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?

@HaggieMaggie

Yes those ones

sapnupuas · 27/11/2020 19:03

Why have I never had these?

Someone post a photo quick!

Adventine · 27/11/2020 19:06

I’m really shocked there are Chinese’s out there that don’t do salt & chilli chips! No Chinese is complete without a few. Salt & Chilli chicken is fabulous too.

Word of warning. Never combine multiple Salt & Chilli dishes ... you’ll be dehydrated for weeks Grin

littlealexhorne · 27/11/2020 19:08

Not sure I've ever had salt & pepper chips actually from a Chinese, but we've recently discovered Iceland's salt & pepper chips and become obsessed, they're so good!

Lolapusht · 27/11/2020 19:09

Currently waiting for ours to arrive Grin

They are utterly delicious and highly addictive even when you get super chilli lips 🌶

Newbie1999 · 27/11/2020 19:14

I’m gonna have to order a Chinese now.

Pics and review please!

DeeandraReynolds · 27/11/2020 19:15

Pictures and review please Grin!

Dh is ordering curry as we speak... feel as if I should branch out and order something unorthodox now.

SilkyMoonfaceandTheSaucepanMan · 27/11/2020 19:17

I didn't expect to come back to so many replies, and what @nancybotwinbloom said, sorry fellow MNetters Grin
I'll simply have to order them again very soon for photo purposes, of course.

They were bloody delicious, and I had them with beef in black bean sauce and crispy seaweed.

Hot, crisp and covered in tonnes of red chilli pieces with spring onions.

@LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett I cannot apologise enough, how could I possibly make this better for you?

@mopphead, does this help you with your dinner choices?

I've never heard of these before but there seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for them and my god now I want chips.......

SisterAgatha · 27/11/2020 19:25

This was all I ate during my first pregnancy. We lived above a Chinese!

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 27/11/2020 19:29

@SilkyMoonfaceandTheSaucepanMan there is nothing you can do. Nothing. I have added you to my spreadsheet Grin

I'm actually thrilled you enjoyed them after a thread full of hype, but don't tell anyone, I have a reputation to protect.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/11/2020 19:31

That sounds amazing. Im regretting our fish and boring chips order now.

Serin · 27/11/2020 19:36

They are absolutely amazing. We call them salt and pepper chips where I live, rather than salt and chilli, but there is definitely chilli in them (and peppers, onions, 5 spice and MSG).
You can actually freeze them and reheat from frozen. I did this when we were given an extra 2 bags by mistake.

GwendolineMarysLaces · 27/11/2020 19:39

They are epic. Enjoy.

Uhtredswoman · 27/11/2020 19:41

Come back and update in the morning on how much water you needed to drink in the night 💦

laudemio · 27/11/2020 19:54

None ofmy local Chinese takeaways sell these Sad

nancybotwinbloom · 27/11/2020 19:55

@SilkyMoonfaceandTheSaucepanMan

Your my Chinese order twin!

My fave is salt and pepper chips, beef black bean and seaweed.

You need to get Sui mais now to top it off!!

nancybotwinbloom · 27/11/2020 19:57

@laudemio

Get yourself this.

Stir fry peppers (green and red) and chillis (green and red but not too hot) add onions and this.
