About to order a chinese

And are salt and pepper chips worth getting?

Never had them before but I read a thread on here about someone ordering them.

It’s just me and the kids tonight and I was wondering if the kids will like them or just to get normal chips Blush

They’re overpriced but lush.

Elfieishere · 18/12/2020 17:56

£2.60 for what I presume is a small bag. Normal small bag is £1.90 so 70p more.

There so lovely and not super spicy or anything- but if I was sharing with my kids I would probably get plain to be honest!

Interested in this thread?

Love them if they are done right. Some places just chuck on a few pepper and spring onions and charge an extra pound

Bythehairywartsonmywitchychin · 18/12/2020 17:59

They’re nice. But I’d probably get normal ones as well just incase the kids don’t like them, then there’s more for me! 🤣

nancybotwinbloom · 18/12/2020 18:06

Yes they are so worth it.

If you get them report back if you liked them Grin

FrangipaniBlue · 18/12/2020 18:07

Hell yes!! Chuck a portion of crispy seaweed in your order too Smile

TinkersRucksack · 18/12/2020 18:08

Oh yes. Especially when garnished with a portion of salt and pepper chicken

nancybotwinbloom · 18/12/2020 18:10

We are ordering a Chinese now.

@nancybotwinbloom

We are ordering a Chinese now.
What are you having?

It’s only me and the kids tonight (9&7) so we have chicken balls, chicken fried rice, normal chips and I got the salt and pepper chips!

I will get the salt and pepper chicken next time if I like the chips.

@FrangipaniBlue - never had the seaweed? I just think if the stuff in the sea. I will get some to try next time!

Seaweed is likely to be deep bage but still quite nice

Mammyloveswine · 18/12/2020 18:21

Oh love salt and pepper chips! Wouldn't get anything else since discovering them!

misslomi · 18/12/2020 18:23

They're good but salt and pepper chicken is better!

Elfieishere · 18/12/2020 18:24

I just googled salt and pepper chicken from a chinese and that looks good! Think il get that next time aslong as I like the chips.

Iv decided every time I have a chinese I will order one new thing to try.

I would get the plain chips and just add salt and pepper to yours.

nancybotwinbloom · 18/12/2020 18:48

Seaweed is fried cabbage I think. I love it with sweet and sour sauce on it.

We've ordered

Quarter duck
Chilli crispy chicken (change from beef)
Salt and pepper chips obviously
BBQ ribs
Chicken fried rice
Curry sauce

nancybotwinbloom · 18/12/2020 18:49

@AdoraBell

It's not just salt and pepper it's onion peppers chillis and special salt and pepper seasoning.

They are lush.

WishITookLifeSeriously · 18/12/2020 18:53

Salt and pepper chips are the absolute shit! They're my favourite thing and a staple for us when ordering a Chinese takeaway.
They're also relatively easy to make at home.

Changedmynameagain1 · 18/12/2020 18:55

Seaweed is good, salty and sweet (it’s cabbage 🤣). I replicate it at home.
Salt and pepper chips are amazing if done right, however one Chinese delivered me chips with literal salt and pepper (seasoning) on , they were vile as I hate pepper.

Fingers crossed you get the right ones!

Changedmynameagain1 · 18/12/2020 18:55

Home bargains do a great Chinese salt and pepper mix for when you make them at home... it’s amazing!

MsChatterbox · 18/12/2020 19:09

My fave thing is black bean beef 😋😋. Also smoked chicken 😍

BorderlineHappy · 18/12/2020 19:11

I might
order something, as i was let down by going out tonight for food.

tshirtsuntan · 18/12/2020 19:17

They are amazing, pinch of nom have a slightly faffy but delicious salt and pepper chip recipe for "low fat" days but takeaway ones are the best Smile

RubbishQueen · 18/12/2020 19:18

I'm so jealous!

Elfieishere · 18/12/2020 19:23

Well this is what they look like...

No idea if that’s what they normally look like. They taste pretty good. I’d get them again and my son loves them.
