To have ordered the same Chinese takeaway dishes for a decade?

[ComputerIsLoading]

We have a Chinese on average 5 times a year and every single times, for around a decade I have promised myself I will order something different..

Inevitably we end up ordering chicken or king prawn chow mien, chicken curry and rice sweet and sour chicken and mini spring rolls. On the odd occasions we have gone wild and had special fried rice and pancake rolls..

Tonight is the night to walk on the wild side.. please let me know your recommendations! I’ve looked at crispy beef but do I need to order rice with that? At 30 I’m still a Chinese takeaway novice!

We’ve just ordered crispy beef, salt and pepper chicken wings, bbq spare ribs, fried rice and prawn crackers. It’s a change from my usual lemon chicken!

Swap your chicken curry for a char siu pork curry...it will blow your mind and you'll never go back. My DH was eating chinese chicken curry for 20 years until I made him try it, I swear he fell in love with me right then!!

Yep. Crispy chilli beef and fried rice is one of my favourites

Yes you will need rice, crispy beef is nice, king pp chicken is my favourite, but a bit spicy. Bbq spare ribs are a winner, as is smoked chicken if they have it, or anything salt and chilli. Mixed starters would be a good one to try if your unsure.

We had a set meal last night that came with a 'Wandering Dragon'... chicken, prawns, and veg in a light sauce. It was quite nice.

Dont forget the prawn crackers.

Honey chilli chicken, Salt and Chilli Chicken, Noodles and Beansprouts. This has been my order for the last decade 😂

I very often get chicken with ginger and spring onion (yes, with rice). I sometimes have something else, but that's my go to thing.

We always have crispy chilli beef with rice and bbq spare ribs. Plus banana fritters for pud!

Kung Po Chicken or beef in black bean sauce are my favourites. Hot and sour soup to start. I’ve started ordering with noodles instead of fried rice for a change.

Chicken green pepper and black bean sauce 🤤🤤🤤

I NEVER vary either ... I get the fear just thinking about it...

Chicken Curry... til I die 🤣

My birthday meal of choice is crispy duck and pancakes. Char sui pork and bean sprouts is another favourite. I do love it when we go to visit family in a city with a proper Chinatown with more on the menu, then I get sui mai dumplings and bao buns, with greens and garlic. Yummy!

Chicken Chow Mein.
It's officially the sliced white loaf of takeaways.

No prizes for guessing my Indian takeaway

DH has been having sweet and sour king prawns, pancake roll and special fried rice every single time for 43 years.
😳

Chicken with cashew nuts
Crispy chilli beef(for OH)
Pork chow mein
Salt and chilli chips
Sweet and sour chicken balls
Prawn crackers

I'm always scared to order something new as well.

Bbq ribs. Crispy shredded beef in chilli. Honey chilli veg/chicken. Shredded duck pancakes

Go for duck - lovely with mushrooms or plum sauce or pineapple. I used to always order chicken with bamboo shoots & waterchestnuts & still love that dish. Also love Chinese style roast pork with chicken & BBQ sauce.

How do pronounce it I think half the problem is the phone anxiety!

Thank you all so much, I’m compiling a list and matching up the rice as we speak

Chicken and mushrooms with fried rice and prawn crackers. Been having that for about 30 years!

Duck in plum sauce with bean sprout.

Chicken Curry... til I die 🤣

my hand is shaking writing down the new options, daring myself to order them!

Beef and tomato, or sweet and sour chicken. Been the same for 30 years. I like them the best so if I am treating myself I choose something I really like.

I always have Singapore rice noodles and crispy seaweed on my order, but do add random things sometimes, you don't know if you don't try.
Tbf, I'll eat most things anyway.

Chicken with ginger and spring onion
Honey chilli chicken
Chicken with broccoli
Salt and chilli pepper chips
Egg fried rice
Sometimes soft noodles
Prawn crackers
Fried rice chips and curry sauce

Those are my go to items always.
