For me, that's a "no".

What's your Chinese go to takeaway order? I try to try different things but always return to same old.

1. Chicken and sweetcorn soup
2. Beef in black bean and green pepper sauce
3. Sweet and sour chicken
4. Steamed/boiled rice

That's usually good enough for a dinner and a leftover lunch the following day.

What's yours?

Cut the soup; just one main course (the beef one - or maybe chicken with the black bean stuff), and egg fried rice.

Crispy chili beef, egg fried rice and a portion of vegetable crispy rolls. Perfect for my taste.

Different rules for Chinese buffet though.

At those I ignore absolutely everything except crispy duck, pancakes, seaweed, spring onions, and pile my plate high.

I’ve actually been “cut off” before.

felt like Homer in that “all you can eat” episode

Follow up question: Do you use chopsticks or eat with fork/knife/spoon? For me, always chopsticks (except the soup obviously).

For two of us with a slight rota

Satay chicken
Salt and pepper Chicken
Beef Chow Mein or Roast Pork Fried Rice w/ extra egg
Crispy Shredded Beef / Lemon Chicken
Half portion of sweet and sour pork / chicken balls
Complementary prawn crackers

Different rules for a buffet though where starters and duck are king in my opinion

Same as the OP, occasionally try other things but usually gravitate to the same stuff. Often 4 of us, typically would be

Crispy chilli beef
Singapore noodles
Chicken chow mein
Lemon chicken
Sweet and sour chicken balls
Egg fried rice
King prawns with salt and chilli
Ribs

Damn. Hungry now.

All this apart from lemon chicken. Add seaweed instead

Not Andy Naylor · Thursday at 11:27 AM

Lemon chicken
Mixed vegetable chow mein
Egg fried rice.

Chicken foo yung maybe instead of the lemon chicken.

The best belated Chinese order I can give, is MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, there’s a f***ing TANK coming towards you!!!

Too soon?

BBassic · Thursday at 11:47 AM

I am a simple man.

Dumpling.
Satay chicken on skewers.
Crispy shredded chicken in chilli.

Every time. Sure, I could try something else but then, if I don't like it, I'll have wasted money.

If anyone says half n half they'll have outed themselves as Cardiff in Disguise.

Knife, fork and spoon. You would not want to try and eat special fried rice or mapo tofu with chopsticks, and even the Chinese don't.

My chopstick skills come out if we get sushi or go to Bincho.

Uncle Spielberg · Thursday at 12:02 PM

Singapore Fried Rice
Chicken in green pepper and black bean sauce
Chicken satay skewers
2 Spring rolls

Yes...

For f***'s sake now I want Chinese. You lot are bastards sometimes :lolol:

My other half isn't a fan, so I don't have it often and usually takeaway, not sit in. But my go tos are:
Mixed starters
Kung po king prawn or szechuan
Special fried rice

If I'm splashing out, add salt & chilli chicken or ribs, crispy duck, or get a set meal for 2, and that's 2-3 days food sorted. I'd rather the variety than one big dish with one big rice.

Or if I'm feeling drunk and dirty, a piping hot salt & pepper / neighbour munch box is a great end to a long away day:

Crispy duck with pancakes
Beef chop suey
Lemon chicken
Mixed vegetables
Sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style
Mushroom fried rice
Duck in barbecue sauce
Chicken/beef chow m

Not always ordered together unless it’s family Chinese night

Good Lord, that's the sort of quantity that Smithy from Gavin & Stacey would order.

Austrian Gull · Thursday at 5:07 PM

The starters are the best bit - prawn toast is top drawer stuff as are spring rolls and sweet and sour pork balls.
