Moo Goo Gai Pan kicks ass, people normally avoid it cause they have no idea, and its one of the best and healthiest choices on the menu. It's chicken and chinese veggies and mushrooms in a light sauce, very nice over some white rice.

Spring rolls kick ass, not as heavy or oily as egg rolls.

Dim Sum also kick ass.

Grand Marinier shrimp, kinda heavy but sweet jesus is that stuff good.

Lobster cantonese kicks ass.

House special wonton soup w/shrimp & chicken also kicks ass.

Chinese food, in general, kicks ass. I love this cuisine! Too bad most of this chinese food isn't even traditional. A fraternity brother of mine was born in china and grew up in hong kong and scoffs when he sees what Americans call chinese food. But, ignornace is bliss in this case.

ladybug1116 02-14-2002 01:04 AM

NinjaPoodle 02-15-2002 01:41 AM

mmm....yummmy Egg Flower Soup. It' a broth with egg. there are lot's of other variations of it though: with shrimp or corn or peas or small slices of chicken. Really hits the spot.

Betarulz! 02-15-2002 02:09 PM

I guess of "usual" chinese chicken fried rice, egg drop soup, and beef and broccoli.

The place I usually go to at home in KC is phenomonal. There I get Amazing chicken which is chicken in this really good sauce, purple moon which is eggplant stuffed with shrimp and some other stuff - incredibly good, and then honey walnut shrimp - which is shrimp in a tempura coating, lots of honey and walnuts.
Man, I'm definetly getting hungry thinking about it...

KarenC725 02-15-2002 02:18 PM

Scheuzean (can I butcher a name or what) beef is my favorite. With a yummy eggroll too.

Girl......we're too much alike! I LOVE PF Changs, went twice last week.
But, one of my favs too is this amazing Vietnamese place named Green Papaya in Dallas. So good.

Oh, and I'll be in Atlanta this weekend to see my nephews.

Done right, I think Chinese food is one of the most delicious cusines (that and Italian are my faves). I've grown up with Chinese food (eat it every single day) so I have many favorites.

-Beef and Tomato Chow Mein -- I absolutely, positively LOVE this. I could eat it every single day of my life and not get sick of it...I swear.
-Any kind of chow mein, actually....especially beef and tender greens (YUMMMM) chow mein, chicken, pork, etc
-any kind of fried rice
-mu shu pork
-duck
-shark fin soup (so expensive...but soo good)
-pot stickers, wonton, dimsum, etc.
-I love the Chinese restaurants' vegetable dishes...I usually hate most vegetables when my mommy cooks them (sorry Mom)
-Broccoli and Beef (yuuuum)
-sweet and sour beef, spicy beef (actually any kind of beef...i could never be a vegan b/c I cannot give up beef, ever!!)
-chow fun
-pepper steak
-hot and sour soup (OMG...pure heaven)
-egg rolls
-any kind of tofu...tofu done right is also pure heaven...especially when pork is stuffed inside tofu
-egg flower soup
-Szechuan beef


I have so many more favorites, but have to run now...so will post some other time! BTW, I hate seafood so I stay away from that. Basically, you just have to find what works for you

Eirene_DGP 03-08-2002 10:52 AM

Chinese Yummies

Terryaki Chicken Skewers
Terryaki Beef Skewers

*Everything has to accompany steamed rice

volgirl2376 03-08-2002 11:10 AM

mmmmmm chinese food :p

sesame chicken
moo goo gai pan
general tso's chicken

dzsaigirl 03-09-2002 01:50 PM

General Tso's Chicken
Broccoli Beef
Shrimp fried rice
Garlic Chicken
Moo Goo Gai Pan
Egg Rolls
Won Ton Soup
Crab Puffs (which are sometimes called cheese puffs since they just have cream cheese in them)


I think those are all safe choices for even picky eaters. Some of the stuff listed by other people is funky though!

If you had to choose one to try first, I'd try the General Tso's :)

greeklawgirl 03-09-2002 02:29 PM

PF Chang's is sooooo delicious! It is one of the few places I can get my husband to really enjoy eating out at! He's a picky eater to the extreme.... :(

I have yet to meet a Chinese dish that I didn't like, but my faves are egg drop soup, lo mein, mu shu anything, cashew chicken, mongolian beef, and egg rolls. The list could go on and on!

Darn it! Its only 10:30 in the morning here, and already you people having me craving dinner! lol

Dionysus 01-20-2003 12:45 AM
