OT: Chinese Food

[uconnphil2016]

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.

There's a place in either Hartford or West Hartford on New Britain Ave as well that's like this and really good...its near the korean market

19 Signs You're In a BS Chinese Restaurant

Despite mentioning Vietnamese American past operators of a supposedly legit Chinese restaurant, comical Crab Rangoon, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and other supposedly Chinese foods which don't exist in China or Taiwan, the similarly funny reference to Kung Pao Chicken most likely nothing remotely close to actual Gōng Băo Jī Dīng (literally chicken with peanuts), etc., that's a pretty funny and sort of accurate review.

Aside from the Vernon restaurant's name, a majority Chinese customer base speaking Chinese dialects and items not identified in English on a menu are often hints a restaurant may serve food somewhat close or closer to the many diverse regional foods. Sounds like a place with potential!

We order grinders, Chinese, Italian, Thai food, etc for delivery when we are too lazy to cook. What are the popular delivery foods in other countries, or is take out and delivery a US thing?

Get it delivered all the time.

The General is so much better right out of the wok I can't get it to go anymore. Beef and Broccoli, Kung Pao, Egg Foo Yung, those kind of dishes can make the trip no worse for wear, imo.

Can't speak for Italy itself, but foods delivered in many countries including China and Thailand. For example, most small Chinese restaurants either themselves or others deliver, western chains KFC and the smaller McDonalds have their own motorbike delivery guys, and Alibaba (ele.me) and tencent (Meituan.Dianping) respectively own good chunks of the 2 biggest delivery services. One thing that's massively different, foods increasingly packaged in paper-only (not styrofoam) and payment's usually by facial-recognition Alipay or other mobile payment methods (no cash, no credit card) even at the smallest restaurants or street stands. Yup, they've leapfrogged the slower to evolve US, e.g., latter still using obsolete paper checks. Thailand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia: different companies, same evolution.

I love that you call it "The General" as I call it the same. It's really all that needs to be said.

I’d take up arms no matter who he picked a war with.

The General is on his way.

Authentic Sichuan. Only way to go. Great restaurant on Mott St in NYC. Burns on the way in - burns on the way out! Rivals a good Mex!

Is it a sign of legitimacy if the delivery person speaks zero point zero English words?
