We decided that as we had been out all day we would have a takeaway....better than starting to cook . Anyway we decided on Chinese so we ordered .... Egg fried rice Chicken chow mein Special satay Chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce We got free prawn crackers with that. What do you order from a Chinese takeaway ?

Chinese is our absolute favorite ethnic cuisine and we tend to go a bit crazy when we order it. We get shrimp fried rice, shrimp lo mein, shrimp mei fun, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, pork fried rice, beef pepper steak or beef broccoli, General Tso's chicken or orange chicken. Sometimes we'll get fried scallops. It's just good eats and usually sets us back about $70. lol

@Traceyjayne Yikes. I love shrimp. I'd hate to be allergic to them. As for crab Rangoon, it is basically a crispy, deep-fried wrapper (I think wonton) filled with crab meat, cream cheese, scallions and other seasonings. It's DELICIOUS!

Usually a pork lo mein, steak and pepper over fried rice, and hot and sour soup as our go-to meal for Chinese. Now you have me wanting some!!!

I love the Crab Rangoon and Orange Chicken. It's been over a year since I've had Chinese. I'm due!

Never heard of crab Rangoon . Just checked the takeaway menu ... Nope not there ! Sounds interesting though.

That a great order. Fried rice, spring rolls, dumplings, and talumein soup make the perfect Chinese takeaway meal for me.

Normally I order the Springfield-style Cashew Chicken and Pretty orders the same. We get fried rice with it and Pretty takes my rice.
