef
Chicken fried rice
egg roll
sometimes shrimp toast, because fuck yeah shrimp toast

Orange Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Sesame Chicken
Crab Rangoons
Egg Rolls

My takeout orders usually consist of a combination of two or three of the above with white rice. I don't know why, but I really only do chicken when it comes to Asian / Americanized Asian food. Maybe I should branch out a little.

I'm Singaporean and I've never seen "Singapore Fried Noodles" on any menu here ever lol

Boneless spare ribs with pork fried rice or
Roast pork and broccoli with pork fried rice With crab ragoons and fried wontons

Szechuan chicken stir fry, dry garlic spareribs, chicken fried rice, chicken balls and an egg roll.

Whenever I move to a new town, I case all of the available chinese restaurants. I used to live literally down a hill from the best one I've found in this city - but had to move for work.

If I can't go to that restaurant, I usually try and try something new each time; but my old standby is chicken fried rice and chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce. I'll roll the balls of deep fried grease around in the sauce, then roll them through the rice and chew at them like that.

I'm so fat.

I find ordering the Mongolian Beef is a pretty good indicator if I'll like anything else on the menu at a Chinese place. Either that, or anything labeled "House Special."

Side dishes include potstickers and some kind of fried rice. BBQ pork fried rice, if they have it.

Bullshit. I was in Singapore a while and it's everywhere, just under a different name. Why would it be called "Singapore noodles" in Singapore? It's like in America, American football is just called 'football' and in China, Chinese food is just called 'food.'
It's called Chinese bee hoon in Singapore, if I'm not mistaken?

combination fried rice
wonton soup
combination singapore noodle (with those thick noodles if they got them)

Beef and broccoli or pea pods, whichever they have
Steamed dumplings
Wonton soup with roast pork
Pork fried rice

I never get takeout by myself; only with either family or friends. My mom and I both love to get takeout from one spot in town that's a bit nicer, and I usually spring for their garlic chicken, which is nice and spicy with steamed veggies. If I'm with friends, we head to the spot that's not quite as nice, but is a lot cheaper and gives you a shitload of food. We generally get a few orders of General's chicken and a few crab rangoons and it pretty much lasts the whole night.

if i get chinese takeout from my local cantonese joint i usually just get whatever siu mei i feel like and cook rice and greens myself for a fairly complete meal

sometimes i get containers of the house broth as well

Orange chicken and fried rice my old friend

>>4970057

there's a chinese place across from my boyfriend's old place and the little chinese woman that runs it makes literally the best sweet and sour pork i have ever had. That with a side of lo main and a spring roll. Amazing.

fried rice with vegetable and tofu
tofu and vegetable in szechuan or hunan style sauce

that's pretty much it.

From the cheap takeout place: General Tso's combo, with fried rice, and two egg rolls

From the expensive restaurant: General Tso's, egg rolls, and some spicy tuna sushi.

From the buffet: General Tso's, Beef & Broccoli, Chicken on a Stick, fried rice, Cashew Chicken, and some of those rolls with sugar on them.

I fucking hate disgusting chinese takeout.

Hot and sour soup
Green pepper beef
steamed rice

Someone else order some sesame chicken so I can have a couple pieces. God damn disgusting shit..

>>4970057
Sweet and sour pork erry time

then whatever else

General Tso's Chicken
Beef Lo Mein
Pork Fried Rice
Sweet & Sour Chicken
Orange Chicken
Crab Rangoon (This is a must)
Fried Dumplings
Egg Rolls if I'm in the mood

This is the ultimate Chinese takeout and will feed many people happily (or a few fat fucks like me)

>hunan two step
>dragon and phoenix
>spicy pork lo mein

Also weird seasonal shit off the secret asian menu.

Singapore noodles, aka house noodles aka curry noodles. (Name depends on restaurant.)

i get the singapore noodles. shit's cash.

i also get either crab rangoon or pot stickers as a side.

sometimes i just get mixed fried rice. fried rice is so GOAT.

All the canadians rave about lemon chicken. So I order it... bland.

If I'm going for westernized chinese I tend to get
sweet and sour chicken balls
orange beef/or sichuan dry beef
shrimp fried rice
hot and sour soup
2 egg rolls

IF I'm getting dumplings from a dumpling place
shao lung bao
pan fried lamb and carrot dumplings
shrimp shumai
pan fried pork and chive dumplings
I then dip them in black vinegar mixed with soy, chili, and smashed up sichuan peppercorns

>>4970057

Chicken with Garlic Sauce
Broccoli with Garlic Sauce
General Tso's Chicken
Chicken with Broccoli
Eggrolls
Wonton Soup
Hot and Sour Soup
Chicken or Vegetable Lo Mein
Cashew Chicken
Mongolian Chicken
Hunan Chicken
Cilantro Chicken
"Happy Family"

Pretty much all chicken dishes. Pork is tolerable but I avoid shrimp and beef because they're so easy to fuck up and ruin the texture of the meat. Honestly the meat isn't even high on my priorities, vegetables are one of my favorite parts about chinese food but I still want some meat with whatever I'm getting.

>>4970057

safe bets:

orange chicken, beef and broccoli, fried pork+sweet and sour sauce, egg drop soup (my fav) fried rice

Adventurous bets:

egg rolls, cashew chicken, lo mein noodles, sweet and sour soup, wantons

questionable bets:

crystal anything, particularly shrimp, paper/tinfoil wrapped chicken, potstickers/dumplings

Also, what happened to chinese restaurants? I don't see them around anymore? Is it because of 'war with china' or 'hurr durr dont eat noodles/msg/carbs/rice/pork?'

I liked chinese restaurants a lot because they serve tea and hot soups, and have hilarious, but friendly servers

I dislike take out, so so much. Would much rather eat at a buffet. Once me and a room mate ordered takeout and then they started divying up the main courses. I was like oh hell no, cause they ordered something really shit I couldn't eat. Problem was there was only two of us. That strategy would work better had there been more of us, or more main dishes to divide up.

They rent mall space. They aren't stand alone buildings anymore with pizzahut roofs.

I don't get take out but I do go to Chinese restaurants quite often with my family. We order a combination of these (always 1 soup and one starch + 1 or 2 other dishes):

won ton
war won ton
hot and sour soup

crispy house special chow mein
bbq pork and shrimp chow mein
seafood chow mein
pork and shrimp fried rice

kai land with oyster sauce
vegetables (buddha style)
lemon chicken
sweet and sour chicken balls
sweet and sour pork
curry chicken
beef and broccoli
ginger beef
spicy spareribs
garlic and honey spareribs
bbq pork with broccoli
eggplant and pork hot pot

crispy egg roll

mothermcfucking sesame chicken

if it's done right, so it's fiery spicy and sweet at the same time

oh my fucking god that is some heavenly ass shit

Seriously? No love for Ma Po Tofu?

>>4970137
Probably the grease.

>>4970057
i dont know if you can get this in the US but mapotofu is my favourite chinese dish

http://www.cityweekend.com.cn/shanghai/articles/mag-sh/cover-story/chinese-cooking-101-mapo-doufu/

Sesame chicken, brown rice, crab Rangoon.

Fuck this shit. My favorite take-out joint is a 3 hour drive to the south.

>>4970096
>twice fried pork
Mah nigga

That and cold sesame noodles and some steamed pork dumplings. hngggg

usually get cantonese chow mein, sweet & sour shrimp, won ton soup, beef curry, dry breaded rib, and beef fried rice.

>go to chinese restaurant with friend and his kid because no sitter
>kid won't eat anything
>order him soy sauce chow mein
>kid eats 2 bites and stops and just eats white rice
Everytime I go with white people who have kids, the kids will only eat rice and soy sauce noodles. It's uncanny.

Sadly, op doesn't know that the container the chinese food comes in, breaks down simply into a serving plate, instead he/she soils an additional unnecessary dish.

>>4971929
I rarely get it because restaurants make a shitty version of it. I like to make my own at home.

>>4970057
something with duck

>>4972167
That's a lie. I've seen kids eat beef and broccoli with soy sauce.

>>4971929
Not from a takeout place.

>Pork fried rice with hot sauce packets
>"Chicken nuggets"
>Steak or Chicken taryaki
>Crab rangoons
and gotta have that duck sauce to dip shit in.

I have the unbelivably good fortune to have a god-tier chinese place right accross the street form me.

I'm not particularly adventurous when it comes to chinese, but I absolutely LOVE everything I've tried.

I like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein, Chicken Lo Mein, and their Chicken Noodle Soup is god tier. It's pretty much the broth you'd expect from something like wonton soup, with lo-mein style noodles and chicken. fuck i love this place. I'm actually going there for lunch today.

>>4972283

Type in Chinese food on Google it's like the 4th pic

>>4972283
Those black dishes are clearly the plastic containers the food came in.

Why isn't there chinese places with drive-throughs?

>>4970057
staples:
Shrimp or Chicken in black bean sauce
Dumplings
Pork Lo Mien

And I actually usually will try something I don't really recognize pretty often since there's a million Chinese places in the area. This one place used to have these amazing duck and pancake things but they went out of business.

Tso's, orange chicken, or sesame chicken
I like chinese chicken

>>4973451
No, you like syrup

Fried rice, chicken soft noodles, cashew chicken (my favorite place makes this great Mandarin-style red sauce and yes, they even use real cashews unlike some places that substitute peanuts and still call it cashew chicken like I can't tell the fucking difference), crab rangoon. If they have it I'll order paper-wrapped chicken but a lot of the places that used to offer it around here either stopped or went out of business.

Big fan of beef and broccoli, double cooked pork, and chicken lo mein.

>not making your own

fuuuk, I'm going to a chinese buffet in around a month, stop reminding you prick.

Can someone actually describe Hot and Sour soup for me.
It sounds delicious but I've never actually had it.

I never really eat chinese food as I worked in a chinese takeaway for like a year and that slightly put me off the food. I've been craving it a bit more recently for some reason though, but that can usually be dealt with by cooking a quick and easy stir fry.

Always Crab Rangoon
Fried Dumplings
General Tso's or Sesame Chicken
I've yet to go to a chinese place that has bad crab rangoon. Some are mediocre, but none are ever inedible.

sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice.

Almost always a two-entree plate with orange chicken, general's chicken, fried rice (or noodles if it's an included side), and a rangoon. If I'm being a total faggot and going to Panda Express, I'll get their steak. Shit's pretty good.

>>4973594

The meager amount of experience I've had with hot and sour soup has taught me that its distinguishing feature is that it's salty as all fuck, but I probably just haven't had good hot and sour soup.

Chicken balls (Canada & UK only I think)
Crispy chili fried beef in Szechuan style sauce
Singapore-style noodles
Stir-fried beef in black bean sauce
Vegetable spring rolls
Crispy fried duck with pancakes & plum sauce etc.

Chicken (pork if I can get it) in garlic sauce
Hot Szechuan dumplings
Wonton soup
Donuts

90% of the time my wife and I get a container of honey chicken each (comes with pint of honey chicken, pint of fried rice and an egg roll)
An extra egg roll for me
an order of crab rangoon(6, 3 for each of us)
a pint of mixed lo mein (shrimp, chicken, pork) that we share.

The other 10% of the time we get the general tso's plate, same portions. $7.25 a plate with the 10% off coupons and everything else comes to a nearly perfect 22 bucks.

We don't get anything else unless we go into the buffet

Kung Pao Beef
Pork fried rice
Pork chow mein
and I used to get the beef skewer appetizer but apparently none of the Chinese places in this state, or area, serve them

There's a place near me that makes the most incredible ginger chicken. But I also like home-style bean curd, and pretty much any of the appetizers.
