I’ve ordered pork fried rice and aromatic duck.

I’m eating it in bed while watching Grey’s Anstomy.

I’m actually cooking - Pinch of Nom’s pizza nachos. Just going in the oven.

WhateverMate · 27/10/2023 18:10

Just had dirty chicken.

6 piece bargain bucket (shared with DH), fries and coleslaw.

WaitingForSunnyDays · 27/10/2023 18:10

Just Chicken fried rice and Singapore noodles. Order going in now!

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 27/10/2023 18:11

Fish and chips here. I share a large one with dd1 14, but I reckon she could demolish a regular sized one easily. Dd2 doesn’t like fish, so it’ll be a burger or nugget meal for her.

Billyhargrovesmullet · 27/10/2023 18:11

Singapore chow mein, 1/4 duck with pancakes, salt & pepper chicken, salt & pepper chips, a portion of curry sauce and prawn crackers

connu · 27/10/2023 18:12

Egg rice
Plain fried noodles
Peking ribs
Beef chop suey

madameMscastle · 27/10/2023 18:13

Tonight im having a fish finger sandwich.

I never know what to have from a Chinese, i dont like anything spicy.
Always wanted to try something but dont like to waste it, if i dont like it.

SM4713 · 27/10/2023 18:16

We had Chinese last night.

Honey ribs
Salt and pepper calamari
Crispy chilli beef
Chicken with garlic and spring onion
Yakatori udon noodles
Thai chicken green curry

I cook plain rice at home, so don't buy it

PurBal · 27/10/2023 18:22

Mixed hors d'oeuvres
Char Sui
Crispy Seaweed
Vegetable chow mien
Crispy chilli beef
Hot and sour soup

DH and I disagree on rice. I think plain rice is a staple. He doesn’t so we have chow mien as a compromise.

DilemmaDelilah · 27/10/2023 18:23

@madameMscastle I don't like spicy either, but there's lots of stuff that isnt!
from my local (have to collect) chicken fried rice, plain chow mein, pork and beansprouts, crispy duck and pancakes. If not my local then not chicken fried rice as none of the others do it as well... Always a bit white and claggy, not really fried and tasty at all! Chicken chow mein instead - my local doesn't make good chow mein, there is always too much only slightly Chinese flavoured gravy.

Tontostitis · 27/10/2023 18:24

Prawn biriani chicken tikka patia, sag aloo, 4 poppadoms and a bottle of pilot

GymWanker · 27/10/2023 18:26

Not a Chinese fan (DH v disappointed about this) so we are having a big fat curry!

MeinKraft · 27/10/2023 18:27

Smoked crispy chicken and a beef chow mein 🤤

KissTheRains · 27/10/2023 18:28

Not tonight but if I have Chinese, it has to be:
Chicken Chow mein
Pot of sweet and sour sauce
Chips

Chow mein and chips on plate and covered in Sauce.. yumm.

Banana fritter for afters.

My daughter likes the prawn crackers, spring rolls and egg fried rice so she gets those. She turns her nose up at banana fritters for some reason..

Poniesandrainbows · 27/10/2023 18:28

I have egg fried rice, DH has chicken fried rice and we share a sweet and sour chicken balls

Bu22 · 27/10/2023 18:38

I’m very boring but my order is perfection to me 🤣

  • Chicken chow mien (not mad on it because it’s dry, more like a habit order!)
  • Veggie spring rolls
  • Egg fried rice
  • Chicken satay with about 3 extra pots of satay sauce which I pour all over the rice and chow mien

Great, now I want chinese… but I have already cooked persian style chicken skewers, saffron rice & salad.

What a night!!!!

Sounds like absolute bliss

Bertiesmum3 · 27/10/2023 18:41

Nothing!
I don’t like Chinese, I’d rather cook a nice Indian curry at home with sides

DilemmaDelilah · 27/10/2023 18:42

If I am visiting my daughter in Liverpool we go to Chinatown - so many delicious dishes! All sorts of things we can't get in our very provincial small city. It's one of the highlights of our visits to eat in one of the restaurants there. There is also a Chinese bakery down the road that has fabulous bao buns, amongst lots of other lovely things. Liverpudlian mumsnetters, I envy you.

Dinnerlady12 · 27/10/2023 18:44

Sitting waiting for a breast of chicken curry, fried rice and salt and chilli chips I'm starving it better hurry up.

Dinnerlady12 · 27/10/2023 18:45

It's here! They've gave us prawn crackers too.

Strokethefurrywall · 27/10/2023 18:48
