To ask for your Chinese order

[Forwardthinkinglobster]

Pretty certain that 99% of households order the same thing each time, and I’d like inspiration to branch out and become the 1%!

In my household:

Special chow mein
Chicken with ginger and spring onions
Crispy shredded beef
Egg fried rice
Seaweed
Veg spring rolls
Tub of satay sauce!

Sweet n sour chicken Hong Kong style
Prawn crackers
Special fried rice
Beef n peppers in black bean sauce
Veg spring rolls

King prawn and mushroom!

We always order the same too:
Crispy seaweed
special fried rice
bbq ribs in a bbq sauce
lemon chicken
crispy chilli beef

Then sometimes we get:
large pancake roll
prawn balls with sweet and sour sauce
salt and chilli chicken / chips

Oooh you’ve made me fancy a Chinese now.

We usually order:

Chicken & sweetcorn soup with prawn crackers
BBQ or King Do Spare Ribs or chicken satay
Szechaun prawn/beef or chicken
Chicken or beef in black bean with green pepper

We always order too much. So last time we had large fried rice, chicken chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls (can never remember if that’s Hong Kong style or not!)

and fed a family of 5 comfortably!! They gave us free crackers and small veg spring rolls too!

DH is always a chicken chow mein with no onions and no MSG.

DC1 changes around a little but often has a chicken chow mein or sweet and sour chicken balls. Sometimes ribs.

DC2 is either sweet and sour chicken balls or sweet and sour king prawn balls but doesn't have the sauce.

I like to switch things around a lot more. My two favourites are either a beef curry and chips or a yung chow fried rice with no peas and with some gravy on top.

I also go through phases of liking satay, king po or garlic chilli sauce dishes. Usually with duck or king prawns or the special with all the meats.

Other times I'll have sweet and sour mixed balls but I'll change the sauce for a curry sauce or I'll have spring rolls or share a munchie box with curry sauce depending on who I'm with.

Egg fried rice
Crispy duck
Noodles with beansprouts

The same as most people, but also:

I have just got into bed and am now desperately hungry. I would give anything for even just one of these dishes at the moment

I am (like many others)

Sweet and sour chicken
Chicken chow mien
Salt and pepper squid
Crispy shredded beef.
Ribs with capital sauce (no idea what it is but it's lovely)

The first time I ever went to a 'posh' Chinese restaurant in London in my mid 20s I had stir fry chicken and cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce. It was possibly the post exquisite thing I had ever eaten. I have ordered it so many times restaurants since, and tried to make it at home but nothing ever comes close to that first time.

Enjoy your Chinese op!

Funny thing is, I'm on my own, as I close the door from delivery I shout 'food is here!' and then spoon a bit of each on a plate. The rest makes up about eight meals that I freeze plus a cold one for breakfast the next day.
