I'm home alone for once tonight, so decided on wine and a Chinese(rare treat). I need help choosing what to have for just myself.

Ooo! We had Chinese last night, we got crispy shredded salt and chilli chicken, sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried rice, mini veggie spring rolls, chicken satay skewers and some salt and pepper chips.

It was far too much for two but absolutely delicious and I'm already drooling and thinking of getting another 😂

My standard order is:

Hot and sour soup (perfect in this weather)

Steamed mini-dumplings

Spring roll

Aubergine, broccoli and cashews in black bean sauce, with plain rice.

Enjoy whatever you treat yourself with!

Was just going to say this. All ours are closed for the weekend too.

KnottyKnitting · 21/01/2023 19:52

This is what we usually order as a family- too much for one person but the dishes we like:
crispy duck pancakes or mixed hor-deuvres
sweet and sour king prawns hong kong style.
crispy shredded chili beef
lemon chicken
special chow mein/ singapore rice noodles
egg fried rice

If I was on my own I would probably go for 1/4 duck, prawns and rice with the leftovers for breakfast!

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 23/01/2023 19:05

Love leftover takeaway for brekkie!

ComeTheSpringLobelia · 23/01/2023 19:07

I like wonton soup and kung pao chicken. Or a battered prawn of some sort.
