I am curious. When you fellow SD'ers dine in a Chinese restaurant (no, Panda Express doesn't count!
), what do you order? Typical sweet and sour pork, General Tso's Chicken?

At a typical American Chinese restautant, I like chicken and/or beef with broccoli, roast pork lo mein, and General Tso's chicken. There's one take-out place in a town where I used to live that makes a dish simply called "Chicken & Shrimp in Brown Sauce". It's epic. It's simply that: chicken and shrimp tossed in a spicy (sometimes too spicy!) brown gravy/sauce with some vegetables. It's great with white rice mixed in. I still drive the eight miles or so from where I live now every once in a while just to get this dish. I love it!
Duck feet for the loss!
or Sesame Chicken
or Masaman Thai Curry Chicken

Chicken Lo Mein
Some kind of soup...I can't remember the name.
Mu Shu Pork
Sesame Seed Chicken
Chicken Fried Rice and so on.
2. Pork in Garlic Sauce (dark brown spicy and garlicky thick sauce)
3. Mongolian Beef (a personal favorite)
Always ordered 非常非常辣 (very very spicy)
side note: some day i'ma go to a chinese buffet and eat nothing but jell-o. they always have it, at every single one, and i don't think anyone else eats it. i feel sorry for it.
I usually get: Orange chicken, sesame chicken, general tsos (well, DH gets it and I nibble) or lo mein.
Up next to try: Egg Foo Young, Moo Shu Pork/Chicken, Chow Fun... etc etc.
.... I really need to expand on Asian cuisine. I really love Pad Thai, it is delicious. I've never really eaten much else. We went to a Korean place once and sampled a lot of different things and that was fun. Once I get better I should definitely get to trying more Asian cuisine. What kind of Vietnamese stuff is good?
....oh and I had Panda Express for lunch today. It is actually the first thing that has given my belly an issue since I have been home from the hospital.
For take out, Hot and sour soup and curry chicken from my neighborhood Chinese place, not really a restaurant, more a take out place. Their Hot and sour is the best, never tasted anything like it anywhere else.
