Quote from: Malthus on January 04, 2013, 06:39:41 PMIt certainly is not unique to Chinese food. It is just a style that is very often associated with Chinese food. At least, it is here in Canada.

... and in China.

I never had Chinese before coming to Korea, don't know how Chinese restaurants are set up back in RI.

Unless I'm at one for lunch and just order a plate of fired rice, then of course. Nothing else comes in serving size for one, so you have to go with at least one other person and share.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Never had Chinese before that?? Figured that was a universal experience in the US.

Not many Asians in RI.

Had some terriaki chicken on a stick at a Chinese restaurant and bar we'd drink at on Saturday nights, but I never actually ate there.

If you didn't eat it, then what do you mean by "Had some terriaki chicken on a stick" :unsure:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Timmy, as long as you're in Korea you should try the quintessential Korean-Chinese dish: jajangmyun.  I personally can't stand the stuff but the rest of my family swears by it.  Noodles with some kind of funky black sauce on top.

I suspect it's a regional North Chinese or Manchurian dish.

Look for Chinese places that have two menus, then order from the Chinese one. Best options.

Agreed, a place right off base here has the dual menus, and is quite good.  Also, many items on the authentic menu require order 1-2 days in advance. Though the chef is from Hong Kong, and most of the choices are quite spicy.

Though for the western crap, their crab rangoon is damn frickin' good.

As in ate a meal, an appetizer is not a meal.

They put the black sauce on fried rice as well, I like it.

Sorry but that's not a real explanation - the lack of asians front - especially since you were at a Chinese restaurant.

Anyhow, if any of all y'all have reason to come to Vancouver I'll take you to what passes for good Chinese food here :)
