dim sum/yum cha are an Australian creation.

Of course. It's a fucking fried dumpling made by a Chinese expat. It's still an Australian dish. Only the fucking absolute lowest of bogans would consider dim sim to be "Chinese food"

I've never eaten american chinese, but from what I've seen it's a lot nicer than australian-chinese food. General tso's looks amazing.

common australian chinese dishes:

HONEY PRAWNS which are deep fried prawns coated in a sweet sauce rolled in sesame seeds

BIRD'S NEST which is basically what you americans have as chop suey on top of a basket of deep fried noodles because westerners love crispy things. Not to be confused with the delicacy made from swallow's spit

LEMON CHICKEN which is basically just battered chicken deep friend and covered in a sickly sweet yellow lemon sauce

MIXED ENTREE which is deep fried dim sims, spring rolls, prawn toast and other similar things piled onto a plate

This blog entry is a pretty good rundown

http://half-eaten.com/2012/10/poonami.html

I've heard of some stuff being served out at country chinese restaurants too like CHICKEN MARYLAND which is pretty much a schnitzel of a maryland. Another weird thing i've noticed is restaurants here will often be chinese/malaysian, even if all the staff are straight cantonese chinese.

at 'chinese' restaurants out in rural areas you can still get chips with your meal. The 'phantom menu' used to absolutely be a real thing, and a lot of places serving australian-chinese fare would have a few select dishes of THE TRUE for actual chinese people. White people love dumplings here but probably still don't engage with the rest of srs chinese cooking all that much.

When you go out to actual chinese ppl zones the food is pretty good, even down to restaurants serving regional styles, etc.

check this out tho, i was eating out with relatives last night and they ordered sweet and sour pork and lemon chicken, even though the restaurant we were at is well known for winter comfort foods like snake soup and claypot rice

I can't figure out if they were ordering stuff to suit me and my girlfriend's western palates (lol) or if they're just dishes they eat a lot, because one of my cousins was praising the lemon chicken ????

unrelated but the chicken/salt fish/tofu hotpot was one of the best things i have ever eaten dear god

It'll never happen. Captchas can't be gone, it's one of the only things that prevents advertisements and spam from flooding the place and a lot of others. Apparently it's a necessary evil.

As for the hot peppers, I find Chinese stuff to have less of a picante, which is heat from chiles because they always use dried red peppers. I've never seen a Chinese restraunt use fresh ones such as Thai restaurants do.

I ordered that Szeszuan beef at a place called Keh Weh Yoh (I think) on 56th street between 5th and 6th aves in NYC, my mom brought me there for lunch once. I ate one bite and was like wow! Then after the burn went away went back for more, and more! That was good stuff. Then it advanced from there learning about Thai places and buying my own chile peppers and making my own stuff.

idiot. chaufan is a hispanicized spelling of fried rice and they make it different down there than elsewhere. that's why it's Peruvian Chinese and not Chinese. it's about as Chinese as Australian dim Sim which is to say only by a stretch.
