What should I order? Non negotiable is chicken chow mein, special fried rice and wonton soup.

Beyond those, I am open to suggestion. What should I order?

ALL the sides - must include sesame toast, peanut butter chicken on sticks, (dip sesame toast in peanut butter too), spring rolls, prawn crackers.
Main suggestion - Singapore rice noodles, beef in black bean.

happy birthday @AlpacalypseLlamaggedon🎈🍜
