Craving for Chinese takeaway, what would you order?

Hubby doing a late shift. I am newly pregnant and craving Chinese food! What would you order? I don’t want anything with too many veg textures today as they are making me 🤢 at the moment. Need a really beige dinner as a one off treat!

What about chow mein? You could just have the noodles, meat & sauce no veg. Yummy . Congrats on your pregnancy.

Salt and pepper bean curd. It's about all I can have anyway as I'm vegan and they stick egg in everything else!

OldMrsHempstock · 09/03/2024 14:52

Another vegan here so not much help to you but we had a Chinese takeaway last night. I had tofu & green peppers in black bean sauce, vegetable rice noodles and seaweed.

Interested in this thread?

Combo starter (sesame prawn toasts, seaweed, spring rolls and spare ribs).

Prawns with ginger and spring onion and egg fried rice.

Now I fancy a Chinese!

Crispy chilli Cantonese chicken, sometimes it's called Cantonese style crispy chicken, with fried rice. Or if being really decadent we get a salt and pepper munch box.

Sweet and sour pork with egg fried rice and prawn crackers on the side. Delish.

Chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce, and fried rice chips and curry all in one tray.

I like a duck curry with spicy chips.

When I/we crave for Chinese we often order an Indian and when we crave for an Indian, we often get fish n chips, not sure why

SevenSeasOfRhye · 09/03/2024 15:09

Duck in plum sauce and some spring rolls.

Dotty2dot · 09/03/2024 15:10

Sweet and sour chicken balls and chips.

Singapore fried rice , sweet and sour prawn balls and possibly beef curry 😋

HAF1119 · 09/03/2024 15:16

Sweet and sour balls of some variety with rice or noodles. If really off veg then go for rice so you don't have a load of onion and bean sprouts mixed in the noodles!

Tintackedsea · 09/03/2024 15:18

Salt and pepper something. Prawns or squid or tofu are awesome but chicken would probably be fine too..

BeaLola · 09/03/2024 15:25

Definitely sweet & sour prawn balls , probably with chow mein,

Other options if not available

Prawn toast
Prawns with ginger and spring onion
Prawns with black bean sauce
Lemon chicken

Good thread!
some friends are coming over later and we’re having a Chinese.

I love it when we can order loads of different things and have a bit of them all!
hopefully satay chicken skewers, and Chinese style roast pork will feature!
