Need some Chinese Food Suggestions since I always eat-"fried rice and egg rolls" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What other type of chinese food would you sugest that you feel is very tasty?

I want to step outside the Chinese Food Box and get something NEW for a change and not the same ole chicken fried rice and egg or shrimp rolls.

That depends, do you want to stay in the Chinese-American menu or venture into authentic cuisine?

I'm asking because the menus are totally different and I don't know what is available where you are.

Well just tell me something you ate and enjoyed and I will see if it's on the menu that's in front of me.

Ok...

Chinese American - Most of the popular soups are Wonton and Egg Drop. Try something different like maybe Hot and Sour Soup or Noodle Soup.

I like General Tso's and Sweet and Sour chicken
Chicken lo-mein and Chicken chow-mein
Fried dumplings
Boneless ribs
Fried duck
Shrimp Toast

Traditional - Chinese wonton soup is good as well as shark fin soup. Shark fin soup is VERY expensive and is considered a luxury.

Frog legs - If they are available where you are these are great.

Congee - rice porridge

Mapo doufu - tofu, meat, and sauce

Fuqi feipian - sliced beef

Shuizhu - water boiled meat in vegetable oil

What does your "usual" consist of? If I knew it was "urgent" I'd have made sure to reply sooner.

Orange Chicken is my favorite. I also like crab puffs.

Yooch · 03-15-2009, 09:03 PM

Well, I'm with you regarding egg rolls and fried rice, but other Chinese food choices which I like are:

Broccoli Beef--(Specify to what degree of hotness you want it though) If you don't like it to spicy, tell the waiter, etc.

Mongolian Beef

Sweet and Sour Pork

Beef Chow Fun--Sort of a beef, noodle and veggie combo

Pot stickers--Are really good, too.

Boneless spare ribs

Fried Dumplings

General Tso's Chicken

Chow mein

Doodyville10019 · 03-15-2009, 09:39 PM

I personally love Chow Mein. I also love Chow Fun, which is a noodle dish served with meat (usually chicken, beef or shrimp) and very few vegetables.

Courtnee · 03-15-2009, 09:49 PM

General Tsos chicken is the best. As is Sesame chicken.
AND PEANUT CHICKEN.
