I know this has been done to death, but still - humour me!
I’ve been ill all last week and over the weekend, the fridge is looking bare, so DH suggested Chinese tonight Grin I love him even more for making such an epic decision Grin
We usually order the same things every time, so interested to see what’s your favourites? Maybe I’m feeling dangerous and fancy mixing it up a little Grin

Singapore Noodles
Chicken Satay Skewers

Lemon Chicken and Egg fried rice for DD

Ideally mixed hors d'oeuvres and crispy duck as well but it always seems a bit too indulgent.

Anyway back to my favourite topic. I adore Chinese food. If we have people over then we order lots of meals and all tuck in. When it's just the four of us we tend to get one meal and a few sides.
Chicken satay
Chicken and black bean sauce
Salted chilli chicken
Honey chilli chicken
Duck in orange sauce
Chicken chow mien
Special fried rice
These are all my faves.

hippoherostandinghere · 18/03/2019 20:31

Sorry Rufus. My bad. Always was a teachers pet.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 18/03/2019 20:32

I was that flustered Grin
