To blame you all if my Chinese takeaway is ruined?

Have just ordered our dinner, and included the salt and chilli chips for the first time ever, purely based on all the threads that rave about them Grin

I had always assumed that they were just on the menu to satisfy the
unadventurous diners, along with omelette.
However I was reading old threads few weeks ago, and lots said otherwise.
I've been waiting for our takeaway night to test it, and now here we are.

Chinese food fans, how do you rate these chips? Are they really different to chippy chips? How so?

I had mine an hour ago Smile

Well we actually get the salt and chili shredded chicken to share between us to go with our mains. It is amazing.

TheSpottedZebra · 27/11/2020 18:39

Would they go well in a butty?

Omeara · 27/11/2020 18:40

I’ve never had chips from the Chinese, I’m obviously missing something!

kleew1 · 27/11/2020 18:41

Love them. Not often we get a chinese but if we do we ALWAYS get them. They even do salt and pepper munchie boxes where we stay

AlCalavicci · 27/11/2020 18:42

Ohh I like them too but only from one of the two local chippy that sell them , the other ones are always way to salty .

Sat waiting for photo and review . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 27/11/2020 18:43

I’ve never had them, but I know I definitely want some!

Elfieishere · 27/11/2020 18:43

Are they spicy?

nancybotwinbloom · 27/11/2020 18:44

@Changedmynameagain1

They are fucking boss aren't they Grin
With a dip like curry sauce or seeet and sour. Or my favourite black bean sauce.

nancybotwinbloom · 27/11/2020 18:44

Op has seen them, smelt them snd ate them. There is no pic lol.

AlCalavicci · 27/11/2020 18:45

@TheSpottedZebra
Chips + spice + bread what's not to love ! Yes they go well on a buttie.
My local also does S&P chicken wings

HaggieMaggie · 27/11/2020 18:45

do you mean like salt and pepper chips and they have bits of peppers and onions and chilli on them?

Procrastatron · 27/11/2020 18:48

How funny, I am about to do the same having read about them on here. Ours are described as salt and hot pepper chips though. I’m newly veggie so am opting for a veg curry on the side... unless people have better idea?

Napqueen1234 · 27/11/2020 18:49

Salt and pepper chips are THE ONE! Let us know if it was worth it!

Nymeriastark1 · 27/11/2020 18:51

Please do let us know! I've never tried them Grin

Placemarking for the review

AlCalavicci · 27/11/2020 18:52

@doctorhamster , yes ( or at least I do ) chips ,+ small bits of usually green pepper + spring or ordinary onions + chillis ( not chilli sauce ) and salt.

Uhtredswoman · 27/11/2020 18:52

We had these last weekend with crispy duck and prawn crackers...divine at the time but the secret ingredient is DEFINITELY MSG!!

MummytoCSJH · 27/11/2020 18:53

I don't know why I clicked on this thread I'm starving and now it's a million times worse Grin

S111n20 · 27/11/2020 18:53

Oh my they are so tasty 😋

lolbrador · 27/11/2020 18:55

I've just ordered the salt and pepper munchy box. It feels like Christmas Eve

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 27/11/2020 18:55

Well. Given I let DH choose between Indian and Chinese AND promised that I wouldn't moan about his choice AND he's chosen Indian so I can't have salt and chilli chips... You are clearly being massively U. You are the U-est Mumsnetter in the history of Mumsnetting. I bloody love those chips.

mopphead · 27/11/2020 18:56

Am just deciding what we are having for our take away so hurry up with that review Grin

Coffeeisnecessary · 27/11/2020 18:58

I did the same last night and they were delicious!! Felt so wrong ordering them though!!

GameSetMatch · 27/11/2020 18:59

We’ve just had a Chinese so I’m currently on the gaviscon! We didn’t have any chips but ordered a salt and chilli king prawn, it was delicious!

Thehop · 27/11/2020 18:59

My 11 year old always orders salt and pepper chicken with salt and pepper chips and curry sauce 😂
