I don't think I've ever really eaten Chinese Food, if I have, then I feel bad for the Chinese in general. Chinese restaurants in T.O. don't seem to try very hard at all. I'm sure Chinese people turn their noses in disgust at all these fat white people chowing down at all you can eat "Chinese" buffet.
If it's supposed to taste like that, well, that explains a lot.
I'm not a big fan of Chinese Food. There used to be a place near where I worked called the 'China Buffet'. A guy got food poisoning and it was quickly redubbed the 'China Barfet'.
That place's food wasn't even very good to begin with.
my fav is chicken wiff brocoli. sometimes, for variety, i get beef wiff brocoli, but it aint as good. i aint too keen on trying new things, so i aint tried much more than that. i mean, i have had a few bites of some kind of darker chicken (darker sauce than c w/ b), which also had brocoli, but i dont ever remember what it was called, so i dont ever order it.
mmmm, hot pot.... also, dumplings. Good stuff. I've also had this great wrap thingy. I'm not sure what it's called, but you stuff it full of different things. That's good....
That's when I'm eating authentic chinese (read: my gf's family's house).
absolute favorite chinese food: "rolling lettuce chicken" at su hong's in palo alto. its been my favorite since before i could talk. though no one makes it out in boston, so i console myself with mu shu chicken...mmmm..plum sauce.... though the best thing i've ever eaten was this chicken stuffed with rice and then fried at this place in san francisco for our lunar new year celebration. it was amazing. absolutely amazing. ooh, they had really good shark fin soup too.
Nothing can beat the dishes found in HK. In America, I may go for black bean chicken. I heard that Martin Yan just opened up a rest. in San Francisco called "Yan Can"... anyone been there before?
I'm always partial to Ginger Beef, although we do end up going for Dim Sum... Bean curds... whatever those little puff balls with honey and pork in them... never can get enough.
