What do you eat?

I wonder if your Chinese take-out is the same as ours? I know that our "Chinese" take-out is extremely "Americanized" (kind of like how Tex-Mex food is different from authentic Mexican food).

The other day I made brownies. And then I ate them all.

I regret nothing.

Well, 'Chinese' food in the Netherlands nearly always means 'Chinese-Indonesian', but otherwise I think the dishes are authentic to their regions/cultures of origin.
Which isn't to say that the dishes are the same as yours though. The restaurant's standard combo-meal has Ku Low Yok (deep-fried breaded pork balls with fruity sweet-sour sauce), Fu Yong Hai (omelet in sweet-sour sauce), Babi Pangang (roasted pork strips in sweet-sour sauce), Satay (chicken meat on a stick in peanut sauce), Nasi Goreng (fried rice), and fried shrimp. Another popular dish is Chap Choy (veggies and chicken cooked in broth).

[Kinokokao]

No, those dishes are entirely different from our standard fare. I would say the most popular/common Chinese take-out foods here are:


Sweet and Sour Chicken (fried chicken puffs with sweet and sour sauce on the side)


Sesame Chicken (fried chicken in a sweet, almost teriyaki style glaze)


Szechuan Beef (strips of beef stir-fried in spicy glaze)


Broccoli Beef (beef stir-fried with broccoli)

Egg Drop Soup or Won Ton Soup is often a given side, along with steamed or fried rice, and an egg roll.



This box is pretty much required, if nothing else than for the rice.
