What do you fancy? I'm paying.

I'm having crispy beef with garlic and chilli, fried rice. Can of Coke. Maybe a spicy chicken spring roll (these come in portions of two so one of you can have the other if you like)

Should I order a portion of salt and chilli chips for the table?

@Waitwhat23
The prawn crackers being fried look like they're coming aliveShockGrin

Imissmoominmama · 05/04/2021 18:15

May I have a portion of salt and chilli tofu, some noodles and bean sprouts and a pot of curry sauce please?

Thanks ever so much for this! Grin

LatteLoverLovesLattes · 05/04/2021 18:15

I'm vegetarian, so could I please have shares with another veggie. I'll try anything, or a mushroom chow mien and some mini spring rolls.

Oh & deep fried ice team & banana fritters? I haven't had either in years!! My friends Dad used to make us deep fried ice cream. SO good. Sadly he hasn't been well & cant naje his own toast anymore, let alone anything else 😢

But I'll be there at 8:30. I'll bring some... prosecco/good quality cider! (And my pillow👍🏻🤗)

Interested in this thread?

City commuter - Tereseta has it right. I had to google to check I wasn't making up food items 😂 prawn toast is yum.

IHaveBrilloHair · 05/04/2021 18:36

Prawn toast is a staple, even supermarkets sell it.
It's delicious.
I've not ordered it so will be stealing a piece or 3 or someone else's, you can have a bit of my pancake roll.

Waitwhat23 · 05/04/2021 18:38

@IHaveBrilloHair ooh, I'm even more intrigued now!

You should try to make it Smile it won't be exactly the same - but maybe that's a good thing. It can still be really nice and a link to your past that you can have moving forward Thanks

Oh god, WHY did I read this thread?
I had to stop eating certain all my favourite foods to get rid of pre-diabetes a few years ago... really went for it and lost four stone (!) and have actually so far (couple of years) stayed that way.

But I cannot resist this so here I go, off down the slippery slope... Grin

You're very kind, OP, and I would like:

Salt and pepper prawns
Chicken Satay
Duck and black bean sauce
Special fried rice
Chicken and cashew nuts
Seaweed
Sweet and sour chicken
Some kind of noodles

And a Diet Coke! GrinGrinGrinGrin

Thank you OP!

Bellaphant · 05/04/2021 18:47

Can I split some roast duck with any sort of veg with anyone, pork fried rice, some satay chicken skewers and a ton of sweet and sour chicken balls?

linerforlife · 05/04/2021 18:48

I am breastfeeding and ravenous so please can I have some sweet and sour chicken balls, special fried rice, satay chicken and prawn toasts? I will share of course.

DancingInTheDaffodils · 05/04/2021 18:51

Prawn toast and hot and sour soup for me please.

I always get the same main as I love it, so as there's so many of us and we'll pretend COVID is no more I will dip into everyone's and see if I can get a new favourite. I will provide the drinks in return Grin

Sidesaladofchips · 05/04/2021 18:51

Prawn toast is the toast of the Gods.
