Pretty sure you live near-ish me in Leeds. Please let me know where you got that from so I can avoid it in future. Cheers.

Nah, it's good mate. Photographs of curry never look anything but slop but this is very decent and I'm picky about the quality of my Chinese slop. It's from New Phoenix and Dragon in Pudsey.

Fuck it. Usual beef curry & egg fried. Half now with a bottle of Primitivo, half later. At least @Bjornebye can knock one out over this. 

That looks like my daily bowel movements.

I am another who doesn't get on that well with Chinese, possibly because of the blandness of vegetarian options. If all my mates are going I'll have a mushroom fu yung with curry sauce which is often pretty good. 

 

The one time I remember really enjoying a Chinese was at a more upmarket restaurant but have no recollection of what I ate. @Strontium Dog @Strontium

whichever you go by nowadays, interested to hear yoyr take as a fellow vegetarian but with very different tastes

[Kevin D]

Fried rice and spare ribs as the starter.

 

Spicy chicken wings and spicy king prawns as the mains, add noodles as necessary.

I go similar to this, but young chow fried rice with salt and pepper ribs. It’s super.

I feel like I've answered a similar question here recently. However I particularly enjoy tofu in black bean sauce with egg fried rice, with sweetcorn soup to start. The missus is neither veggie nor a lover of Chinese cuisine, but I have got her into Chinese mushroom curry with noodles, and that's nice too.

 

Also, for the foreseeable future I am Strontium, because when I changed my name temporarily to Sixtimes Dog, someone hilariously registered a joke account in my old username, so I can never go back to Strontium Dog unless someone with the power to do so deletes the spoofer.

Singapore vermicelli, salt and pepper chips and a carton of curry over the top.

 

Here's what I'm talking about sans the curry which was quickly poured over.

We don’t have Chinese that often.
 

Occasionally it seems like an excellent idea, but then afterwards we remember why we rarely have it. The wife would say similar about nooky with me, although would never have considered it an excellent idea in the first place.

 

Anyway, we had one last Sunday. I had Char Siu in a Szechuan Sauce with Salt and Pepper Sauce. It was enjoyable but I’ll probably have sex sooner than I have it again.

Chinese tea or Chinese coffee?

I wasn’t aware there was a “Chinese coffee” ? But Chinese tea is lovely.

I think there is, not sure, though its something me and my mates always mention wherever and whenever possible - it goes back to a late night after a Saturday match, then piss-up, we went for a Chinese, when one of our crew and not the cleverest of types ordered for his meal an extra portion of chips, an extra portion of curry and asked for Chinese coffee, as he didn't like tea. The waiter look bemused. 

 

Rice was laughed out through nostrils and people choked for about 10 minutes afterwards. 

 

 

Love Chinese Tea myself, cleans the pallet.

There's an excellent Chinese near where I live. Starter is usually salt and pepper wings then crispy beef in capital sauce and egg fried rice. Mrs RiB is veggie so its veg spring rolls then stir fry veg in black bean sauce with egg fried rice. And a couple of tsingtao to wash it down

Getting a good Chinese is next to fucking impossible. Water-injected meat, MSG-stuffed gloop, sugar fucking overload. Does my head in. 

And the state of the kitchen it's being cooked in.

[Remmie]

They do grow coffee beans in China, not exactly renowned for it but an up and comer

[Simbo]

I love a Chinese.

 

I usually start with Chicken and Sweetcorn soup, using the prawn crackers as a spoon.

Then it’s chicken in black bean sauce with egg friend rice, a side of sweet and sour chicken balls and also some chips and curry sauce (not your traditional Chinese cuisine granted).

Far too many mentions of chips in this thread. Fucking heathens.

Thanks. 3.4m from me. Next time I’m on Deliveroo, I’ll make a point to avoid it.

Yea, nothing to do with the Chinese. Get the noodles. I think curry is in the same boat - as stated earlier, if you want a curry go Indian.

 

Me at a Chinese place.

 

2 egg rolls.

2 more egg rolls.

1/2 serving house egg foo yung.
