I'm going to get Crispy Shredded Chilli Chicken, beef with tomatoes and mushroom foo Yung.

Oh and chow mein. Plain.

Some peking ribs, king po chicken, Singapore chow mein and some shredded duck 😋

SquigglePigs · 19/11/2025 22:27

We got one tonight! Split beef in oyster sauce, satay chicken, egg fried rice and vegetable pancake rolls. And a few free prawn crackers of course!

We often have sticky chilli beef but I didn’t fancy it tonight.

Sesame prawns on toast
Deep fried squid with chilli
Noodles with beansprouts (for me)
Sweet and sour pork with egg fried rice (for dh)

Hugely unhealthy of course but it's a treat and it costs so much, we aren't ordering any healthy stuff on top!

I've had beef bourginnon and cheddar mash. It was lovely.

Enjoy your Chinese. I only ever have King Prawn Chow Mein and douse it with Kikkoman Soy Sauce when I get home. Or I have Duck Curry and Egg Fried Rice.

Sweet sour chicken balls
Chicken in black bean with green peppers
Ribs of some description
Singapore chow mein
Plain chow mein
Egg fried rice

Bbq sauce

I prefer Indian Takeaway.

ZenNudist · 15/01/2026 18:41

Spring rolls loads of them
Retro battered pork balls and luminous pink sweet and sour sauce (or I'll settle for normal pork sweet and sour)
Egg fried rice
Some chicken and sweetcorn soup

SarahAndQuack · 15/01/2026 18:55

Crispy chicken in OK sauce
Tofu in black bean sauce
Prawn toast
Veg chow mein with cashew nuts

I miss my favourite takeaway where I used to live, where I'd get chilli fried squid, chicken with ginger and spring onion, and lovely soothing won ton soup. My local doesn't really do soups and it is a pity.

I also miss good sweet and sour chicken, with a proper amount of pineapple in the sauce and not just gloopy goo.
