There are only a few Chinese dishes I won't eat (and I have already tried them to know!)

I do NOT like:

sea cucumber
geoduct
century eggs

I know I haven't tried everything, but I am pretty open about trying things.

Dawn

Ma Po Tofu is my favorite Chinese dish, by far.

I had a lunch special named "Hot & Spicy Beef" from a Chinese place down the street a few days ago...it was very good.

I mostly order chicken wings and vegetable fried rice.

But I also like spareribs and boneless ribs.
Shrimp toast, Lemon chicken, shrimp in garlic sauce, general tso's chicken and chicken broccoli
I used to like lo-mein, but I stopped eating it a while ago. The restaurant in my area cooks it in too much grease

Let's see ... haven't had Chinese since late October (which is kind of odd). Usually I get takeout. Special likes are hot and spicy beef, Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli, cashew chicken, egg rolls and wonton soup. And, of course, the fortune cookies!

From the list I picked lomein, as it is my fav for takeout, but I like many other dishes just as much. I pretty much enjoy any Chinese or Chinese American dish unless it has black bean (don't like the taste) or water chesnut (don't like the texture).

Generally speakig however, I prefer Korean or Veitnamese, followed by Chinese, Japanese then Thai. But it's all good
