    Suggestions on Chinese Food

    Hey all,

    I work in an office in the afternoons all through the night. My co-worker and I decided to order chinese food and I decided to get egg drop soup and fried scallops.

    I had asked if the scallops were breaded and they said no, so I went on and ordered it.

    When I got the food, I noticed the scallops looked breaded. I asked my co-worker and she said that no it's like fried chicken (as in the scallops crisp up since the guy from the restaurant claimed they were not breaded.) Ok so I decided to eat it but then tried looking the receipe up and they are breaded (talk about deceit and only looking out for a sale)

    So now I wanted to know if you all have any favorites from chinese restaurants to have an idea for the next time.

    I wanted to order the chicken wings but they were out of them, they must be a popular choice

    Thank you all for taking the time to give suggestions

    How annoying about the breading.

    I went out for chinese recently and had hot and sour soup followed by some steamed seabass (delicious) and beef with chillis and chinese vegetables. It was lovely.

    I drank jasmine tea with it and it was a nice treat. I was surprised as I have always avoided Chinese restaurants since doing this WOE. Having said that, there are more friendly cuisines out there if you have a choice! x

      hot and sour soup uses corn starch, doesn't it?

      My favourite soup is actually Thai and not Chinese and is called Tom Yum Gai. mmmm

        Most chinese foods use cornstarch - even stir fries. Thai is a much better bet and they usually dont use the starch. Curries there use coconut milk which is low in carbs and things like satay, tom yum soups, Thai beef salad, all good and legal.

         It's not about the results. Its about the process.

          I always order moo goo GI pan and I know I spelled that wrong.


          When I get it how I dump it in a collender and rinse with hot water them pop in it the microwave still get the food without the starch.
