What do you usually get at chinese restaurants?

[ACman]

Sushi and Sashimi, and lots of it. I mean lots, and lots, and lots. Even if it is not actually authentic(or technically chinese), I love sushi and sashimi.

That's not even close to being Chinese. People from China AND Japan would slap the shit out of you for even lumping them together. Japanese food is about clean and fresh subtle flavours and Chinese is everything from Northern Spicy Beef Hotpot to Dumplings to Red Roast Pork to Peking Duck to about fifty different regions.

I'd go for some Red Pork with lightly woked cabbage and some pickled vegetables. Or a northern Beef hot pot.

Did you read the part where I said it wasn't actually Chinese?

Anyway, despite your over reaction the OP asked what I get from Chinese restaurants. Well, there are two in my town(from a total of like 10) that I eat at regularly, and while the rest of my family gets all the stuff that is actually Chinese, I get sushi and sashimi at both.

So, regardless if its actually Chinese, that is what I get from Chinese restaurants.

So you're not going to a Chinese restaurant then. You're going to a generic Asian restaurant or you're actually going to Japanese restaurants and you don't understand the difference.

I do understand the difference, authentic Chinese restaurants serve burgers, dog, fries, rice, and raw fish. Japanese restaurants serve seaweed, cat, fortune cookies, and tuna on crackers.

Don't forget fermented eggs, fermented cabbage, fermented fish, deep fried monkey's paw, recompacted crab substitute stirfry, monkey, snake, bird vomit...

Yum.

General Tso's or Sesame chicken and Mongolian Beef with a lot of noodles. Also the occasional egg roll and egg drop soup.

Taiwan is actually the Republic of China not to be confused with the People's Republic of China.

Perhaps you are thinking of Thailand the land of stir fry everything with chilli, lime and fish sauce.

Actually, I love Chinese seafood, but I don't really know pinyin. So I'll just say lobster and crab with the funxi(?).

I don't know pinyin either (Cantonese speaker, and a lot of the anglicisations confuse the hell out of me...) but seeing as how I'm Chinese, I at least need to look like I know what I'm talking about! =P But the northern coastal provinces (though perhaps not Liaoning) are known for their seafood, the southern for their fry-ups and the inland ones for their spices. So it's all good as far as I'm concerned!

See as how you two are pretty much giving me an embolism, I'll just say that bird's nest soup is very nice, I'll have you know.

Good grief... now to spread the piss-take what do they serve at Korean restaurants?!

I always go to Chinese buffets....I get everything! (fried dumplings = win)

Smart move, Sir!

I'm really bloody boring and I'm very content with just buying plain soft noodles and sweet and sour sauce. Occasionally I'll go all out and buy Chicken Balls, too. (good job it's not their actual balls)
