[oszkar07]

Good chinese food definitly yes.
The best chinese meal I ate was chinese restaurant in Malaysia.

[Bobby Martnen]

I like American Chinese food (i.e. Panda Express, PF Chang's, Chinese Buffets), but didn't like most of the food in China itself.

Oh, well

Chinese cuisine is extremely diverse. Most Westerner's experience of it is very limited because they typically just have the generic westernized Chinese food, which is not bad, but it's basically the McDonald's tier of Chinese cuisine.

There are about 6 or 7 different regional cuisines and it's definitely the most diverse cuisine in the world. Saying Chinese food, is like saying European food, basically.

[SkyBurn]

The only people that don't like Chinese food (a very diverse spread, mind you) are the white people that find mayonnaise spicy.

[Kamal900]

Fuck yes!

[Crimean]

I have never been in China, but a peking duck in the restaurant in Moscow was delicacy.

Problem is that Chinese dishes do not look very appetizing to me. Βut then again I have never tried any of those dishes, so I don’t really know what they taste like or what they are made of.

I recently saw this video about this hole in the wall Peking duck restaurant that became famous. I should try it next time I'm in Beijing.

I meant American-style Chinese food. I've been to China, and didn't like most of it.

[Arcadefire]

I liked Americanized Chinesefood rather than what I ate in Hong Kong.

You were probably not used to it. I think I remember you said you went to Beijing, Northern Chinese food is very different from Cantonese food, which is what most American style Chinese food is based off of.

I found Mandarin style food bland compared to the cantonese style (which appeased to my south asian/Nepalese ),,, And even like, as i mentioned already, the food I ate in hong kong was not as "sauce heavy" as the san fransico style chinese food that i am use to eating here in Toronto

[MysteriousWays]

Considered one of the top four cuisines in the world according to most chefs (along with French, Italian, and Indian). I have had several varieties of Chinese food (Cantonese, Chinese-American, Mandarin, Xi'an, and Szechuan). I do sometimes find Cantonese food boring, but like the rest of them quite a bit. Even for Cantonese food, it depends on the specific dish and restaurant/person cooking it.

[Gangrel]

One of the 3 great cuisines.

I wasn't just in Peking - also Shanghai, Hangchow, and Sian. There were some things I really liked, but overall, I'd prefer an American Chinese restaurant. (I did like the orange juice in China - it was sweeter than normal orange juice)

[Bobby Martnen]

It's not just Chinese food I feel this way about - I prefer Americanized Mexican, Italian, etc... food over the authentic items.

Its the same with Indian food. The north American version is honestly much better. Ofcouse people are snobby and will dismiss it.

North American chefs are provided with better quality ingredients and are able to borrow from other cultures.

You'd probably like Sichuan food, which is very spicy. Cantonese food isn't that spicy.

The food Ive had at upper end restaurants in China are a lot better than the Chinese restaurants in the US, but again, it'll depend on your palette. If you're not used to eating traditional Chinese food, you may not be able to fully appreciate it. It's hard for me to see why anybody would dislike it however.

Tbh I was kinda grossed out by the pigeon feet

Well, obviously there are going to be some really exotic things that will gross you out. I'm talking about the more mainstream stuff however.

[MysteriousWays]

I could find something from a variety of cuisines (Chinese food, Japanese, Vietnamese, Italian, Middle Eastern-broadly defined) that would gross people out, but the most typical dishes are not usually going to gross me out from a variety of cuisines.

[WillyWonka]

I could devour it for the rest of my life. Forget pizza!

[Vigilance]

Chinese food really is topnotch.:thumb001:

I mean virtually all of Chinese food. Everything... soups, stir friend, sweet and sour, "curry" Chinese style, beef broth, chicken stock, minced pork, duck sauce, some steamed leafy greens on the side on your wholesome noodle bowl, Chinese delicacies Eu Cha Kueh, roasted Peking duck, peanut balls in almond soya milk, peanuty muah chee

What is there to not like?

Hokkien Mee, Chilli Sambal Sting Ray, Laksa, Chilli Crab, squishy friend Tofu, Chee Cho Fan, mmm how nice!

[greasycaveman]

Yes i eat it alot, same with japanese food.

[Iloko]

It's not authentic Chinese food but USA has some pretty decent tasting all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets which you can find in almost every single city you go to in any state in the country..

[JohnSmith]

I love it.

[JohnSmith]

I have been create kebabs and Muslim food recently and it is good. Has curry in it.

[Svipdag]

I was once told by the proprietor of a Chinese restaurant that the fare at American "Chinese" restaurants is banquet food such as the average Chinese MIGHT taste once in a lifetime. He added "If I served REAL Chinese food here, I'd be out of business in a week."

I've noticed Americans love Chinese take out especially Chinese buffet, Panda Express, etc. You people devour it. Whenever I see a Chinese take out I see loads of Whites or Mexicans taking the food to go, lol.

Glad to see you back.

[brennus dux gallorum]

no, and that goes for all far east dishes

[rami999]

cool

[Smeagol]

I like it but I don't eat it often.

[Chaos One]

Easy yes. Had a chance to try more when in Japan since it's easier to find different things (same with Korean food). Love asian food at all.
