I'm at the office, wife at home, she's going to pick up a Chinese take away tonight just before I get home. I could ask he to send me a pic of the menu but where's the fun in that.
So what will I have? I like just about everything apart from lemon and ginger based meals.

Oh I was going to say Lemon Chicken and Lamb with Ginger and Spring Onions.
Just pick some numbers, like the lottery.
Although cheesy feet suggestion up there looks pretty good.
Singapore rice. Love it.
Our local used to give you a massive bag of prawn crackers free. Last time I ordered, didn't get any 🙁 nor the soggy bag of raw onion and lettuce, but I didn't miss that.
Tom yum soup - okay not strictly chinese, but done properly it's a wonderful thing,
Also spare ribs, kung po chicken, char sui chow mein, egg flied lice. Oh, and crispy seaweed.

I had chips with a chinese meal in Beijing I shit you not.
Had an 18 hour stop over between flights - so went to a restaurant with a squaddy, a psychiatrist and a Belgian academic. We ate funny fish (some flat fish with tonnes of chilli oil) and chicken with tonnes of chilli oil. It came with fries!
I'm not sure if you're actually in china it's technically classed as a chinese. Can't think too much about that, its like quantum theory. Not that you're incredulity isn't warranted, I've certainly never had steak and kidney pie and crispy noodles down The Ship.
Trust me, I have tried all sorts of Chinese takeaways for years now and I have recently given up all together as realising that it's just plain wrong!
If you have to have a Chinese, I recommend lemon chicken and spring onion egg fried rice topped with crispy seaweed but prepare for a heart attack after gorging on crispy seaweed.
If it can be a different take out then Thai and order a coconut sticky rice to accompany your chosen dish of desire/death.
Now if I have to get a takeaway it's a fancy Indian.

Surely that's got to be the start of a joke?
Yeah and all four of them got a case of Chinese sore eye 😆
Cream of sum yung guy?
Are you hungry yet? God, I love stereotypes.
Foreign muck
[i]If you have to have a Chinese, I recommend lemon chicken[/i]
Clearly you didn't read the original post. I can't stand lemon chicken.
Had king prawn satay, wife chose salt and chlli crispy chicken. It was amazing and I'm still alive and healthy.
Damn it now I want chinese!
For once, I just read the title and not the whole op, it's about takeaways after all.
Sounds like you chose ok then, sooner or later, you'll regret it though 😆
Its true that uk chineese takeaways are crap. There are good uk based chineese reaserants but I've never found a good take away.
