OT: Chinese Food

[RayRay34]

I'm thinking of ordering Chinese food.

Crab Rangoon and Sweet & Sour Chicken... great late night food.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Great taste

Visited China last month. Sea cucumber is awful as is abalone. But dumplings of all kinds are way better than Americanized Chinese food, even in Auburn.

I was there a while back. Yes the dumpling are great but their food in general was terrible.

You thought the food in China was terrible?

I’m told the Chinese don’t eat Chinese food in China.

I’m told the Chinese don’t eat Chinese food in China.

Sure they do. Their diets consist mostly of chicken fingers, beef teriyaki on a stick, boneless spare ribs, chicken wings and scorpion bowls.

I have an ad for free parking in New Haven.

I imagine it’s a chop shop.

Had never thought I'd see Meeking Duck ...

Hah, an intentional pun during the Auburn loss ... current coached team enduring injury ... deficient in spirit ... easily imposed on ... submissive

Great Taste in New Britain. Best Chinese food in the state. Hands down.

First, skip any of the restaurants referenced above. Go to Flushing.

To inadequately answer your question, 1st, dim sum is Guandongese (Cantonese). In Mandarin, dian xin. It references the style of ordering, serving from carts, tapas-like portions typically served during morning to early afternoon hours on small plates or in small steam baskets. 2nd, consider primarily Guangdong-regional (Cantonese including HKese) foods including a broader array of what most westerners unknowingly reference as dumplings, seafood, pork and veggie buns, baked desserts, throw in some chicken feet, etc. Unfortunately, it's easier to see and know than to try to define, explain, e.g., as demonstrated by my weak effort, or find decent quality of in CT.

Wang Palace>>>Ming Bao

Is that the one by Bollywood? Not a big fan personally

 

[temery]

That did it. Great explanation. Thanks.

As to “Flushing” - yeah, there’s usually a lot of flushing involved when I eat Chinese.

This reply, and most importantly this picture, is spectacular. And it 2 a.m. and I'm hungry.

Sichuan Pepper in Vernon (same plaza as Reins Deli) is where Chinese people I know eat. The claim it is the most authentic. Although when I went with them, I am not sure what they ordered was on the menu.

Dim sum = Our predicted score in every remaining game.
