That is a great beer.
Started by German settlers in China in 1903, survived numerous wars, revolutions and occupations. Because everyone likes a good beer after a hard day at work.
Most of the stuff isn't really true chinese food, as it's not really things Chinese families regularly eat. It's more like Fusion food, Chinese style food adapted to the American market.Anyone here like American Chinese food?
My favorites are;
Moo Goo Gai Pan, General Tso Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, Sweet And Sour Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Pork Fried Rice.
When I lived in Tampa, FL. there was a big Chinese family owned restaurant near my house. They only had 3 tables to dine at. Their main sales were from take out. Every time I called in an order, be it 1 item, or 10 items, it was always, "10 MINUTE!"
This is the best Chinese food I've ever had, if you ever get to the Hong Kong-Macau ferry terminal. Fish balls.

I prefer traditional, but I do enjoy the local's chicken w/ peanuts in spicy sauce. Something's got to get you, might as well be tasty
I love gunpowder tea!
Crab Rangoon is my favorite.
At the pharmaceutical factories I've visited in China, we dine in a private room with catered in food. Only time we ate in a sketchy restaurant was down in Fuzhou. Everything up further north was great except this restaurant on a moored ship that my escorts took me to that I vetoed. My first trip to China was supposed to be 12 days but extended out to 3 weeks with 6 internal flights. Flew into Beijing 4 times in 3 weeks.
My next door neighbors owned a Chinese restaurant but something has happened. The restaurant is closed and many of the family no longer lives next to me. I went there once. The food was not that good.
The Thai restaurants near me are better than the Chinese restaurants so that is where we go. Love me some Pad See Ew.
I enjoy watching Xiaomanyc's videos on youtube. He's a goofy polyglot American guy who goes into Chinese restaurants or in Chinatown acting like a naïve goofy American but then starts conversing in perfect Mandarin and films the Chinese people's reaction. He knows where to find the good food. Sometimes he hits up a Chinese restaurant and no one speaks any Chinese. He doesn't stay long at them. LOL. He also speaks Cantonse and the Fuzhou dialect. He's becoming too famous for his own good and many of the restaurant employees are starting to recognize him when he walks in. Some of the smallest hole in the walls have the best food.
I really dig the pepper chicken with onions, fried rice and two egg rolls on the side.
Yep!
Im so old it was " La Choy Makes Chinese Food- Swing American - Why not?"
Not sure how this ended up here, but I'm sure it's going to be moved to a more appropriate forum.
That being said, I don't normally like Americanized Chinese food, although that doesn't necessarily stop me from eating it. Perhaps that comes from living in an areas where there's no shortage of regional Chinese cuisine available.
My favorite is dry-style beef chow fun from this restaurant in San Francisco Chinatown on the corner of Broadway and Powell.

There are 3 or 4 Chinese restaurants in the town I live near. One stood above the others, IMO. They closed for a few months for the pandemic, but now that they are open again, it just seems their heart just isn't in it anymore. The food quality dropped as you can tell they are using cheaper ingredients, presumably to make up for the losses. All in all, the owners just look tired. Like they say - All goods must come to an end.
Add in ginger beef ( deep fried..heard it was a Calgary thing), and pork dumplings.
