Favorite Chinese dish?

[keg in kc]

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.

[Blindside58]

Pot of Pioli's with a side of Vrabel sauce?

[luv]

Hot n Spicy Chicken - all white meat and crab rangoon. Man I miss that.

[Molitoth]

Panda Express Orange chicken.

I know. I know.

[phisherman]

go by the Thai Place and get a nice order of shrimp phad Thai medium hot.

it's good and it's good for you, unlike most chinese food.

[Lumpy]

My advice... steer clear of the Wicked Wok. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j275/McLumpy78/Funny%20Stuff/Chinese.jpg

Kung Pao chicken.

[Katipan]

obligatory PU PU PLATTER

Hot n Spicy Chicken - all white meat and crab rangoon. Man I miss that.I'm with you on the crab rangoon, but I'm not much for hot-n-spicy anything. Not that I don't enjoy spicy food in theory, but my tongue doesn't usually like it. I get this lovely (and painful) swelling. So I try to stay away from really hot food. So when I eat thai, for instance, it's always mild.

[keg in kc]

obligatory PU PU PLATTERI always get that, although it's a bobo platter at the place I frequent. That and combination lo-mein are always part of my order.

[keg in kc]

sweet and sour combinationI was thinking along those lines.

The hot n spicy chicken I have isn't hot at all. Just warmer than anything else. Pretty mild, IMO. Actually, sesame chicken sounds good, too. It's a bit sweet, but not too much.

I had a yogurt for lunch. I need to stop thinking about this.

Oh, and an egg roll with hot mustard.

I'm impressed. Skip the rangoon and go for the egg roll. Lesser of two evils.

[Sam Hall]

Mandarin pan fried noodles is another good choice.

[sedated]

Chinese usually have chkn lo mein, general tso's, or cashew chkn

but since I discovered Thai, I haven't stepped foot in a chinese restaurant.

I love thai food, but I'm not in a 'try a new place' mood today.

I've had Triple Delight (shrimp, beef, chicken) the last couple of times at a little Chinese place by my house. It's quite good.

I've only ever eaten Panda Express and this Super China Buffet.

My favorite is String Bean Chicken from Panda Express.

Hot sour soup, and ask for extra hot oil on the side.

Brocolli beef. It's easy to make if you have a wok.

try phad thai first. branch out from there.

it's rice noodles, bean sprouts, peanuts and your choice of meat.

Pad thai is great. One of my favorite things to eat.

Chinese and Thai are at their best with spicy dishes. Kung Pao, General Tso, Laab Gai.

What you're asking is akin for asking for BBQ recommendations, but you don't like anything slow smoked.

Thai can be mild if you request it that way. They typically ask you what level you want when you order (mild, medium, hot, thai hot). And they will do middle levels, like "medium-mild" or "medium-hot" (but the chick taking the order doesn't speaka much engwish, so I try to keep it as simple as possible)

Its tough with Thai though, in terms of the levels of spice. If I go to the one downtown, I always got "hot". The one here in OP, I always get "medium", they blow your doors off, but even then its occassionally too mild or hot.

I know the girls in the office have gotten Thai for lunch because they are talking across the office "mine's too hot", "mine's too mild".

[Baby Lee]

Half of them do, chicken strips and pizza bites too, on the buffet.

It's not a decision I really have a whole lot of choice about.

I went to Bo Ling's with a Chinese colleague from work. You can actually get authentic Chinese food if requested. They knew him, so he ordered "Chinese" food. I tried some of what he ordered. It was different for sure, and spicy. Was it somehow Chinese awesomeness? Nope.

If you do get the Mongolian Beef I recommended, DON'T eat the little peppers. Just push them to the side.

At Bo Lings right now they have Shrimp Chow Funn (wide rice noodle that is quite good.

I rotate between the curry noodle, pan fried noodles, Gong Bao Chicken, Sichuan hot Pepper beef, Bejing Duck, Moo Shu Pork, and Tofu Family Style.

I will be there Sunday for Dim Sum.

Okay. You've got me craving Chinese food. With the snow we're supposed to get tomorrow, I'm going to the store to get ingredients for a veggie soup. Let it simmer in the crock pot overnight. Yum. I guess I'll make tonight my cheat day. Stop and get some Chinese, and enjoy some drinks from the fridge.

[MTG#10]

I hate Chinese. The only thing I like that's even remotely close is cashew chicken, but its obviously not real Chinese, just invented by a Chinese guy in Springfield.

Pretty sure that Thai food uses a lot of peanuts. No traditional chinese I have had uses peanuts as the flavor.

Yeah, you're right; they do. You have to REALLY read the menu and ask questions, or you'll get something pretty yuk.

The dish I like is rice, green peppers, onions, sprouts, and beef(or pork). They put a Thai curry sauce on the bottom, and you just put some hot red mustard on top, and kind of mix it all around.

Good shit!

thai is very hot

That's a chinese dish I'd go for, but I don't think odds are very great that I'm going to find it in the midwest.

[Fishpicker]

Chinese- General Tsings chicken
Japanese- Tuna Sashimi with strong horseradish
Korean- Daeji Bulgogi (barbecue pork) very spicy with fermented beans/chili
Vietnamese- Pho soup with wafer thin filet mignon. the steak is served raw and gets cooked by the broth.
Laotian- Beef Heaven, its like beef jerky but is very fatty. can be sun dried or deep fried.
Indian- Masala curry (no yogurt) with Venison or duck.

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.

[DaFace]

Egg drop soup
General Tsao chicken
Sesame chicken
Crab rangoon

Those are my standby's.

[KcMizzou]

Egg drop soup
Ever tried this stuff? Tasty.

[Pioli Zombie]

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.
