I absolutely love Chinese food. In fact, I eat it every chance I get. My favorite is sweet and sour chicken with some egg rolls. I don't know what it is, but chinese food is so comforting to me. You should have seen me when I was pregnant. I had to have it like every other day at least! Please share your favorites, or even recommendations. I should probally try something other then the sweet and sour chicken sometime! Thanks!

I like Chinese Food a lot too. Lemon Chicken is very nice, and I love the mixed starters with Spare Ribs, Wantons, Spring Rolls, Chicken Satay, and salad. I also like Pork Balls, in Sweet and Sour Sauce, with soft noodles. Yummy!

there was one time my friends and i ate at this chinese restaurant and it was buffet style so i made sure i stuffed myself. only i noticed that mostof the foods i ate were quite oily and most are salty. is chinese food really like that or did i just get into a bad restaurant?

Not all resturaunts are like that. I suggest you go to one that is not a buffet. It tends to be better quality. Sorry you had a bad experience, but you should try it again! Thanks for the response!

I'm not sure. I don't get to travel much. I'm stuck in good old Kansas in the U.S. I couldn't tell you. What you described though sounds like chinese food though.

As a chinese, I am so happy that you like our foods. And I think the food you mentioned must be that we call'chunjuan'--spring rolls . I don't know which kind of food I should recommend, because we usually cook and eat at home, and we don't name every meal we made. Maybe you can try this as following: Spicy Sliced Pork Ingredients: 250 grams (0.55 lb) pork tenderloin 1 egg white 1 gram (1/4 tsp) Chinese prickly ash 5 grams (1/6 oz) chopped ginger 10 grams (2 tsp) ground sesame powder from pre-baked sesame 1 gram (1/4 tsp) MSG 5 grams (1 tsp) spicy oil 10 grams (1 1/2 tsp) soy sauce 10 grams (2 tsp) soy bean paste 1 gram (1/6 tsp) salt 10 grams (2 tsp) sugar 5 grams (1 tsp) mixture of cornstarch and water 50 grams (3 tbsp) water 100 grams (7 tbsp) cooking oil Directions: 1. Cut the meat into slices 5 cm (2 inches) long, 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) wide and 3 cm (1.2 inches) wide. Put in a bowl. Add the salt and stir until mixture becomes sticky. Add the dry cornstarch and egg white and mix well. 2. Grind the Chinese prickly ash and put aside. Put the sugar, chopped ginger, soy sauce, water and the mixture of cornstarch and water in a bowl to make a sauce. 3. Heat the oil to 110-135:C (230-275:F) and stir-fry the pork slices until they are done. Take out and drain off the oil. 4. Keep 25 g (1 2/3 tbsp) of the oil in the wok. Put in the ground Chinese prickly ash and soy bean paste and stir-fry until they produce an aroma. Put in the pork slices and stir-fry until they change into a red color. Put in the mixed sauce. Add the spicy oil and sesame powder and mix well. Take out and serve. Features: Beautiful shiny. Taste: The pork slices are tender with a rich spicky.
