Q: What is the most delicious Chinese food ?
Based on your own experience !
Sweet and sour king prawns and special fried rice from the Happy House Chinese Takeaway in my home village.
BHGAL:
I really like the seafood I get here. yes, the prawns are great, so are the clams, oysters, cutttlefish and squid..overdo it sometimes, but sure are good, at a reasonable price!!
Chow mein is great for a greasy lunch when you have a hangover.
Mrs.nogueira:
The food you wanted to say actually is Chao Mian. I found lots of foreigners love it. That's very troditional food in China. But nowdays it's difficult to find the proper one.
Hotwater:
Outside China, in western countries, it's called Chow Mein!
Xinjiang food. Both Uyghir and Kazakh tucker outstrip Chinese food. Lucky for me I live in Xinjiang. And Wusu, the local drop out here, it the best beer in the country.
I did love eating fresh gala when I lived in Qingdao.
xanman:
Chinese every food is delicious than other but i like the most of them fish fried food.
I like a lot of the Cantonese style. And DongBei...
(also, the Turkish in the bar street in GZ! 
)
Shining_brow:
No Royce - Turkish!! Very Turkish... and other middle-eastern foods along that street.
Apparently, a lot of Mid-Eastern expats in the area.
royceH:
Ah ok, fair enough. I went to a couple of supposed Turkish restaurants in Kashgar earlier in the year and they weren't a lot different to the better Uyghir places you can go to. I remember the Turkish place that used to be in Qingdao a few years ago was quite different, however.
IMO Uyghir food is good, but Turkish food is better. So you are lucky!
As an aside I can tell you that, by and large, the locals of the region I live in identify closely with Turks.
I prefer Western Chinese food.
I am sick to death of picking bone shards out of a perfectly good bit of chicken.
I want pork meat, not pork skin with fat.
I want chicken soup. Not chicken bone soup.
I want to be able to eat the good bits. Not the brown bit's I would use as fishing bait back in my home country.
Ha ha. I am very lucky though... the Turkish food Sainthood talks about in GZ is not too far from where I live. Yum yum 
Shining_brow:
Being proud to eat like a peasant... I don't get that at all!
Am I right in my thinking that Cantonese food uses less offal and bone etc?? Just what I've noticed with the Cantonese food I've had.
The best Chinese food is to be found in places other than China.
And when you tell the locals that, they won't believe ya!
They ought to start setting some standards in this country. I mean, who really gives this joint any real credit for anything?
So yeah, the naan and kaorou made by the minority in Xin is really good....but they're trying to breed this minority out post haste. After that happens, what will they have left that's not just crap?
Baby panda, lightly steamed, and served with sweetbreads.
Shining_brow:
Seriously?
You haven't tried Bear's Claws. Unlike those silly American/Canadian ones, China makes theirs from real bears!
Fish & Chips with "Chinese" curry sauce from Kongs. Best Chinese chippy in my hometown for 45 years.
If you like spicy food so Shui Zhu Niu Rou Pian in Sichuan or Chongqing is great.
Suan Ni Bai Rou may be even better.
Otherwise Beijing duck, if done well is also great.
On the other note absolutely the worst I consider steaks - so far I did not find a single place in China where they could do steaks well ...
Stiggs:
Yep, Beijing Duck is awesome, Sichuan food less so IMO, I can't hadle anything that spicy.
Shining_brow:
You don't go to a 'Chinese' restaurant to get steak! And, any city below T2 won't have a good steak even in a 'western' restaurant.
You can get them here, but they tend to be expensive (300+RMB) and in a more specialised place (usually with a foreign chef).
I used to love the prawn toast from Chinese takeaways in the UK. Does anyone know if they have it here or is it something created for Western customers?
coineineagh:
That's indonesian. Kroepoek is the Dutch name. Try searching for prawn crackers or prawn crisps.
Shining_brow:
Do you mean "prawn crackers'? Deep fried differently coloured crunchy things?
if yes, then yes - they are available here. YOu should be able to find them in a supermarket, pre-cooked. They look like paper-thin plastic coloured coins, about the size of... well, put your thumb to first finger. You get about 30 or more in a pack.
If you mean toast with some prawny thing attached somehow... no idea!
Lord_hanson:
Not prawn crackers, though I like them too and buy them frequently. I think coin found them.
Peking Duck is quite nice.
I'm fond of egg & tomato stew/soup. It's ingenious, because the tomato's "umami" flavour is due to enzymes which break down proteins into amino acids. And the flavour is great with some mild herbs.
A big shout out to spicy Sichuanese cuisine. I love the style, however I can't really pick a favourite dish due to
- After years of living in Sichuan, you see themes, patterns, and the lack of variation on the menu,
- Bones (splintered), skin, tendons and other weird meats being used,
- China's subconscious fetish with any part of the animal that has been mostly covered in shit and filth during its lifetime (they wash carefully with hot water, oh yes), ranging from delicacies like bowels, feet, and tails, all the way to 'delicious' skin,
- too much has soggy texture and is dripping in oil.
For streeet food, I go for the 'bing' which looks like a pita bread with finely chopped vegetables inside. Crunchy and spicy in Sichuan.
And finally, I must say that I HATE HOT POT!!!1!
God damn Mongowrian food invading my digestion system at every bloody family meeting, ruining my intestinal wall. I hate it SO much. Fuck that boiled crap; fuck it straight to hell.
Honeyed Lotus root .... (with some other thing inside the holes)
