Agreed, and why do places put a lemon wedge in my water?
So as to wash one's hands in between courses!
If I occasionally have KFC or the BK Lounge, Wendy's, whatever I can deal with pepper steak and shoots every 4-5 weeks.

On my one time visit to Beijing... I had a business meeting with a group that was "putting on the dog" so to speak with a dinner to impress us.
I understood that the more exotic the meal... the more impressed we were supposed to be....
Our hosts did not have much English but had an assistant who had great English skills.
There was a large hot pot in the center of the round restaurant dining table that we all served from.
We'd ask about the different items as we served them to our bowls. To this we'd get a very detailed explaination from the assistant... until I was serving an unusual floating item.
I asked, "Now what is this?" She paused, looked at us and thought.... then she said, "MEAT".
I guess that I should have followed the "Don't ask... don't tell dining policy."

Cambridge, Mass. Birthplace of the Thai king, that is.
(Found out that tidbit in a fortune cookie.)
I have had Chinese food in NYC, DC, San Francisco, Honolulu, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Penang, among other places. (Never been to the PRC.) I like it all.

I like Chinese food, especially Hunan and Sichuan style, but rarely eat out due to very limited income. Normally if I eat the stuff I've prepared it myself at home.
I actually prefer Korean, the soul food of Asia in my opinion--earthy, garlicky, fiery, and featuring wonderful soups that are meals in themselves.

I had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant once, first and last time. The food was so spicy, the locals were breaking out in a cold sweat!

Probably the best and freshest Chinese food I've ever eaten was in Paris France. Kinda freaks you out though when you have a Chinese waiter, speaking with a French accent recommending Chinese food in English.

The question for me should be how many times a YEAR, and that would be less than one. Been 4 years since I had Chinese food.

I've lived in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Consequently I can say with absolute confidence - the food is OK. I have often thought every toxicology student should be required to visit China since if the Chinese do not eat it, it must be poisonous. I have seen people eat large fruit bats, raw monkey brains, beetles, snakes (mostly drinking cobra blood), and other unsavory things. Chinese, Thai, and Malaysian food I have eaten here bears only the slightest resemblance to that in the native countries. No thanks, I'll have a Big Mac if you please.

Used to go about once a week....
It used to be economical for several people to go eat Chinese, but now, like everything else, it's just too darned expensive.
Two sources of cheap good food here
Sanno Grill - Hibachi take out that costs about $3.50 for steak, rice and carrots. With the white and ginger sauce.....YUM!
Los Arcos - incredibly good Mexican and still dang cheap.
Oh, favorite Chinese - Egg Foo Yung, Sweet and Sour Pork, Sesame chicken, Flied Lice, Hot and Sour Soup and Egg drop soup of course. General Tso, Pepper Steak, chicken chow mein and Egg Rolls as long as they are loaded with Cabbage.

Lately at least once a week. I got one of those Garlic chili sauce containers about a month back, and was using it on everything, not just Chinese (although it's best with it). I bought 2 more as I went through the first too fast. It was funny I saw them in the fridge just earlier and thought, tomorrow i'll do chinese

If you only knew what happened in kitchens behind closed door you would not want to eat out any more!
A few times a year, and when I get it, I get curried chicken. That seems to be one of the healthier choices, little fat, all white meet, lots of flavor.

We don't get it often but do enjoy some now and then. We have a small local place that has good food and reasonable prices. I was going to suggest it last night but my wife was too tired out from work.
I used to work near a Chinese restaurant that was very good and fast for lunch. We'd call our order in ahead of time and have it ready when we got there after a short walk. Always got their lunch portion and still had leftovers to take home.
There was a Chinese buffet near another one of my stores we sometimes went to. It would get kind of embarrassing going with a couple of my coworkers that went up multiple times. The food was good too and a nice variation so you didn't get tired of it.
