Vege spring rolls
Boiled rice
Chicken curry
Sweet and sour chicken balls
Kung po beef for DP
Chicken chow mein for me
Occasionally something like chicken with mushrooms or black bean for me as well.

No takeaways at the moment as I'm dieting but please all enjoy yourselves!

Deep fried chicken balls with sweet and sour dipping sauce - my favourite!

Salt and chilli tofu, noodles with bean sprouts and a curry sauce.

I want that now...

I used to live near a Chinese that was also a chippy. I used to either get chips with curry sauce and a battered sausage, or sweet & sour chicken balls, crispy chilli beef and a pineapple fritter for afters. Usually when places try to do too many things it's not great, but this place was amazing and incredibly cheap. It closed unfortunately

feelinhopeful · 22/06/2020 18:29

We always ask our Chinese to put one surprise dish in, that way we try something new and different each time!

Carolbaskinstiger · 22/06/2020 18:38

Our usual order is
Chicken curry
Sweet and sour pork

Salt and pepper prawns
Duck chow mien
Mushroom friend rice
And some chips for dipping in the curry

I'm really missing our decent Chinese restaurant. Only coping because I make a fantastic beef in chilli and black bean sauce. I have it most weeks.

InFiveMins · 22/06/2020 18:48

Always get chicken chow mien, chicken spring rolls, salt n pepper chips, and salt n pepper chicken. Amazing.

Sweet and sour chicken balls (would have Cantonese/Hong Kong style if balls not available)
Egg fried rice
Sliced chicken chow mein
Crispy chilli shredded beef
Salt and chilli prawns
Crispy seaweed

We recently tried salt and chilli (or it might have been salt and pepper) aubergine and it was incredible

MummaGiles · 22/06/2020 18:52

Crispy chilli beef and egg fried rice. Yum.

Lazydaisydaydream · 22/06/2020 18:55

Crispy shredded beef in plum sauce with egg fried rice.

But I prefer Thai.... I always get chicken Thai green curry and literally lick the plate clean! For some reason Thai take away is much more expensive than Chinese though!
