Real Chinese Food - do you like it?!
I think everybody likes the salty Chinese food you eat at take out places and buffets or even fine dinning places like PF Changs, but have you ever had real Chinese!? I ate a Chinese food place in Chinatown when I was in California and it was so odd I couldn't decide if I liked it or not!. The sticky rice in a grape leaf was kind of normal, the steamed dumplings were good, but the other mystery dishes were almost more than I could stomach!. I didn't know what to think about their frosting either!. It wasn't sweet at all, I think it's made like ours, but instead of lard and sugar, I think it's lard and rice flour!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To me it is all about personal preferences, and marketing as well!. I found some tasty dishes, and some less tasty, healthy and unhealthy, and so on!.!.!. But, I found the same in many other, less known ethnic cuisines with virtualy no marketing!. Even tastier!.!.!. to my preferences!.

I do like some real Chinese food, but sometimes have issues with some of the seafood dishes!. That's just because I didn't grow up eating seafood at all, so I get a little squeamish around it!.
My advice is to try it again!. Sometimes things taste totally different the second time you try it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've been privileged to have had Chinese food cooked by Chinese cooks a few times!. I have found this food to be very good indeed!. It is much different from the 'American-Sino' stuffy wuffy we get here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
