Favourite Chinese food dish

[goodtime]

Dim my sum

Sticky rice and ginger squid, served for Dim Sum!

Kennedy, you can sticky my rice and ginger my squid anytime. You want to sample my dim sum?

Sticky rice is best with black shitake mushroom and diced chinese pork sauage, add touch of soy sauce. With hot chilly sauce of course... Can't have dim sum without King size Shrimp dumplings. (See pic of satisfied Goodtime licking his lips) Glad we have lots of good dim sum places in T.O.

Pool, in H.K., it was the fishball girls that were in demand.

Satay, strictly speaking is an south asian dish with Indian influence. Love it with peanut sauce. Thai, Malay, Indo places make the better version, imo.

I concur there are more than 1 Chinese person in Winterpeg. There are many native SP who claim to be Asians. Also very small Japanese, Koreans, Viet communities.

Cute, the in-place in Winterpeg is Hu's on First. Great food, pricer by Chinese diner standard. Great view and nice decor. A franchase of the U.S. P.F. Chang, trendy upscale Chinese food. Surprise so many great eateries in WPG.

My favorite dish, many but to pick one, plain old shanghai noodles. Too bad most place don't make it well.

Hey Jillian (cupids), It may be hard to take this at face value, but I really do like that better than Indian butter chicken. LOL!

I love Chinese too! The butter chicken we had was great though, although I am not sure what was better... the looks we were getting from the nosey table next to us as we discussed the escorting industry or the tasty butter chicken.

Next time we do dinner together we will find some Peking Duck. I am very partical to Excellent at Dundas and Spadina as they have really great seafood and I have many memories of getting "cold tea" during my not so distant youth. I have yet to try there Peking Duck but maybe we should try it this week for our next meeting of the minds.

The majority of restaurants that the health insecption board has closed over the last several years in the GTA have been Chinese. Unless it's upscale authentic or home made....no thanks.

"Cold tea" or "special tea". It's all good!

 

[lasslicker]

Ah Youth...

We used to order it as a "second pot of tea".

I love any chinese dish with shrimp in it. It does not matter mild, hot or suicide. Just bring on the shrimps.

I love Chinese food and go to chinatown often, but have to agree that the restaurants are almost all flithy. The other day I ate a place near Spadina/Dundas called Dumpling House or something, and it was a real dump. It was so disgusting I lost my appetite. The restrooms are almost always unbelievably nasty.

Saigon Star in Richmond Hill is a rip off, had the curried crab take out for two , filthy smashed crab smothered with curry sauce in one bag, the other bag had an intact crab, no sauce on it, first crab must have been off of someone elses plate, left overs. I will not repeat there ever again

 

[Berlin]

Dang, and how long ago was that ? Their curry crabs have always been good , for years ...

 

[ruck]

My faves are mapo tofu, general tsao chicken and shrimp in lobster sauce.
I dont' have a fave chinese restaraunt. Usually I frequent Rol San, but my own mapo tofu is the best. I have been told by many that it is unmatched.

 

[JoyfulC]

Dim sum! Any kind. No time is better spent than a couple hours with friends and dim sum.

I've heard this expression dropped in Toronto, Montreal, Florida, and California, "The best Chinese food is in Toronto.". You would think the Californians and Floridians would praise san Francisco and New York first but they don't.

Yup. We have it good in T.O.

This may be unsnobbish & unsophisticated, but I just love those MuShu pancakes with Pork filling & Hoisin sauce. Come to think of it, just about anything I can dip into or mix with Hoisin sauce kicks me into gastronomic orgasm. I hear that today this is looked upon as the food of White visitors to Chinatown, but I don't care. Besides, I've seen movies from HongKong & Taiwan where guys gorge on MuShu.

I don't know if Hakka counts, but the Chilli Chicken made by the original crew at Indochine on Dundas was loads of fun - very sweet & VERY HOT!

Sweet & silky Beef Tendon noodle soup is he best thing in a bowl, I just love the slight naughtiness of that arome and texture.

 

[Vancouver Femme Fatale]

Shrimp and egg (gravy style) on crispy noodles..To die for at Hon's on Robson in Vancouver. And egg tarts. I adore those suckers.

Ok...WTF? I can't get the smilies you click to put in a post, or bold or italic, etc. to work all of a sudden? My keyboard's been all wack lately...is it just me having this problem?

A young crispy 19 year old chinese girl...

That is why it was called a dumpling house?

But Selina is right. For the ladies: Cream of Wan Yong Guy.

I know Rusty would like it, too!
