You can talk about all the Americanized Chinese food you want--we know this is what you're ordering, in the end. It's General Tso's or bust.
singapore mei funeven the most podunk chinese places make thisthey may call it singapore noodles or whatever but they all have it and it's always good
>General Tso'sI used to like these but last time I got it at Panda Express there was one piece that was just a big, stringy ball of cartilage with no chicken inside it at all. It was like chewing on a dried up wad of gum.That was three years ago and I haven't wanted any since.
>>21575196look man, I celebrate Americanized Chinese food for what it is, and that's Americanized Chinese food. It's actually made for Americans, by the chinese. It's ironically as American as Apple Pie, or maybe more so. The chinese come to our country to start a restaurant to catering to the american palate. They're pretty much examples of the American dream. Every single chinese restaurant owner that I know of is doing very well off financially because of how much Americans love little bits of fried chicken with tangy spicy sauce.
>>21575196 disappointing when they don’t have corn/pea/carrot in the rice but I would still eat this on any given day
>>21575196For me, it's Kung Pao chicken so I can pretend I'm eating healthy
>>21575328okay, but we're done talking about that nowso what did you think of my post earlier?
general tsos is the last thing I'd ever order. it's probably the worst dish out of the 800 on the menu.for me it's roast pork and mushrooms.
>>21575196
>>21575196>we know this is what you're orderingyou don't know shit fuckface, never even tried it but it looks like it would leave a dirty grease slick in your mouth.
>>21575431you don't fucking talk to me like that
>>21575434how bout I kick you in the fucking teeth?
>>21575196Americanized food is always the best version.Chinese. Pizza. Mexican. All of it."Traditional" just means poor. Fuck off with that shit.
>>21575460
>>21575457You wouldn't want to fuck your pedicure up, sugar tits
>>21575196General Tso's chicken is one of the best food Americans ever invented.
>>21575471you will be deep throating my foot while I'm whistling dixy, boy.
>>21575196Yeah, I do like general tso's.So many retards get hung up on authenticity, but at the end of the day, the purpose of food is that it's good.Italians are especially bad about it, because it's a cultural pride thing and they don't have anything else, but honestly, Italian American food is just obviously fucking better. They've been working on for decades. Actual Italians are still eating peasant garbage that hasn't meaningfully evolved in like a hundred years.Ditto for the Chinese, except for the Chinese I don't even like them. At least I like Italians and want to respect them. Fuck the Chinese, Chinese American food is just better. We've improved upon it.
>>21575490>WeAsians of all sorts just adjusted their slop for picky pansies and somehow struck gold, you did nothing
ginger beef simply cannot be bested, only paired with sweet and sour chicken balls for top tier chinese.
>>21575244it do be like that
>>21575457how bout I give you a nice big fuck
>>21575520I'm saving myself for my bitch, but a cuddle would be nice and maybe I could lick your face a little
>>21575580that's a cute bitchwhat do you think of this big bitch?
>>21575597He looks like a toad with fur
For some reason my local Chinese place can’t seem to figure out general Tsos chicken, you’re guaranteed to have at least a couple “wtf am I chewing on here” moments even though all their other basic plates are pretty good
>>21575678hey, at least he ain't a frog with hair
>>21575196Tso if I can't get Mu Shu
>>21575244They don't sell general tso's at panda express.
>>21575512Isn't Indian food more popular than Chinese food now in Canada?
>>21575196In my vicinity it's called General Gau's but yeah shit is delishes.https://youtu.be/Dn7GkeS3lhI?si=LQMZlpMS8Xa9Ng9g
>>21576355They just call it something else
>>21575196Well, or chop suey when I feel like something a little "healthier". But otherwise yes.
>>21575196default takeout/delivery order:general tso or pork fried rice. if tso, then a side of fried rice. eggroll. 4-6 crab rangoon depending on restaurant. can of pepsi. soy sauce at home, packets are garbage.
>>21575457This zesty lil buck is feisty
>>21575196It's gonna be the sweet n sour pork and the chicken lo mein(spicy), bud.
>>21576381I see you utter many obscenities in your vicinity, anon.
>>21575196for me its a fried rice n chow mein with spicy honey chicken and beef and broccolli
I've not had Tso's in at least a decade unless you count general Tso's chicken wings. For me, it's roast pork with mushrooms, spicy. For wife, it's tofu and shrimp in black bean sauce, three jades shrimp or seafood delight, all with chili oil. For kiddo it's Singapore mei fun with chili oil.General Tso's is a crapshoot. The pieces are often goopy and soft >>21575232Right? My kid is all about it. >>21575347Fuckin' a. I've never known anyone else to order it! Spicy or no?
>>21576429No they don't, they don't have any equivalent. Orange chicken has a completely different flavor profile.
>>21576951Not really. Sesame chicken, orange chicken, General Tso's, it's all just deep-fried sugar-slop.
>>21576954They don't even have panda in your third world shithole so I don't really get this larp since you clearly haven't tasted any of it.
>>21576873The place I order from makes it spicy even if you don't ask for spicy, which I enjoy.
>>21575347>porkThe 11th is coming up.
>>21575478Dixie you slack jawed yankee faget. Dont make me come ober there and fuck your dad.
>>21577013?
>>21577078National holiday for jews, they have to be on their best behavior and actually follow their rules on pork.
>>21577105No, you fucking retard.
>>21575196me and my mom order the same shit for years. jalapeno chicken and shrimp with fried rice. we were so cheap the other day we made that asian man give us one dinner plate of it and one empty plate so we could share it. it's so much fucking food too, i don't know how one person can eat all that shit in one sitting alone. i'm sure some places will tell you not to share, or it may be frowned upon. the total price there was $10.99 lol. you guys need to order smarter and find out how to decrease the price.
>>21575196For me, it's beef chow fun
>>21575347You trust that pork?
>>21577050you can come over whenever you like, sweetpea. I'll feed you to my dogs I will.
>>21578832Nta but I think you're way more likely to get a gnarly piece of breaded chicken than anything weird with a chunk of pork
>>21578832Trust? Absolutely not. But I knowingly accept the risk of bodily harm the moment I place an order.
>>21575196This was true when I was a teenager but then I started getting "garlic sauce" dishes and never looked back.I would still get General Tso chicken at my local buffet, but it's always soggy and bland there. Their black pepper chicken is way better.
Curry chicken was always my go-to, but it's oddly missing from a lot of places. Never understood why.
>>21575196That, Mongolian beef, beef fried rice, and beef lo mein are my go to foods.
>>21576951>No they don'tthey call it something else
>>21579801They don't, there is no general tso's equivalent.
>>21579940They have hot orange chicken, it's literally the same shit
>>21579977It's not, orange chicken is a different flavor profile with different ingredients. There is no orange flavoring in general tso's. You haven't eaten either so I can't blame you for not knowing the difference but if you ever get a chance to eat at a chinese place you'll understand.
>>21579980Stop pretending americanized chinese food isn't just varying degrees of sugar slop
>>21579982You admit that you don't know the difference and haven't eaten either. Why troll a thread on a subject you have no knowledge of?
>>21579995There is no difference, it's the same shitty prepackaged sauce. You are retarded
>>21575232Yea I like to get this + a house egg foo young
i always order ""mongolian beef"" but i moved to a different state and nobody makes the same dish so now i only eat thai food
>>21580020I'm sorry you don't have the opportunity to eat chinese food. Hopefully that changes for you one day friend. :)
>>21580055I'm sorry you don't have taste buds
>>21580059Odd insult coming from someone who can't taste the difference between two distinctly different foods.
>>21580060They're not two distinctly different foods. They're the same food. Literally the same.
>>21580062I don't think you know what the word "literally" means because you used it incorrectly. I suggest doing some research on the english language and maybe watching some youtube videos. Even if they don't have panda express in bangladesh you could probably make your own with local ingredients.

>>21580070Uh oh, looks like I broke it's programming.
Whenever I crave chinese food, which is like once a year its only for orange chicken and egg rolls. Rangoons are good too but do not keep well as leftovers so need to be eaten same day.
>>21579940it's called something else
>>21580184It isn't.
>>21575196Kung Pao.George likes his chicken spicy.
>>21575196I used to get Tso's a couple years back, when I got chinese every other week or so, but I just kind of lost the taste for it. Now whenever I'm craving chinese food nowadays, I usually get the orange chicken from my local joint.
>>21580187it's calledhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi36ukbbTbw
>>21580198I miss AI Seinfeld posting
>>21578978love this shit. it's this or the garlic chicken for me
Bourbon chicken is the best imo but out of the 20 places that deliver around here only like 2 have it
I also like bulgogi and make it often
>>21575196I'm mostly a shrimp fried rice guy
>>21576786Pretty sure they weren't asking for your favorite SOAD song
>>21575232This is good stuff but only one of the Chinese places near me out of five sells it
>>21576786love my veggies simmered in vaseline
>>21581389chinese have a dish called aerials?
I was at a wedding in Vegas a few years back and was getting on my flight back to Europe. I had bought some edibles off the strip and been eating small pieces of it during the week. Now, entering the airport, I still had about half left and realized customs weren't going to let me keep, and I had like a 15 hour flight before I was home. So before I went into the security checkpoint, I wolfed down the whole thing and went to my gate. I had a stopover in Chicago, and at this point the edibles were in full effect. I had a couple of hours in the airport, I was hungry, and ended up at a Chinese restaurant where I had something that looked pretty much exactly like OPs pic - Was the first time I've ever had Chinese-American food and it was fucking religious, damn shame you can't get it hereAnyway, after that I finally got on my plane and just fell asleep as soon as I hit my seat - I remember hearing the PA announce they were about to begin their 11-hour flight. While he was talking I shut my eyes and started to drift off, and a few seconds later I was suddenly sprung awake by the PA announcer telling us we were beginning our descent and would be landing in 20 minutesBest flight I ever had desuThank you for reading my blog
>>21581546Sounds comfy, glad you had a good time. I love when weed time travel works out like that.
>>21581546I wish weed relaxed me like that. It just makes me paranoid in anything but small doses. Next time you're in America, try orange beef at a Chinese place and ask them to make it extra spicy. I bet you will like it too.
>>21581546it's so hard to get gummies or butter or anything good around my parts. i too want to get hai and wholfe down sweet salty spicy shiny fu and then escape reality with a heavy comƒy nap
>>21576951Yes they do lol
>>21581719They don't.
man i am absolutely craven the sweet & spicy chicken at this cheap place in the shopping centre, but the place is such an abject hellhole on weekends I don't even want to go down there. But god damn I want to stuff my fat stupid fat face with it
>>21575347Pork is haraam and will be banned
>>21581769Yes, they do. Learn to read
>>21581826No they don't, you shouldn't talk about things that don't exist in your third world shithole.
>>21575196We usually get these and share>curry chicken>mongolian beef>moo goo gai pan>sweet n sour shrimp
>>21575196>orderingnot
americanized chinese food lost a lot of appeal once I found a place that has more chinese chinese food.
>>21581983authentíque chinese food is fucking garbage
>>21582001Said the tastelet from nowhereville that has never had good chinese food.
>>21582019Agnon I live in Eastwood
Quart of sweet and sour chicken, quart of chicken fried rice, order of shrimp chimps, and wonton soup.
>>21575196I actually haven't ordered general tsos in a minutes, been on a Mongolian beef stint lately.
>>21581546
My order (UK Chinese):Sweet & sour chicken (hong kong style)Egg fried riceSingapore chow meinCrispy chilli beefSpring rolls
>>21582879>Sweet & sour chickenThis is something I'm super curious about because it seems to mean very different things depending on where you are. For me, sweet & sour chicken is pic related, but I've also ordered that and gotten more of a stir-fry style chicken that's served in sweet & sour sauce. What is your UK version if I may ask?
>>21576376No. If only because the Indians only ever live in one quadrant of our cities and are fast at work making sure they don't assimilate and are making steady progress at making ghettos.They don't buy older houses because they are quite literally old, they prefer brand-new. So I never ever see them in my neighbourhood except when they deliver ubereats to people.
>>21582062>Agnon I live in EastwoodOk, where is this Eastwood?
>>21575196Almost never. If I'm ordering from a steam table place, a la Panda Express, it'll probably be broccoli beef or maybe the BBQ pork if it looks all right. If I'm ordering from an actually restaurant, usually it's the Mongolian beef or something with the word 'House' in it.
>>21582940
>>21582952Nobody knows where your neighborhood is my guy. Like if I said I was from Alief nobody outside of Houston TX would know that means I lived next to Chinatown.
>>21575196Shit is too salty for me. Sometimes I will start ordering chicken and broccoli and brow rice then close it because I can make that shit at home
>>21575232I prefer the version that doesn't have seafood and instead has pork, chicken, and egg.
>>21582882We have two styles of chicken balls, regular chicken balls are pic related, pieces of chicken in a tempura batter that comes with a pot of sweet and sour sauce and the other is Hong Kong/Cantonese style which is more like the American general tso's chicken
>>21583042wordonly version i've had just has shrimps in it along with pork and egg. no other seafood but yeah it would be good with chicken substituted and it just depends on how much you trust your local chinese food placei dont know how they operate, but to me it seems like the chicken could be more dangerous than shrimps but who knows
>>21575196Too oily, salty and immediately gets boring after eating a few bites. Unless you're 12 or/and fucking fat, no one should be eating this as takeout. The only thing worth it from American Chinese takeout are the soups.
>>21575196Absolute peak food. I pray to God that the Little China in my area stays open for as long as possible. This shit coupled with a Blue Hawaiian/Zero Ultra monster and my Spongebob Movie on a Summer's afternoon gives me a will to live.
>>21575196I get the lemon chicken
>>21575232Wasn't expecting a fpbp but here we are. I get it extra spicy from the place near me and it's always great.
>>21583046ah makes sense. those fried chicken finger dealies are delicioussadly in australia they're usually coated in honey rather than just left alone, but it's possible to find them proper
>>21576376Indian food is kept afloat by Indians these days, white people have moved away from it. Korean is the hot thing in ethnic food now.
>>21581820Then ban yourself.
For me, it's the New York, New York.
No, I prefer noodles. They make me feel like Deckard in Blade Runner.
>>21575347Astagfirullah bro
>>21575457Someone post the banner of guys fighting over lotion
>>21585910Thanks lol
>>21584893they say you are brade runna?
>>21585942nnice
Do Chinese people make fun of their regular customers?
>>21575196For me, it's the humble boneless spare ribs. The more neon red they are, the better. Paired with some pork fried rice (or lo mein, if I'm feeling daring) and an egg roll
>>21585971It depends. If it's a place where the core customer base are non-Chinese, absolutely not. In places where the vast majority of customers are Chinese, there could be words of bemusement at the mexican family who only order starches and also drown their white rice in soy sauce. Ultimately if you're a regular, they'll like you. Regulars are the life blood of restaurants.
>>21575196>General Tso*salutes*
>>21585984Man I miss the shit out of this shit. There's an almost similar product I can find sometimes In Straya but it's more of a bbq pork in plum sauce. It's nice, but it is definitely not a substitute for New England Chinese style boneless spare ribs
You have American chinese food, then you have St Louis chinese food
are there any chains that sell general tso's? I hear so many people talk about it but never seen it on a menu around here. I think california is orange chicken territory since thats where panda express started
>>21583042It can have any of those. So long as they leave tofu out, I don't mind.
>>21586483>New England Chinese style boneless spare ribs?I used to get it regularly in Pennsylvania and have gotten it at least once each in Maryland and Delaware.
Beef with Broccoli is my go to. No idea why northern Chinese didn't bring over fried duck necks even when they brought their shitty version of dumplings.
My grocery store has it on sale for $5/lb every 2 weeks.
>>21575232Singapore noodles is the best American Chinese dish by far. I agree. A Chinese restaurant close to my Midwestern hometown used to make Shrimp with Lobster sauce like pic related, rather than the clear sauce you usually see. It was super rich and thick and tasted delicious. I miss it and really wish I could figure out how to make it.
>>21587729Yeah I know it's kinda the same everywhere but there's just a certain je ne sais kwuah when you buy it in a rusty brick-laden Massachusetts shit towne I guess
>>21575196BBQ Pork Egg Fried Rice
>>21576951>flavor profileColumbo here is profiling his slant eye slop, fucking nigger, fuck you
I get the speical noodles with beef, tomato and gravy.
>>21575196I make it at home.
>>21588972heh, sucker
I ordered congee for breakfast though
>>21587591St Pauls...I grew up eating these, they were like $1.25
>>21587592It's sadly not as common as it should be I really don't understand how it's not a staple everywhere. And no orange chicken isn't the same thing.
>>21575460This guy gets it
>>21575196Chinese food has been part of US history for like the better half of it's entire existence.US cuisine is propped up by Chinese and Mexican and a Euro/Africano mix.
>>21575196What exactly is americanized in picrel? The Chinese rice? The Chinese glaced duck (or chicken)? Or: mostly: the plastic the food lays in?
>>21589359probably the brocolli, the marinade, the breading, and the sauce, also the rice.
>>21589366Uhm anon... Nothing of that is americanized. It's indeed in the Asian version. But please educate me of the rich old american culture of rice farmers. And then when Americans started to mix it with glaced duck. Or since when brocolli is American. Hint: never, and it's not. Did you move from tiktok over here or what?
>>21589377I'm sorry, your brain is too americanized to understand the nuance, I'm afraid this is it for you.
>>21589010The little Americanized Chinese place I have been going to for years, the workers would come out to the dining room and eat big bowls of congee after the lunch rush. I always wondered if I tried to order it if they would make it for me.
>>21587592I think PF Changs does but I am not 100% sure. Only Chinese food chain I have ever been to was Panda Express, and it sucked. I just stick to little family run American Chinese places where no one speaks much english, but the food is amazing and reasonably priced.
>>21587592West coast chinese food is dogshit compared to the east. You basically have mall food court style chinese in the western part of the USA.
