Chinese Top Takeaway Dishes

Ever wondered about the best and most popular Chinese takeaway foods available today? Whilst many people have their favourites, the same items crop up again and again on top five or top ten lists in every country where the Chinese takeaway is appreciated. Take a look at the top 5 selection below and see if your favourite is amongst them!

Hot and Sour Soup

The most popular soup by far and a dish that has no real equivalent in western cooking. The soup can be dark or light and everyone has a preference, but the quality of this soup is normally a good first indicator of a quality Chinese takeaway. It’s worth ordering this dish alone and checking out the quality. If it’s good then you can be sure that the other dishes which follow will also be good. ??Shrimp with Chinese Vegetables
Not available at every Chinese takeaway, but if you find it on a menu then try it. The vegetables are a perfect accompaniment to the delicate shrimp flavours.

Scallops in Garlic Sauce
Now here’s a real crowd pleaser! The sweetness of the scallops and the essence of garlic are a fantastic combination. Some takeaways don’t put in enough garlic but other than that it’s an easy dish to find and one that’s even better to eat.

Kung Pao Chicken?One of the more spicy dishes available in a Chinese takeaway, this dish was voted as the best dish ever in a recent poll on Chinese takeaway food. Watch out for the spices, they can really make your eyes water!

Shrimp Lo Mein
Again, not a dish that can be found everywhere but it’s fantastic when you do. The dish is noodles with shrimps, vegetables and all coated with the most amazing sauce.

Barbecue Spare Ribs
This is a very popular dish, as an appetizer or main course and almost impossible to eat without ruining your clothes! You can often see piles of Chinese ribs being eagerly consumed by diners everywhere and it is the most popular takeaway dish in many countries, but particularly in the United States, where the barbecue flavour adds to its popularity. 

The most striking feature of Chinese food is the variety of flavours and textures. One great example is the crunchiness and softness of Hot and Sour Soup with both heat from the peppers and a sour taste to add interest. This makes the dish an excellent example of the contrasts to be found in Chinese takeaway food.

The best dimsum ever! - 2009-12-06 11:27:26

Review:
I chanced on this little gem a few years ago and now it has become an extension of my own home. At Phoenix Palace you are greeted with a genuine warm smile by members of staff who truly care. The restaurant is spacious and cosy and wth ample seating all round. Private parties or bookings are well catered for if booked in advance. The food is simply to die for. On offer is dimsum from mid-day and right upt o late in the afternoon. The dimsum is well prepared, tasty and fresh. Careful planning and time has gone into preparing the food and each dimsum portion retains its own characteristic and signature. You cannot go wrong with any of the food so go ahead and order anything you like and you will be pleasantly surprised. A la carte is available throughout the day but my personal preference is dimsum. Try the Vietnamese spring rolls, or prawn dumpligs. for the adventurous, chicken feet are a must. Phoenix Palace delivers locally and take away is available. If you are visiting London then Phoenix Palace is a must, go ahead and enjoy!
