I am totally drooling over here.<br /><br />Every time we order we get crab rangoon (best ANYWHERE is Changhai in Lexington), Peking ravioli (sometimes called dumplings), egg rolls and I am a white rice kind of gal (because I had a pork fried food poisoning experience once that was <i>not</i> pretty). Every time we order though we try at least one new thing. Sometimes good, sometimes bad but at least we get a chance to mix it up. Lo mein, chow mein, chicken cashew (with pineapple)...<br /><br />That reminds me...the <i>BEST</i> Chinese food I've ever had in my life was when we were in Galway, Ireland on our honeymoon. No I am not kidding. I still dream about that meal sometimes.CSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-61308428841050158432010-03-25T23:15:03.532-04:002010-03-25T23:15:03.532-04:00Shrimp Lo Mein !

(This being said after I just polished off the last of the vanilla ice cream with the swirls of orange sherbet in it, ya know!)<br />But anyway, I do love, love, love Chinese foods -thus far, I can't think of the name of any that I haven't liked/loved. General Tso's -yeah, one of my favs, along with Hot and Sour Soup too. I much prefer going to Oriental restaurants that specialize in buffets though that way I don't have to make just one choice but can get a dabble of almost everything on the table! I also like other oriental foods too -Korean (worked with two different folks over the years who whipped up some really awesome Korean stuff) and also Thai (my son's ex-fiance had spent time as an exchange student in Thailand and she could make some really neat dishes. (Ultra spicy they were but then, I love the ultra spicy, ya know!)<br />Wish there was a Chinese takeout some where near where I live as I'd be sending Mandy off to get some for me for a midnight snack!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-51471199679137379272010-03-23T21:56:30.205-04:002010-03-23T21:56:30.205-04:00dude, it's 10pm and now i am jonesing for spic...dude, it's 10pm and now i am jonesing for spicy chicken and cashews, spring rolls, and buddha's delight!limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-17013437647443925492010-03-23T13:03:54.759-04:002010-03-23T13:03:54.759-04:00I could eat Chinese food two times a year and be c...I could eat Chinese food two times a year and be completely satisfied - just not one of my favorites, but I do like Salt & Pepper Shrimp!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505134228454833619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-43700146334639049052010-03-23T11:14:07.610-04:002010-03-23T11:14:07.610-04:00Oh yum!

I love Chinese food and haven't had any for a long while.<br /><br />My must-haves are egg rolls or spring rolls with lots of plum sauce, honey garlic spare ribs, chicken fried rice (with the spare ribs sauce mixed into it) and anything with a load of crunchy veggies in it. I've never tried lobster sauce - really, I had no clue just what it was until I just read your explanation, but now it's a must-try for next time.

However, when the craving for Chinese food is flung upon me, although there are two Chinese restaurants almost within walking distance, I drive 10 miles to another one, just because of the H&S soup. I am quite fond of "brains in gravy," too. :) My favorite meal is H&S soup, General Tsao's Chicken, Shrimp with vegetables, steamed rice, Spring Rolls with sweet/sour sauce,and a pot of Jasmine tea.

If someone else can fill in more detail, please do so.<br /><br />It's a concoction of ground pork and/or beef, garlic, thick gravy, and minor (very minor) bits of vegetable, perhaps scallions. <br /><br />There are two styles, so far as I know. The one I like is dark and rich. I am not sure of the spices used, but most certainly thickened with corn starch or something like that. Think of a very rich beef stew with no vegetables and the meat sort of ground up; best I can do.<br /><br />The other style - which is probably more authentic, but less my favorite - is a lighter color, almost beige, with eggs whisked into it and much less meat, if any. It is actually used in the dish Lobster Cantonese, as a sauce, and thus the name. The type I like is a bastardization and has probably never seen a lobster :-)<br /><br />IMHO, the best way to eat it is to spoon it over fried rice, mix it all together with a bit of duck sauce as a sweetener.

The beauty of having a family of six means we can easily experiment and share different dishes. I could never imagine sitting down to a Chinese meal with only ONE dish in front of me. Funny thing is, it wasn't until leaving home I ever tried any "foreign" cuisine, my folks were far from adventurous on the food front. Actually, you've put me in mind of a food story of my own - thanks for that!<br /><br />I can't wait to see you and the guys perform, well, virtually that is (grin).Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-2083859309288319332010-03-23T03:30:59.965-04:002010-03-23T03:30:59.965-04:00Mmm, I love Chinese food.

My favorites are egg rolls (but not those nasty "spring rolls"; they have to have chicken or pork in them), beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, sesame chicken, pork fried rice, ham fried rice, chicken chow mein, orange chicken if it's not spicy, and the mandarin chicken from Panda Express (but do they even count as a Chinese food place?). Oh, egg flower soup and cheese puffs are delicious, too.
