i don't regularly purchase chinese food whilst in london, either because they taste awful or it is just too expensive, in central london in soho, the food is expensive. but i usually go for either fried beef ho- fun (thick noodles) or any seafood related rice/noodle dish, though i must say i am not a fan of spicy food myself

Sesame chicken, General Tso's beef, and Kung Po shrimp are some of my favorites. I also really like Japanese and Thai food.

I used to order like garlic or almond or cashew chicken. Which was kind of dumb anyway, because I don't like almonds or cashews. But now, I'm pretty much down to Vegetable Fried Rice, because I'm tired of the nasty pieces of chicken Chinese restaurants use. It's disgusting to bite into something that's all fat and grissle. puke: Same reason I only eat veggie egg rolls.

Occasionally I'll eat Mushroom Beef.

I don't order out Chinese I either eat it at the restaurant or we make a great rice e and vegetable stir fry at home with veggies from our garden. But when I got to the Chinese restaurant I usually order Egg drop soup wantons and either Shrimp fried rice or beef and broccoli

My usual take-out Chinese places are Panda Express and Ho-Ho's. My usuals are the low mein, orange chicken (since they have the little red chiles), pepper chicken, and sometimes the garlic shrimp. It depends what's available.

I don't really like the beef in Chinese food. It always has this funny aftertaste in my mouth. Yuck! I'm more of a fan of the chicken, fish, and shrimp.

I noticed that there were NO little red chiles in the buffets at the Las Vegas hotels. It's always available in New Mexican Chinese food. I also believe it's the same thing in Sweden when I tasted Swedish Chinese food. I can't remember too well. How is it like in each of your states? Or, countries, for some of you?

I don't recall ever seeing little chiles in the Chinese around here.

Pork fried rice without the veggies (love veggies but can't stand the peas, carrots and onion in the rice) and wonton soup.

of Chicken in Garlic sauce, twice cooked Pork, Egg Rolls, Fried Rice, and
Fortune Cookies.
