Food and Drink Favorite Chinese dish? - Page 7

Probably going to grab some take-out on the way home, and instead of actually doing work, I thought I'd see what kind of chinese dishes you aficionados (read: fat-asses) like.

I may be adventurous and try something from the Thai Place, but I think I'll save that for next weekend.

Dim sum is only served on a limited basis at most restaurants (if at all), usually late morning/early afternoon on weekends. It's normally not an option for dinner, when most people want Chinese food.

Egg drop soup
General Tsao chicken
Sesame chicken
Crab rangoon

Those are my standby's.

The marco polo at the tiki port in hyannis,ma. With a pupu platter of course. The food in KC is great. But the seafood and chinese food sucks
KC gets the edge on meat and bbq. The steak at ihop in kc are better than the best steaks in boston. But the chinese is bad. Avoid Pings in olathe unless you are trying to die.

Back years ago when I lived in Baltimore I would sometimes make about a 15 mile drive past many Chinese restaurants to get to a place called Uncle Lee's. The object of those journies was a spicy dish of noodles in a peanut and cucumber sauce. With the cool of the cucumbers and the spice of the chilies and the sweet of the peanut butter, all blended into the wide noodles which acted as there conduit.....I'm telling you, it was like a State Fair for the palate.

I have tried this dish in many Chinese restaurants across the country and have never had it as good as Uncle Lee's. Some, in fact, were just plain bad. I'll keep trying, but I'm probably doomed to a future of Chinese noodle disappointment.

Authentic Thai doesn't use peanut sauces. They do sprinkle crushed peanuts on a lot of dishes, though.

This blog has a lot of authentic recipes and videos of street vendors in Bangkok, Thailand. I find it pretty interesting, especially compared to how you usually see the food here.

Yep. Agreed. Good thai food doesn't use peanut sauces. Bad representation of Thai food in the states.
