Now, is this REALLY the kind of soup you want?

22

How about some twice-cooked, Szechuan pork, extra-spicy?

(Yes, I know, some restaurants take “extra-spicy” as a personal challenge, but I can hack it.)

I like it SPICY. My Mexican food, too. My friends will say to me when we’re eating out, “Are you enjoying that?” because I appear to be in misery. No, no … I love it!

And a cup of hot-and-sour soup, too, if it isn’t too much trouble.

Is it my imagination, or have the fortunes in the fortune cookies gotten much more general and much more lame lately?

23

Only if it’s from Lucky Great Wall China Panda Garden Express 888. The food at Happy Beijing Jade Taste Dragon Star Wok 999 supposedly has MSG.

24

Well, since this is Chinese food on a message board, I guess I can go off of my diet. I’ll assume you’re going to Magic Wok on Telegraph Road, because it’s the only Chinese food in the world. :slight_smile:

I’ll have sweet-n-sour pork with no vegetables, no gravy, and the sauce on the side; a side of crab rangoon, some sesame chicken to eat cold tomorrow, and some almond cookies. Nummy, nummy, nummy.

25

Pardon me, I meant wonton soup. (I think.)

26

Combo #5.

Aw geez, wish I had seen this thread yesterday! I’m just finishing up breakfast [leftover Jamaican Jerk Chicken (with fresh asparagus and mushrooms) and Coconut Prawns (appetizer) from dinner last evening].

Was more in the mood for Beef and Broccoli and a side order of Hot Wings (and maybe a bowl of Hot-n-Sour soup).

28

I certainly am not one of those types who goes around correcting everyone’s typos. But given the various definitions of the word “wanton,” it was too funny to picture a lewd soup or an undisciplined soup or – however this might be possible – a MALICIOUS soup!

29

Hey, I’ll take the wanton soup. Sounds like fun :stuck_out_tongue:

Chicken kong bao for me, please. And a fried banana.

30

Me, Ching-Chang-Wang-Chow-Fat-So woood like:

Spring Roll ('s vewwwy good!)

Ahh, some Wonton souuup! ('s vewwwy good for the spirit)

Oooo, I’ll take some Poork Friiied Rice, ('s vewwwy good for the head lice) nod wink

Aaaaah, danks you vewwwy much, missus, Wichad Blew. You a vewwwy lovelee lady.

-Beef lo mein.
-Pint of prok fried rice.
-Two egg rolls.
-Extra fortune cookie.
-One Nestea.

32

I too wish I had seen this last night. Cal would like szechuan shredded beef, very spicy, I want strange flavored chicken. Little one wants chicken lo-mein. Also white rice, tea, and fortune cookies, please! Thanks!

33

I think I need that recipe. :smiley:

34

Please!

1 serving of Wor Wonton soup
2 Vietnamese eggrolls (with fish sauce)
Garlic beef or twice cooked pork
Steamed rice

And a bottle of Tsingtao.

35

Crispy eggplant and vegetarian spring rolls please … mmmm

36

General Tso’s chicken

(“who is General Tso, and why are we eating his chicken?”) * Wild Cards *

37

Mu Shu Vegetables, please, and extra-Spicy Eggplant. (The Loved One and I will share.)

Oh, and white rice, please, not brown, and if possible we’d rather have almond cookies than fortune cookies.

Thanks!

38

Szechuan Chicken & Mongolian Beef. I’m sure I can find someone to share with.

An order of those little ribs. My cat loves those.

White rice

I’d also like some pineapple chunks, but someone else can have my fortune cookie-unless there’s ice cream. Fortune cookies crumbled over vanilla ice cream is yummy.

39

You know, up until now I didn’t want soup at all. Now soup sounds like a good idea.

Oh, and an order of hoboy yubet.

40

You’re damn right I’d like some Chinese, Wicky my friend.

I would like:

Chicken and sweetcorn soup
BBQ Ribs (to share messily with partner)
Chicken chow mein
Mushroom fried rice

Good god I love Chinese.
