What to Order at a Chinese Restaurant
I don't eat often at Chinese restaurants but everytime I do, I take forever with the menu and either end up ordering things that don't taste that good or the same old thing. Can someone recommend what I should get, and what it is?

What to Order at a Chinese Restaurant
Depends on where you're getting it...
And even if you mean in general/not around mac, there's "Chinese" food, and "Canadian-Chinese" food =/

My favorite food at my local chinese restaurant is Chicken fried rice, won ton soup, egg rolls, and chicken soo guy. This is probably what you would consider 'the same old thing' though. Im not much of a risk taker when it comes to chinese food.

i agree with jeff. A lot of the time, it's "canadian-chinese" and not really CHINESE chinese. if you go for actual chinese food, i suggest yin yang fried rice. The "white" side is a cream sauce with shrimp, peas, and carrots. The "red" side is a tomato sauce, usually with chicken. If you like shrimp and pork, try wonton noodles. Make sure you get it at an actual chinese restaurant, not the canadianized version. In the canadian version, the dough for the wonton is a lot thicker than it should be, so i prefer the more traditional chinese version. hope you enjoy your meal the next time you have chinese food ^_^

In some restaurants, the strips of white paper with Chinese characters on the walls = the real Chinese food. At least, that was the way it was in a couple of restaurants in Windsor. My grade 6 teacher asked what they were, and was told "Oh you don't want that, that's real Chinese food."

Some restaurants have a separate menu as well. Restaurants that serve fortune cookies aren't 100% chinese either.
