Q: How often do you eat chinese food?
Have to say, I like chinese food and used to eat different kinds of local food in different places on a daily basis. But recently I guess I'm just a bit fed up. Maybe no more chinese food for next two weeks...How do you balance your food choices here?
Just cook your own food. You choose what you want to eat and when.
In general I find Chinese food being obnoxious like its people. Very few dishes could be interesting but thet get ruined on constant basis by poor ingredients quality and/or cooks abuse of shitty oil and MSG.
I currently do not eat Chinese food as free choice.
Rarely, but when I do I chose quality restaurants, and I avoid meat as much as I can.
By the way, am I the only one who thinks that pork has a really weird taste in most places? Well, not weird actually, it just tastes like smelly market.

That tells you a lot about general hygiene standards of Chinese restaurants. Even "top of the line" ones.

One can find a lot about restaurant just by visiting the can first!
Most of the time, because it's what I can find easily outside, and I like it. I don't eat meat (well, if there are small bits in the food, I won't make a scandal about it) thought. At home, my wife cook simple Chinese food, which I enjoy a lot. It's less oily, it's simple, it's yummy. She does a great effort to vary and try new ideas.
We eat other kind of foods sometime on week-ends. At home, my wife is keen on trying different things. I introduced her to steam-cooked fish in aluminum fold, and she makes nice curry 
I eat Chinese food every day. My wife and ayi do the cooking. Occasionally we will eat out but mostly we try to cook our own healthy meals. I travel often so I choose hotels with good cuisine. I was a vegetarian in America, but that's hard to do here. I also get fed up with the monotony of Chinese food sometimes. That's when I will cook my hometown comfort foods, mac-n-cheese, lasagna, baked beans, peach cobbler, etc..
Chinese food can be great when cooked by a skilled chef, but most of the time in most places they don't really care. I don't want to take chances with my life.
I think, in almost 4 years, I've had 2 or 3 days where I haven't had Chinese food. Usually breakfast is not Chinese, but lunch and or dinner is most often, and rarely will both be non-Chinese on the same day

This. We are living a parallel life. If you had French Toast today, I'm gonna freak!
Scandinavian:
to live a parallel life with me, you must also have a clone of DrMonkeys wife !
I had a chocolate/banana muffin after my lunch pizza today
wagon:
After your western breakfast and pizza lunch, I'm starting to think you're telling tales! Sell out!
Scandinavian:
nope, but the pizza was not my idea, it is the wife that craves real food once in a while.
