oooh, what a yummy giveaway!
My favorite Chinese dish (though it’s really hard to choose) would probably be Chicken Chow Fun, I love the texture of the wide rice noodles and whatever sauce/seasoning is on it is always so yummy!
I love pomelos and eat them and get them early for the chinese new year, also love love some lobster tucked into rice paper rolls eatable rice paper rolls, steamed with plum sauce, I make them myself…Happy Year of the Drago water dragon at that…I adore ferrero chocolates and get them for gifts for my family and friends all year thru, superior chocolates..would love to win this contest oh, my would start the water dragon year out on a very sweet note..thanks for your blogs, happy happy new year (water dragon) soon..mary jane sampson from momanddad00@clear.net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, I don’t live in Australia and I don’t have a favourite Chinese NY dish. Other than that I would be happy to receive that awesome package:)
Hi Lorraine, sadly I am not able to win (but that’s OK too, I’m trying to be good after the holidays and these would be totally impossible to resist. I’ll tell you my favourite Chinese dish is General Tso’s Chicken or maybe Lemon Chicken. I wouldn’t turn down a taste of either. Happy New Year!
Chicken feet, because when you eat it in front of non chicken feet eaters, the look on their face is priceless:)
I want to know why Fererro Kuesschen are not sold in Australia. I think they were once….Maybe Ferro Kisses or something similar? Does anyone know?
I’m a sucker for salt & pepper squid. I don’t know how authentic it is, but I do know that when I have it at Yum Cha, my tastebuds would happily retire afterward, feeling like they have lived a fulfilling life!
You know I love Ferrero Rocher….
There is absolutely something very unique about this chocolate..
I wish I was in Australia…
How can you not resist Peking duck! Delicious Crispy skin wrapped in pancake with spring onions, cucumber and hoisin sauce. Perfect finger food that can easily be over eaten as they are so tasty!
Favourite Chinese Dish? But I have so many! But if I have to pin it down to that one dish I rarely have it would either be Peking Duck, or Lo Ma Kai. Oooo yeah. I do love some glutinous rice.
My very favourite Chinese meal is sweet and sour pork. I know it has a bad name because we’ve done some bad things to this dish here in Australia but if Kylie Kwong cooks it for you it’s amazing. And my interesting fact about those Ferrero chocolate balls is that I’ve heard the filling around the hazelnut is none other than…Nutella!
I have not eaten much Chinese, but recently I shared a hot and sour fish fillet dish with a friend in chinatown. The white fish was tender in a way I’ve never known white fish to be.
I also can’t get enough of basic chinese fried rice.
I wish I lived in Australia!
Interesting fact indeed! The gift box looks awesome but sadly I am out of the running. My favourite chinese dish – roast duck!
Since childhood I’ve had a thing for cashew chicken, but last night I dreamed of a lovely noodle dish.
So many choices but probably if I could only ever have one then it would have to be Mongolian Lamb
My favorite would have to be Yee Sang – a dish which is only served during Chinese New Year. A delicious salad of raw fish and multitude of delicious bits that have been hard to replicate with authenticity in Sydney. Having said that beggars can’t be choosers, so I get my fix from Temasek Restaurant in Parramatta!
Is curried prawns, because it is my husband’s favourite, I don’t like prawns so this is one of the few times he gets to eat them.
Looking forward to a contest outside of Australia!
Schezhun Chicken as i love the flavours and you can make it look as colourful as you want
I am a huge fan to a delicious dumpling. I will search everywhere for the perfect dumplings.
A close friend of mine is Chinese and I’ve been fortunate enough to celebrate Chinese new year with her family. One memorable dish for me is a whole steamed snapper fish in a gorgeous soy based sauce. I’m not sure how traditional it is but the father cooks this dish and it is always greeted with oohs and aaaahs before it is devoured!
Sweet and Sour Duck. Actually, I love the combination of flavours in sweet and sour anything.
A classic dish – sweet and sour pork
Happy Chinese New Year! Perhaps not a dish, more a style, dim sum/ yum cha all those little lovelies! We call them Yummy Cha at our house!
Almost anything at Yan Toh Heen at the Intercontinental Hotel in Hong Kong. Gorgeous food, gorgeous restaurant, gorgeous city. I love it! Especially if you get one of the window tables where you can see the Symphony of Light
Duck pancakes… yum! You get the gorgeousness of the duck, the crunch from the vegetables, that tang from the sauce and you get to eat it with your fingers. What’s not to love about that?
Fortune cookies
and I just like beef with vegetables/cashew with plain steamed rice.
My favourite chinese dish would have to be Mapo tofu! My mother recently stumbled across one of those sauce packs about half a year ago and it was delicious! This then prompted us to the internet for the best map tofu recipes! For a few months we would try one each week! Yum! Thinking about it now makes me think it might be on the dinner menu tonight!
* to search the internet
Chinese food is so varied and always delicious (although i do draw a line at eating silkworm pupae or grasshoppers on skewers) but one of my all-time favourites is the gorgeous bbq’ed pork steam buns sold on most streets in any Chinese town or city. A delicious handful!
Oooh, I have lots of favourite Chinese dishes, but I will go for the Westernised dish, sweet and sour pork, with tons of veges and pineapple in the sauce – mmmmmm.
I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates!
What a great giveaway. My favourite Chinese dish is the Sang Chow Bow, I just love the freshness, flavour and healthiness of the dish. I have to save room for my chocolates
Sticky, savoury, sweet Char Siu pork with rice and greens. Yum!
Yum, what a cool competition! My favourite Chinese dish would definitely be salt and pepper tofu. I can eat that everyday.
Peking duck – we go to our local Chinese and order the whole duck and get pancakes, soup and a noodle dish (so I guess that’s really 3 dishes – if I have to choose one it would be the pancakes!) but it is AMAZING! I love it because it’s fresh, crispy and the flavours complement it each other beautifully!
I love my local noodle bar; not strictly Chinese, but always fresh, tasty, and amazing value. A steaming hot bowl of Dumpling Noodle Soup is just amazing comfort food.
My favourite Chinese dish is anything off the yum cha menu! I especially love pork buns!
Hi Lorraine,
My favourite dish is Kong Bak Bau, because it is like the American burger but BETTER! Freshly steamed mantou buns with braised pork belly… Don’t forget to have more mantou on hand to mop up the sauce.
Thanks NQN and Ferrero and HCNY!
My favourite chinese dish is chilli mud crab
Wow what a scrumptious prize!!
My favourite Chinese dish is actually a peasant dish. Plain steamed buns (mantou) with pickled chilli turnips.
I always have fond memories whenever I eat this as it reminds me of being back at my mum’s place, sitting around the table and a much simpler time
What a gorgeous gift box! My favourite Chinese dish would have to be prawn gow gee and anything yum cha. I even like the marinated chickens feet
Drunken Chicken, it’s so tender, succulent and perfect for a summer night
I feel like I’ve been so lucky with your giveaways, so will leave this to others. But I will say I had no idea forrero rochers were so popular in HK during CNY. Wow! Reminds me that this time last year I was there!!!
Heidi xo
That is easy. My favourite Chinese dish is the Yee Sang. When I was living in Malaysia and Singapore I have them almost every day during Chinese New Year. Will be making them for the coming Chinese New Year.
As a woman of simple tastes, nothing beats a wonderfully cooked satay chicken.
Anything along the Honey Chicken line is always a favourite in this house… Our local restaurant makes the crunchiest and gooeyist dish – it is delicious.
HONEY KING PRAWNS BECAUSE I LOVE THE COMBINATION OF SWEETNESS OF HONEY WITH SUCCULENT, MEATY PRAWNS, AND THE CRUNCH OF THE CRISP BATTER…YUM,,,IT’S AN ORGASM OF TASTES!
i love money bags. I had them on my first date with my now husband and we both have to eat them on a regular bias. Lets hope in the new year we get lots of money in bags
Anything from the Yum Cha menu!
Tasty little bite size morsels, that allow tasting and smatering of different combinations, textures and flavours
I love Beef in Black Bean Sauce…. because it’s sooo delicious, of course.
I love fried icecream, the crunch and hot and cold sends my tastebuds to heaven ♥
I like Lemongrass Chicken with Cashews because it always tastes good.
My favourite Chinese dish is Peking Duck. It’s something I will never attempt to cook for myself, why would I when Chinatown is in the next suburb to me, and as such remains dish for special occasions. Yum!!
My favourite chinese dish is rice noodles served with satay sauce and some steamed veggies.
Ohhh to be a winner
Its good to be in the running!! Hmmmmm favourite dish………….has to be Honey Chicken!! I know BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG but when its made properly oh.my.gosh I eat wayyyyyyyy too much of it!!
Peking Duck with Crispy Noodles Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
YUMMY O and don’t forget the SPECIAL DUCK SAUCE.
I love my xiao long baos!
My favourite would be spicy black bean noodles I had in Hong Kong. A simple dish of aromatic ginger, garlic, chilli and black beans dressing plump noodles. The chef told me that the beans had fermented for several years and they were rich and delicious.
Dim sims. A nice tasty treat with soya sauce. Fried or steamed. I could eat them forever especially with beer.
My favorite is sizzling beef. It always catches the attention of others when its rushed to your table.
I love emperor’s puffs, the sweet custard in the delicate pastry is supreme-no matter how many I buy it is not enough.
So many Chinese Dishes i love its hard to make a choice but if i have it it has to be hot satay beef with noodles love all the peanuts and the satay sauce only problem is our chinese shop does not put enough satay sauce so i add extra.
Peking Duck Mmmmmmh I love this because since I ordered it the first time when I was 10 yrs old it struck me as yummy and it looked sooo good. The Duck has never failed to please me
I love the chilli and eggplant dishes…some have a little pork mince in them, some don’t. The version at SeaBay Restaurant, which has a slight sugar toffee coating on the eggplant is my very favourite.
Kung Hei Fat Choy! (I’m a Water Dragon, so I have great hopes for an excellent 2012!)
This truly is a beautiful Saturday prize! Besides the quality of the offerings I love that a number of small boxes are included and one can gift some of these to one’s very favourite people
! Now Chinese cooking covers such a huge spectrum of different foods: how can one choose? Yet today my mind wanders to the old Cantonese cuisine of yore and my very favourite of abalone in oyster sauce! Two reasons perchance: it is such a sublimely elegant dish with a taste beyond compare – secondly and sadly, my purse these days simply does not reach to that precious seafood and I have to close my eyes and remember 
!
Asian stir-fried greens are healthy, fragrant, and one of the Chinese dishes that I can easily replicate.
chinese fried rice is my favorite. i love it by itself or with other dishes, yum.
My favorite dish would be Beef and Black Bean Sauce served over authentic Chinese Fried Rice.
Yu Sheng which you would find in Singapore where we toss for good fortune for the new year. Not to mention it is so healthy since it is full of veg!
Kung Hai Fat Choi! Lorraine,
My favourite would have to be Peking Duck,that crispy skin and the soft flesh,the brushing of the pancake with hoisin sauce,all add to the occasion of the eating experience,the yin and the yang,so much effort put into the eye and the palate.
It’s hard to choose! At the moment.. probably anything from Yum cha! especially sticky rice. However I’m going to singapore next month and I’m sure I’ll find something else to love, I’m so excited about hawker food!! =D
I can’t eat Ferrero Rocher because of the gluten but it has always been my mum’s favourite chocolate, so I’d love to win for her.
I love Chinese omelettes. I also love all varieties of Asian leafy green veggies.
I’d love to try chicken feet, but I don’t know who prepares them so they’re gluten free!
my favourite chinese dish is steamed veges served with fried rice and honey soy sauce. sounds very ordinary but tastes delicious.!
Ohhh it’s so hard to choose only one but- I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Honey Prawns, sweet and soggy and soo nice to eat!
Its my birthday in 2 weeks and this would be a lovely present- nah just saying
xoxoxo Amanda
Cantonese roast duck taken off the bone,strips put into Mandarin crepes with hoisin sauce has everyone rolling their eyes to food heaven with its succulent satisfaction. Roll on the “Year of the Dragon” and Chinese food goodies.
Peking Duck! It’s become tradition for my husband and I to have Peking Duck when we want to celebrate. I also love dumplings and could eat them everyday
My favourite is honey chicken with vegetables and I always throw in cashews when I bring it home just because it adds that bit extra
We have chinese new year dinner at mum and dads every year, it’s hard to pick a favourite as everything is delicious but if I had to pick one dish it would be braised abalone with shitake mushrooms. It’s a special occasion dish in my family and always cooked with love. Family dinners are always a little stressful and crazy but Chinese new year is the one occasion of the year for us that when we sit down and eat we are grateful for what we have and the loved ones in our life. Happy Chinese New Year
waking up with NotquiteNigella is waking up with fun, every morning something new and Ferrero chocies, Chinese New Year all these things make it an awesome year
peking duck although it is not the healthiest meal
Looking at the other posts tells me we will be having a Chinese meal tonight. I love roast duck, but I often cant go past fried kway teow noodles with seafood. Just Yummy
Has to be the Chinese steamed bun.
Delicious steamed bread and then the fun…
As you reach the middle a gorgeous surprise,
Pork filling, the most delicious ending prize!
Char siew pao steamed buns. These were my absolute favourite snack to but whenever I visited Kobe Chinatown, when I was living in Japan. I could eat them 24/7.
Many many years ago when my family lived in East Africa, my parents took us to our first ever visit to a Chinese Restaurant, even today I can still remember how exciting it was. This was my first ever try of sweet and sour pork. I’ve loved sweet and sour pork ever since, but I don’t think any I’ve eaten has been as delicious as the memory of my first taste.
My fav Chinese dish is definatly Sung Choi Bao of Pork.
Its so filling and yummy.
I adore those deep fried glutinous rice balls with the red bean paste in the middle and the sesame seeds on the outside… I just love the sesame flavour, the crisp outer and the chewy and sweet inside mmmm
my favourite dish would have to be my mum’s delicious tiger prawns in tomato sauce with a kick of chilli. so homely. i miss it so much!
my favourite dish would be salt and pepper pork with egg fried rice because it reminds me of my childhoood where mum would reward my other 3 siblings and 1 with it after completing all our homework.
Steamed wontons. Any filling. Yumbo.
im so homesick now! craving all sorts of chinese food! but my facourite would be shanghainese rice cakes with shredded cabbage and pork because it reminds me so much of home!
I dont often eat chinese as I find most restaurants duplicate the same thing (Ive obviously not eaten authentic dishes) but I would say the simple dishes r always a winner. Not sure what its named but the cabbage leaf filled with mince and shredded vegies. YUM
Recently, I’ve come to love BBQ Pork Buns! even though it’s not really a dish.
Roast pork with crackling. Yummy!
my mum has always made us a shallot tofu which is thinly sliced tofu with soya sauce, home made xo sauce and shallots in between. i love this dish not only because it is healthy but its so light, saving room for more other foods!
my mum makes a fabulous pork chop and tomato baked rice. it is exactly like the ones you find at the hk style cafes.
Deep fried ice-cream. Textural amazingness! Hot crispy crumbs over cold vanilla icecream and that squigee layer of sponge cake. My favourite!
I cannot walk away from a menu with Honey Chicken and Fried Rice, it’s my MUST eat when having Chinese. The sticky sweet sauce on the chicken and the wok prepared smokiness of the rice is just perfection in my mouth!
Love San dong chicken … I savour the sauce each time so sweet and spicy at the same time with the fresh chilli, not to mention the crispy skin of the chicken and the moist meat! Yum and I love to smother my white rice with the sauce it’s so good it’s my staple dish if I don’t want to gamble with my dinner choices. Making me hungry thinking about it
)
Barbequed Pork with Plum Sauce, with a side of special fried rice. I’m salivating at the thought of it, it’s my absolute favourite.
mmm would have to be Roast Duck Noodle Soup with Ho Fun Noodles, even when its 40 degrees I’ll still be tempted to order it. Just love the rich succulent duck and slurping up the silky noodles with clear soup. Hope you have a fantastic Chinese New Year!
To choose one is impossible! After living out in country Vic for over a month now I miss being able to get any Chinese food! Ive started making my own dumplings but miss the amazing BBQ meats and glorious shallot pancakes from Chinatown
My daughter and family have lived in China for 4 years. She is an amazing cook [and linguist- she teaches Mandarin in a school] and her twice cooked red pork is to die for.
I don’t have a favourite but would happily sit down to a Chinese Banquet with a group of my best friends and share great food and company
My favourite Chinese dish,
Is a meal based on fish.
A seafood delight of some-sort,
Goes down well with a glass of Port.
Mongolian lamb, sizzling!
Whole Suckling Pig, obviously reserved for special occasions, but so delicious.
FRIED RICE. Versatile and delicious. Various ingredients can be added and many different flavours produced.
My favourite Chinese dish would have to be century egg jok. Most importantly, the jok needs to be silky smooth…. Mmmm…
simply peking duck shared with a friend. I love the tradition process and the taste is sensational.
My favorite Chinese New Year dish is braised pork & shark fin soup.
When I make a recipe with rice I make extra and then the next night make Special Fried Rice. I use up my vegies from the fridge and freezer, leftovers such as bacon, ham etc and cans of veg.
Each version ends up different but its a good way of stretching the budget and using up stuff.
Beef in Black Bean Sauce is probably my favourite with garlic chicken a close second
fried rice with prawns as its simple, delish and the kids all eat it, kick chop sticks.
Lo-o-ove Honey Chicken, but my favourite Chinese “dish” would have to be Jackie Chan, lol!
those oval shaped glutinous rice puff balls at yum cha… they are deep fried, I think, puffy, airy, filled with brilliant stuff like prawn and snow pea or sweet pork in a rich sauce… or mushroom and garlic and chicken mince… oh my, i could eat them all my life and not get bored. Sadly, I don’t know their Chinese name, and even if I did, I probably couldn’t pronounce it right. lol
I know they are bad for me but I love any type of spring roll. I think its the crispy batter that gets me.
i find it hard picking just one dish there are many that i like the ones i have most often are prawn and chicken wonton soup and mu shu pork i suppose out of these it would have to be the wonton soup as im a big soup fan at any time regardless what it is
Mmmm…Chicken with seasonal mixed vegetables and cashews along with special fried rice..
Kung Hei Fat Choy
Satay steak, special fried rice and crispy chow mein noodles. The different textures and tastes make this the most delish dish
Scallion Pancakes served by hubby in bed, its our anniversary tradition
love them and him 
Grandma’s tofu- my favourite of all times.
So many variations of this dish & I love them all.
It’s hard to decide I really love Honey King Prawns, Sweet n Sour Pork or Chicken and Almonds. And a side serve of Prawn Crackers too.
My stomach is grumbling just trying to pick one… Warm egg custard tarts with the flaky pastry… I think I’m going to have to go out for yum cha now…
My favourite Chinese dish is the traditional Steamboat.
Our friends invited us over to their house for a very long Sunday lunch that lasted all afternoon. They served the best Chinese Steamboat banquet ever. They prepared a great selection of dishes like marinated meats, fish, seafood, poultry, vegetables and noodles for us to dip into a most delicious simmering broth to cook and eat. Until today, it is the most memorable Sunday luncheon of my life.
I love everything Chinese, my favorite thing to do is go out and share a banquet with many friends. If I had to pick a favorite I would say Sizzling Mongolian Lamb, I love its unique authentic spiciness.
Something I could happily eat everyday would be jiaozi (northern style dumpling) – either boiled or pan-fried.
Scallion pancakes! My best friend’s mother is Chinese… we used to go over to her house almost every day after school and she’d make them for us. No wonder I gained like.. 30 kilograms during high school hahaha.
Pork belly, crunchy on top and the pork is so delicious dipped in soya sauce with chilli, sweet as a slice of Heaven! I could eat plates of it.
My favorite Chinese dish would have to be steam ginger and shallots oysters and abalone.. Yum!
My brother is both a Chef and an exporter of Painted Lobsters, his wife is Asian and also a wonderful cook, last visit I tried Lobster Numus, Asian Lobster Omelete but his Honey Lobster was to die for – unfortunately nothing compares now!!
My favourite Chinese dish is pan-fried “gao zhi” (as said in Cantonese) with soup inside the meat and vegetable filling. I love the crunchiness of the base, and how the soup runs out steaming hot as you take a bite into the filling. Comfort food indeed.
FAVOURITE dish: after traveling down LI river on a bamboo raft, stopover at Yangshuo for tofu and green beans in Turtle broth
My favourite is “chicken and cashews”. I know that it is a very simple dish but it is ohhhh so tasty and even my children adore it and for them to eat it is amazing. So go the Chicken and cashew.
i must admit that i haven’t eaten a lot of chinese food, but i love peking duck, folded into a deliciously soft pancake…yum!
It’s perhaps not original – but San Choy Bow. I love the contrast of the crunchy lettuce and the soft mince, the water chestnuts, the vegetables – the whole experience really. We used to go to the local Chinese restaurant every week and the highlights were always the perfectly shaped lettuce cups and the hot towels (both felt exotic!). I am now teaching my small people to love it too.
My favorite Chinese dish would have to be Peking duck. About 10 years ago we were in Beijing and were the only people in this local resteraunt that was obviously off the tourist route. There were about 15 waiters staning around the room watching these storage westerners eating.
the Chinese food we have available here is worse than food court food.
Swimming in sauce and no flavour.
So I avoid it. I have made my own lemon chicken but I am pretty sure it isn’t authentically Chinese.
I love me some Indian and Mexican… maybe you can suggest something for me to try?
Spring Rolls & Plum Sauce are easily the most delicious finger food around. Our local Chinese restaurant stuffs so many yummy vegetables in them. Great for anytime & especially for entertaining.
My favourite dish would most definitely have to be ‘xiao long bao’ eaten the traditional way with soy sauce, vinegar and ginger!
2012 entering the year of the Dragon. I would have to say my favourite Chinese food is Pot Stickers that are steamed, well at least that is one of my favourites. I do love all kinds of Chinese food.
I love hot and sour soup, and steamed fish with ginger and shallots and soy
And probably lots of other things that are actually Thai or Vietnamese or such 
Oops I forgot to add the and Why… I love those little dumplings filled with meat and veggies. The different fillings and varieties just can’t be beat, order a mix on a plate and every one is a surprise. That’s why.
I just love Chinese food, one of my favourites is Pork in Plum Sauce – Plum sauce and pork are just perfect together.
Cashew chicken – which is even tastier when cooked for me by my husband after I get home from a long day at the office! The recipe we use is in Kylie Kwong’s ‘Simple Chinese Cooking’ and it reminds me of a fabulous meal that we had at Billy Kwong for my 30th. Special memories.
I love duck but hate cooking it! So I love any kind of Chinese Duck dish
Beef and black bean. It’s like me: a classic (and beefy).
my fav chinese dish is sweet and sour pork as it brings back memories of chinese restaurant visits with my parents as a kid and it was such a treat and zoo exotic back then. My how times have changed!
I have to agree with Rhiannon- it’s Peking Duck. It flys above all the others
Vegetables in oyster sauce … what a great way to get some greens in to me and the kids!
Love entertaining my family with homemade chinese fried rice full of shallots, corn, peas and bacon lightly fried in peanut oil and soy sauce for a full bodied flavour both pleasing and satisfying!
I love steamed pork buns but they’re not usually available in my neck of the woods.
Isn’t nice that chocolate is so international.
Love vegetarian spring rolls. Could eat them everyday, all day.
crab stuffed prawns dipped in crumbs and deep fried then served with delicious sate sauce made with a dash of curry powder, dry sherry and thickened cream – truly special for a red envelope day!
I have a lot of favourites. However, wonton/dumplings come to mind. My 11yo daughter loves it as we both have fun making it together. Mind you, she can eat 2 dozens of them in one seating.
My husband, myself and my daughter… We are all born on the year of the dragon! Wishing it will be a good year for us and for everyone else! Happy New Year!
My favourite chinese takeaway food in chicken with cashew. I like the subtle flavour- yum!
CANNOT GO PAST PEKING DUCK LOVE IT EVEN SEEING THEM DISPLAYED NEAR THE WINDOW MY MOUTH DROOLS.
Mine is steamed eggplant… I never liked eggplant until I tried some at a Chinese restaurant that had been marinated in a delicious, spicy sauce!
Shrimp in Lobster Sauce because it reminds me of very special dinners with my in-laws; its the dish my oldest daughter always ordered when we went to their favorite Chinese restaurant.
Double cooked pork..oh yum!!
My favorite Chinese dish is hand painted rice bowl that a friend brought back from China for me as a gift. It is so beautiful and the pattern is so delicate.
San Choy Bow.. Who would’ve thought lettuce could be so fun??!! YUMMM!
There is this FANTASTIC Chinese place just down the road from where I live. Best part, they are open really late so you can always get a yummy meal. I think my fav is a simple dish but one they do so well! Sweet and Sour pork, it always hits the spot.
My favourite is stinky tofu! The smell is so pungent but the fried tofu is so tasty and the look of disgust on my brother’s face while I’m eating it: Gold!
Moon cakes are absolutely brilliant – tasty and irresistible!!!
My favourite Chinese dish is Toffee Apple, why because no matter how hard I’ve tried I have never managed to equal the taste of great Chinese Chefs who manage to make their offerings outstanding with this magical dessert.
My Fav chinese new year dish, is this “Fat Choy Ho Si” dish, with Pigs trotters which makes the dish thick and unctuous, with the Fat Choy (or “hair” as i used to call it when i was younger) and “Ho Si” which are dried oysters
My favourite Dish is Fried Rice it is so yummy i could eat it for Breakfast,Lunch and Tea .My Hubby said i will look like a rice one day lol.
Yu Xiang Rou Si (Fish Fragrant Pork Slivers?) and Spicy Mongolian Lamb Skewers. I’ve never been a fan of the fishy taste of fish, but pork that tastes and feels like fish? Gold. Coupled with a bowl of fluffy white steamed rice? I’m sold.
And let’s be honest; how can anyone say no to Mongolian Lamb Skewers?
Peking Duck. It’s delicious and the one thing I can not replicate at home in my own kitchen. Favourite because it tastes great, and we have to go out to enjoy it!
Crispy skin Duck – a taste to die for, one I can not get enough of.
Fish with ginger and seasonal vegetables. It tastes great and is great for me.
I can’t go past good ol sweet and sour pork and always spring rolls to dip!
Happy Chinese New Year
With a background of mainland Chinese and Taiwanese, my fav Chinese food would be anything that’s based on ‘rice’. I love the sweet brown-sugared rice-cake; nian-gao, great when deep fried with a battered coating. Another one is turnip rice cake, a savoury type of rice cake, slightly pan-fried to crisp and dip with little bit of soy sauce! Yum!!! Two of my fav Taiwan styled Chinese food is the super thin vermicelli soup and another type of steamed rice cake called ‘wa-gui’…steamed in a ceramic bowl with mince, pickles and salted egg yorks…I am drooling already!!!
chinese food ;
*San Choi Bao
*Peking duck pancakes
*steamed scallops with xo sauce
*xo pippies
*salt and pepper white bait
*Ma po tofu- kind of like a spicy tofu dish with minced meat and sometimes mushrooms
*wonton soup
*coconut milk and tapioca dessert with fresh mango
Sorry But when we go Chinese we go all out
I love the flavours and the after-taste kick of Mongolian Lamb. I was lucky enough to have the best ever Mongolian Lamb at PF Changs in Las Vegas.
I think I have very basic tastes, but I do love chicken & sweet corn soup. So easy, yet delicious and filling. I could eat this 7 nights a week!
So hard to choose just one dish! Scallops in ginger wine if you can find a restaurant in Australia. The flavours are all so subtle and gentle! Mmmmm!!!!
my husband is chinese, anything he cooks for me is the best ever chinese new year dish, its always made with love and tastes delicious.
The hubby kids and I all love a moist lushish lemon chicken with fried rice
My favourite Chinese dish is Kylie Kwong’s Crispy Prawn Wontons with Sweet Chilli Sauce. These little magical golden parcels are amazing because when you bite into the crunchy wonton wrapper and then hit a piece of piping hot prawn! You have a party in your mouth; and the Ying and Yang of the chilli sauce is rich, sweet and salty delish
My favourite Chinese New Year food is Prawn balls with candied walnuts.
Ferrero Rocher is the finale to any great dining experience.
I love Beef in Black Bean with stir fried vegetables. Its a really diet friendly dish and tastes divine.
I’ve got the hots for Chicken in Garlic Sauce – EXTRA SPICY!
Lemon chicken made with chicken breast rather than chicken pieces and served with special fried rice is my favourite.
When I’m being good – good old stir fry with tofu and lots of cashews or almonds.
When I’m being bad – deep fried ice cream with coconut
A fabulous Sticky Pork Belly with Crisp Fried Prawns, Hokkien Noodles & Asian greens…fit for an emperor or just a very hungry family.
I love Chinese ‘Junk’ food – deep fried spring rolls.
I can’t go past fortune cookies. The crunchy little bites with a surprise in the middle!
My absolute Chinese favorite would have to be my grandma’s bak geng (roll pork) very similar to ngoh hiang minus the 5 spice powder. It’s mince pork, prawns and water chestnut. The fillings are minced and marinated, rolled in bean curd skin and then deep fried. Its the bestest!!!
Fried Ice cream. Wow so good, nothing else quite like it.
My favorite Chinese dish is
Chicken and sweet corn soup easy to make and everyone in my family love it
One of my favorite dishes is Chinese Stewed Beef with Daikon. Delicious with steamed rice or yummy egg noodles
Happy Chinese New Year…my favorite Chinese Meal is Caramel Chilli Chicken with beautiful soft rice and julienne of assorted wok vegetables.. because every time I make it the wow factor from my friends is still amazing. I call this my signature dish..
I cant go past lemon chicken for my favourite chinese dish – I just love that sweet and sour of the lemon with the rice! Yum!
Growing up in south east Asia I have eaten so many different cuisines, but Chinese is my absolute favorite! I can’t go past chinese broccoli in oyster sauce and prawn dumplings!
I love Chinese new year, the fire works and lion dances are incredible!
Ma Po Tofu, because it is cheap, so quick to whip up and combines the best of Asian flavours with an irresistible, mouthwatering heat.
my favorite is honey King Prawns just the way they cook these so yummy and tasty and i could eat them for breakfast,lunch and dinner
Chinese Fried Rice. A great way to use leftovers and brings a smile to the kids face. Definate comfort food.
My favourite is a toss up between roast duck and Peking duck pancakes. There’s a restaurant in Warrick that serves the pancakes with spring onion, cucumber and celery sticks. The combination is to die for! Yummy. Gong Xi Fa Cai NQN readers!
Sweet and sour pork because of the combination of flavours – sweet AND sour!
Stir fry because you can stir and fry vegetable in a wok at the same time! So uniquely Asian!
It sounds boring but – omelette. And really, Chinese omelette is never boring
Spring onion pancake because I’ve eaten these ever since I was little! My mum makes the most delicious ones, crunchy on the outside and packed full of flavour. Brings back memories of making them in the kitchen with my mum and smelling like onion for the rest of the day haha!
Salt & pepper Tofu .. mmmm! Perfect combination of textures & flavours!
I’m with everyone, I enjoy eating Chinese Food, even the debatable dishes, you know the one with a type of fin in it. But my favourite is simple Special Fried Rice. Especially from my local Restaurant. We just came back from Sydney today after 2 nights, we stayed near China Town and a so and so didn’t want to have Chinese food and opted for Italian, oh well next time. Happy New Year
hands down its mongolian lamb
I can’t go past a good San choi bow! Pork, prawn, scallop, chicken… Doesn’t matter which. they were always a special treat when we were younger and went out for dinner so always bring back fond memories.
All time favourite would have to be sharks fin soup. It always reminds me of my Mum and Dad as it was a favourite of theirs when they were still here. As a kid we used to drive from Orange to Molong to Franky Hang Sings Chinese restaurant for birthdays and the soup was a must! How they got sharks fins to Molong in 1960 I dont know! In later years I managed to get Mum and Dad to Singapore where they ate and loved the real thing at the street stalls. Miss them so, but this post was a nice excuse to remember them and their soup
I’m seriously huo guo (hot pot).I love the different varieties in the dish and also the preparation. A wonderful meal.
Chicken and Cashew. The nuts give it that extra texture to the meal that makes it so yummy and appealing, much like the nuts on the Ferreros!
I’m seriously *into
Pepper steak because you can vary the intensity for those unsure of Chinese dishes and also sneak some ciggies in for the kids to eat without them REALLY tasting any vegie. A winner all round.
Fortune Cookies as I am always so excited to see what secret fortune each one holds inside! A little like the good fortune I find each time I might into a Ferrero chocolate! Mmmm!!!
My favourite dish is curried prawns and fried rice, used to eat it nearly every day when I was pregnant with my eldest son who is nearly 18 years old. Probably why I put on 30kg whilst pregnant and he weighed 4.5kg when born.
Combination short and long soup….when I’m after a quick dinner after work I pre-order while I’m still in the carpark, it’s cheap at $13 and is absolutely delicious.
My favourite Chinese dish is king prawns in Satay Sauce – really yummy!
Hi Lorraine, my fave dish would be good old Mongolian Lamb. I love it so much that after 15 years I did finally find an authentic recipe and it’s sooo good.
My favoritest Chinese New Year dish would be my auntie’s braised pork belly. Because you have to deep fry the pork belly before you steam it she only cooks it once a year for Chinese New Year. It is savoury, garlicky and melt in your mouth all at the same time. If she could package it up and send it in a gift box. it would make my year!!!
Damn! I really need to move to Australia, don’t I?
Fillet Steak Chinese Style because the small pieces of steak are very tender cooked this way and the sauce is really nice served over boiled rice
Mine would be Longevity noodles. I especially enjoy it when we have to made it from scratch. This year, I’m going to celebrate Chinese New Year with family back in Indonesia
One of my special favourites is Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables. Double fried and then steamed to melt-in-the-mouth perfection.
It was my first introduction to Chinese food that didn’t come from an Aussie suburban Cantonese restaurant.
I must admit mine to is peking duck as we call it here in australia. The first time i had it was when i was in beijing with the navy in 2005 and it has tickled my taste buds numerous times since. Though if i can recall correctly over there they called it beijing duck. Peking or beijing either way it’s my favourite chinese dish.
My favourite dish is Combination Tofu Hot Pot (Ba Zhen Tofu). Nothing beats this well rounded dish, it contains all the essential components for a good meal – fried tofu, sliced chicken, bbq pork, sliced beef, cabbage, broccoli, sliced carrot, prawn and sometimes if you’re lucky some scallop pieces too. All cooked up in a yummylicious sauce, perfect when eaten with boiled rice.
Peking Duck because I love all the different dishes it creates.
My favourite Chinese dish is a BBQ! – In my friends backyard where we cook our marinated meat on skewers basted in honey and eat them lovingly as we cook them – amazing
Dumplings! They’re so delicious!
Favourite Chinese meal is prawn omelette – and as a general rule I don’t like seafood. But in this case, the soft texture if the egg and the sauce they serve with it complements the prawn beautifully. The best I’ve had is at a small restaurant in Sunnybank, QLD.
Prawns in peanut sauce – ‘Satay’sfaction’s always guaranteed!
After not eating them for so long, I love curried prawns wkith my flatmate Chris…. I’m a ‘Prawn Again Christian’!
Definately Mongolian lamb with special fried rice. YUM!
Pekin Duck. Takes me back to Sinapore..every time!
Chicken with Cashew nut – I love the tenderness of the chicken with the crunch of the nut. And I’ve convinced myself its a healthy option with all those vegies! and because deep fried but stir fried
** Not deep fried!
Chinese food oh! yum I can never get enough all the time.my favourite i have so many as it is to expensive to order alot i love sweet and sour pork
My favourite dish is Duck Pancakes. mmmmmmmm….
Wonton noodles from Hong Kong. Those slippery packages of meat and prawn with a dash of red vinegar, and springy egg noodles are just something I dream of eating, when I am not there eating it. You just can’t get quite the same quality here in Australia.
Happy Chinese New Year!
I just love Lemon Chicken, Rainbow Steak and anything with Satay Sauce, but the best Chinese meal I ever had was in China. A very simple dish of tomato and egg noodles. Yum!
OMG. Who can go past chinese dumplings!!! I always have some in the freezer you just never know when you’ll get a craving for them. The great thing about dumplings are there are so many different fillings such as prawns, scallops, pork & chive etc. I actually was in Chinatown yesterday downing a good share of dumplings – so so delicious
Did u know: Dumplings = wealth because shaped like ancient silver and gold ingots.
Chicken and sweetcorn soup
I love that Combination Chow Mein has a little taste of everything!
My local Chinese does an amazing broccoli and tofu plate which they top off with the scrummiest mushrooms in a secret marinade that I simply cannot get enough of. Healthy vegies that taste wonderful, I love this dish.
Sweet and Sour Pork because it reminds me sitting and eating Chinese as a child with my Dad.
It’s impossible to choose one Chinese favourite. This is because what I love about Chinese restaurants is that we all pick a dish each and share it around.
I love the idea of this and think it tastes better all mixed up with some of this and a bit of that. It adds to the conversation as well. Always order way too much though.
I love having “Chun Juan” (Chinese Spring Rolls) with friends and family when they come over for a visit from interstate during the Chinese New Year season. All the wonderful, fresh and healthy ingredients (rice noodles, cabbage, prawns, crab meat, shiitake mushrooms, sliced barbecued pork/chicken) are rolled up nicely inside very thin sheets of rice paper, served with killer Hoi Sin and peanut dipping sauce – Yum! It’s like wrapping all the wonderful goodness of health and prosperity in one tidy package, so easy to make and feels really therapeutic indeed! Sitting around the dining table with my loved ones, catching up on all the latest news, our hands busy wrapping the spring rolls that come in various shapes and forms, and all the laughter that come with it, makes for a pleasant way to dine and entertain at the same time. The taste of each ingredient will start to unravel inside our taste buds as time progresses. Such a simple dish, yet brings so much joy and “rolling” good times, always an all time favourite Chinese dish of mine!
P.S. The Fresh Northern type of spring roll pictured in your article “Good Evening Saigon” today looks tempting. Love to visit Saigon one day
Lemon Chicken – that sweet and sour and perfectly cooked chicken. Must have some for lunch today!
A perfect dumpling cripsy in the outside and filled with a delicious chicken and broth on the inside, it makes you feel so comforted and warm inside. Mmm yummy
Oh the glory of suckling pig! Can’t put into words a reason why I love it so – who DOESN’T love it, really?
My favourite chinese dish is Honey Chicken! It’s sweet and can be found everywhere. I think its remained my favourite as it reminds me of my childhood growing up and being taken out for dinner with my family.
Does anything beat the old faithfuls? We love beef and black bean. Husband always adds cashews. I’m sure that’s not meant to happen, but he loves it that way.
Laksa-i add chicken and vermicelli to mine:-)
Not entering, because of the boombah diet, but happy Chinese New Year to all. xo
I love yum cha but am addicted to the combination stir fry in hot & spicy paste served with cold noodles from New Shanghai in Charlestown.
Sweet and Sour Pork – reminds me of having takeaway as a child in the UK and there wasn’t much of a choice still love it!
Can’t beat a classic beef and black bean sauce.
My next favourite Chinese dish is Peking Duck, I love that crispy skin and that succulent tender meat underneath. My favourite way to get it is served in the more traditional style with all the regular accompaniments and eating in instead of taking home.
my fav would have to be yum cha, specifically the har gow. i know its your favourite dumpling too so you already know how delicious it is =)
For me it simply has to be a perfectly done tea-smoked duck. Sweet and succulent flesh, crispy burnished skin, evocatively fragrant and moreish. Few things could make me happier.
Yum Cha
You choose just whatever you may fancy at the time and just the right quantity to satisfy your one individual tastes to perfection
One of my all time favourite Chinese dishes has to be Sweet and Sour Pork! I love the slight crispiness of the pork and the perfect harmony between sweet and sour. It is very appetising. Yum!
Awesome competition I love Chinese new year and all the celebrations I can’t choose just one dish though because made authentically they are almost all to die for. Maybe not so authentic (not sure) but I have a sweet toothe today so mango pancakes are my order. The thin smooth pancakes and sweet mango with the luscious cream centre. Mmmmmmmm
I love shanghainese dumplings (jiao zi)…when we were young all the aunts would gather at one place and spend the day making and at night the whole extended family has a feast…happy memories…
king prawn omlette with oyster sauce with long soup would have to be our favourite
Egg custard tarts. Warm, eggy, slightly sweet custard surrounded by flakey, crisp pastry. Moreish!
Dad’s home made yam basket filled with nuggets of chicken, squid curls, baby corn, capsicum, onions, mushrooms and other little bits I think there’s meant to be 8 treasures in it for good fortune. Looks like a mini great wall of china with all the goodies nestled within. Gong Xi Fa Choy to everyone!
Ginger ice cream. I would eat it ’til the cows come home. Yum.
Can’t go pass raw fish salad. Brilliant combination of flavors abd texture.
Anything on the Yum Cha cart as it wends it’s fragrant way past my nose BUT my absolute fav would have to be (and I hope it counts as a dish) MANGO PANCAKES! See I’d be a really deserving winner of the chocolates! It’s the sweet tooth in me!!
Besides Peking Duck I’d say Potstickers
I just love the simplicity of home made rice paper rolls with Chinese duck or pork.
Fried rice, with a side of prawn crackers that i use as scoops for the rice, cant go past a good fried rice
I absolutely adore steamed prawn gow gees! Nothing makes me happier than a steamer basket full of those perfect little parcels of delicious prawn and plenty of soy sauce for dipping. Some might say I’m a little too heavy handed with the soy sauce but I say there’s no such thing!
My abosulate fav Chinese dish is always my mum’s Shanghainese style sweet sour pork ribs.
I have to admit to
soft shell crab deep fried. done the perfect melt in the mouth way!! mmmmmm almost as good as a ferrero pack… PLEASE!!!
love ya work btw!
xt
My favourite dish is probably not very authentic, but very “Australianised” and it is BBQ pork in plum sauce. I just luuuuuuurrrvvee BBQ pork!
Such a simple dish, but I cannot remember the name of it.
Its really a mixture of scrabbled eggs, diced tomato and tobasco.
Mouthwatering and so easy.
I love Honey King Prawns for a special treat.
my fave is sizzeling honey and black pepper beef so delicious and a generous serving of special fried rice. yum!!
Sticky rice and mango for my dessert more than satisfies my sweet tooth.
Lemon Chicken , it’s so yummy i never try anything else
Satay, after months of experimenting I perfected the exact authentic taste without a recipe book and just with my tastbuds…Delicious
(L) Satay Chicken (L) with vegies its absolute deliciousness!
Hainanese chicken rice -the most tender and tasty chicken. The soup that accompanies the dish will cure the worse common cold or flu. So delicious and nourishing.
Honey Chicken and Combination Fried Rice is my favourite dish. It is always followed by Deep Fried Ice-cream with Caramel Sauce. I don’t know if that’s Chinese, but luckily for us, our local Chinese Restaurant serves it. It’s Yum.
i love yum cha for its variety, especially the silky smooth rice noodles! yum!
sizzling beef with onions, the sauce is heavenly with rice!
i had peking duck with the family today, it reminded me so much of childhood when mum would give one extra to the one who did well at school that week.
salt and pepper pork with fried rice made by my mum is the best comfort food i could ever ask for. just warm and cuddly like my mum
lobster with shallots and efu noodles, only seen at times of celebration, always a good sign
salted pork bones congee with fried yaotaos is a favourite childhood past time of mine
pan fried gow gee with pork and chives, served with chilli sauce! its so yummy!
I’d have to say steamed bbq pork buns (Char Sui) my absolute fave! *drool* First time I tried them in 2000 at my first Yum Cha experience I loved them at first bite! Now I have them several times a year when I go to Chinatown for Yum Cha
Yummo, I love Sweet’n'Sour Fish it’s so sweet and just melts in your mouth. Another love is Ferrero it’s also sweet and melts in your mouth.
Honey Chilli Chicken with fried rice is still my favourite!
Once a year, only on this special occasion will mum give into my constant nagger of deep frying any salt and pepper protein.She hates deepfrying because 1. its unhealthy, 2. it’s messy, 3. she doesnt know what to do with the oil afterwards ( doesnt want to eat it, but throwing away seems like a waste, but in the recent yrs, we would use the oil to make our own chilli oil and bottle it up to give to relatives and friends) one year it could be salt and pepper crab, next year it could be chicken wings, whatever it is, it’s always enjoyed by the family.
Lemon Grass Chicken. I enjoyed this dish while visiting the World heritage Listed ancient Chinese town of Hoi An in Vietnam and have been trying ever since to try and replicate the flavour!
I had my first Yum Cha experience the other month (yes at the age of 24!) and it was AMAZING!!
Honey Chicken. I have a sweet tooth and I love this sweet sticky dish.
For CNY, I would say Stew Chinese Mushroom. That 1st bite…… meaty, juicy and delicious.
Chilli-salt bean curd is the bomb! The textures, the tang, the chilli-kick
Love anything Yum Cha! You never know whats on the next trolley or plate of food, its all a flavour explosion in your mouth. I get very excited about my next trip to Yum Cha, my tastebuds are tingling already.
love just love peking duck my mouth is watering just writing this
Has to be the Shangai dumplings with yummy soup in!! Steamed or Panfried!
So hard to choose, I love sweet and sour pork, but dumplings are another favourite. I guess over all my absolute fave that I keep going back to would have to be salt and chilli squid.
My favourite dish is Salted duck egg prawns. The crisp batter coating of the prawns like tempura and the soft textured salted duck egg which adds another level of flavour and seasoning to the prawns. I first had this at Mr Chow’s peking restaurant at the rocks. A very unique dish not normally sold in other restaurants. An asian flavour delight in the mouth.
Yum Cha is my favourite Chinese experience. Every piece a suculent delight, even better shared with family and friends!
Sweet and sour pork is my favourite. It’s simple yet tasty. Definitely a crowd pleaser!
Sichuan Eggplant – I normally choose meat dishes when I am out for dinner but I discovered this dish whilst travelling in China in the Sichuan province. I fell in love.
Most westerners will disagree with me but I love Congee for breakfast very satisfying indeed.
I would have to say Peking Duck is my favourite. Any cuisine that honours an animal’s skin in such a delectable way is a winner for me! We have a local restaurant aptly named Yum Yum Peking Duck that makes an excellent version of this dish! I would go there once a week if finances allowed.
Mongolian Lamb, It can be a bit hot, but boring it’s not!
Duck! Done any way, pancakes or roasted or in steamed buns! I just love what the Chinese do with it, one of my food fantasies would be Iron Chef Chen Kenichi to do a duck challenge just for me to eat!
The obvious answer is dumpings!
I live in Hobart and it’s hard to find good dumpings here, so last time mother came to visit I coerced her into making heaps of them! We had beef and carrot, beef and leek and beef and mushroom… there were also store-bought veggie ones for our token vegetarian but they couldn’t compare with the mother-made ones 
Singapore noodles, easy to eat and you get a bit of everything in them, great mix of flavors!
So many choices, but I still can not go past dumplings. Scallop or Pork and Garlic Chive.
It’s like biting into a treasure chest of goodies with each bite.
Yummm…now after reading all these comments I think I’m going to have to head out to Yum Cha for brunch
I actually made laksa last night after reading all these comments-must admit wouldnt mind trying a few i had never heard of:-)
I love Kai Lan (Chinese brocolli) with Oyster Sauce! I could eat an entire plate of it by myself! Healthy and delicious!
My favourite chinese dish is chilli mud crab on a bed soft noodles and gravy…Yum,yum,yum
Growing up in rural Australia, of course we had our compulsory chinese restaurant. No matter how small or how rural, there is always one to be found in small country towns! It was the only restaurant in town, and every time we I went there I always ordered beef with black bean and fried rice. I know it’s probably the furthest from a real chinese meal that you can get, but I still love it!
Dumplings dumplings and more dumplings. Savoury, sweet and anywhere in between. Always something different, reliably tasty. Ohhh… now you made my mouth water!!
My grandmother used to make the most amazing pork jiaozi! Sadly enough, she passed away a few years ago and I am yet to locate her recipe, so I haven’t eaten them in years
Fave Chinese dish would have to be stir fry tomatoes, eggs and beef strips
Definitely GARLIC CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES. The only problem is my husband kisses me before we go into the restaurant because he won’t kiss me for two days afterwards.
Boring, but absolutely LOVE fried rice! it is my a ultimate favourite, can’t get enough!!!!!! (And ferrero’s my favourite Chocolate!)
Peking Duck!
Melt in your mounth and never make it at home.
Well, I have ‘palate-tested’ some 325 dishes mentioned above, and methinks my tummy is so full dinner prep will have to wait
!One dish, methinks, was not mentioned and it has always been a great favourite of mine: Szechwan [yup, old-fashioned in my spelling!] chicken with Kung- Po sauce: love the gutsiness of the offering!
I really enjoy master stock chicken. The stock, Lu Shui, is delicious and so good for you, there is no other stock like it for me. I also re use the stock by re boiling it. The flavour of the chicken is so far removed from ordinary boiled chicken. As a separate side tip, I use XO sauce for fried rice to give more depth to the flavour. Gilding the lily, I think he, he.
My “uncle” Alan owned a Chinese Restaurant in Northcote some 40 years ago. My mum worked there part-time for many years. Uncle Alan’s dim sims were the best in Melbourne and people came for all over to buy them by the dozens. Couldn’t get better then and nothing has ever matched since!
My other favourite Chinese dish is very simple, Noodles! Served crispy or stir fried or in a soup or with various meats and/or vegetables… I love them which ever way they are served. They are very versatile but always delicious, which is why I love them.
I once ate Drunkin Chicken which was tasty and a thousand yr old egg which was strange but good
I love all chinese food so much. I need to restrain myself or I will become a ‘pork dumpling’!
Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup will always be my favourite as its makes the perfect entree to a chinese dinner.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Ferrero Roche my favorite. I must admit one on my favorite chinese dishes is Pipies in XO Sauce with steamed rice just divine. I hope I win this as I enter everything and never win
Fried rice, so easy, so varied, so yummy.
Billy Key Chicken….. it’s like a secret dish.. Almost never on the menu but if you ask for it they will know what it is & make it for you
beef and black bean would be my favourite although i gotta fight my brother for it
my mum’s shanghaiese style rice cakes with chili pork stir fry.im homesick!
pork bone and chicken soup with alphabet pasta, made for my little brother but i always sneak some! its so yummy!
salt and pepper pork mmm deep fried goodness!
as a student egg fried rice is a staple because its nutritious and cheap.
pork and seasonal vege stir fry with noodles drenched in its sauce! yummy!
salt and pepper pork, need i say more? so yummy!
fresh egg noodles cooked with xo sauce and a side of garlic prawns. explosion in the mouth! yum!
I don’t know if it classifies as a dish but I simply adore steamed custard buns I also love chicken and cashews
oooh, being Chinese myself, this is quite a difficult one! But I would say that my most favorite would be mabo tofu. There’s something about it that seems very homey. Wherever I go, I order mabo tofu and it always reminds me of my mom’s cooking
I’ve only ever had Yum Cha twice. It’s not available where I live, but I so wish it was,I tried so many new and different foods, it was just the most delightful smorgasboard of flavours.I think the favourite was prawns all coated in coconut [I think] think the name of them had something to do with lions, but so long ago I can’t remember. Only remember how much the whole family loved it.
I love the longevity noodles that you share with your family on Chinese new year, they taste great but the meaning of them is kind of cool too.
Hubby & I love to eat the beautiful, fresh dumplings at our local New Shanghai restaurant. We always choose way too many but manage to finish them all, along with many pots of green tea!!
There is nothing more divine than a casual dim sum with a group of girlfriends on a Sunday morning. My favourite is the prawn dumplings. Tender and plump fat juicy prawns in their yummy dumpling casing. We admire for a moment…the beauty within these precious morsels, just thinking about how delicious that first bite will be. Then, we dip into soy and chilli sauce and promptly devour. Heaven….
Crispy Skin Chicken in Red Rice! I was fascinated with this dish since I was very little because the rice at home that my mum cooked was ALWAYS white! Since then, this has still been my favourite asian dish
Delicate Prawns Toasts,
The flavours they boast.
Nutty seeds and fresh prawn,
That dish will never make me yawn!
Stirfry chicken with cashews and fresh chillies. I’ve only seen this at one Chinese restaurant and the chillies make this dish exotic and delicious.
When I just can’t ait for dinner I grab a frozen DIM SIM and nuke it for 50secs. Now that’s not quite Nigella, but better than sugary carbs?
Fortune Cookies! Delicious and full of inspiration and advice (don’t eat the paper… Has a special coating, umm… Thanks for the tip!)
Gorgeous gift box-
inspired to cook chinese again tonight-simple beef in black bean:-)
Sweet and sour pork! Serve it with a bowl of steaming white rice and it’s guaranteed to make you happy!
Yum Cha, sipping tea with friends and devouring dumplings. Pork Buns and Warm Custard tarts, the excitement of the lady bringing the trolley full of bamboo steamers full of delicious dumplings, the noise of the chatter of friends and family catching up and the sound of the clinking chops as the people happily eat their dumplings. Oh to be in Hong Kong for the best Yum Cha!

Oh to be in Hong Kong for the best Yum Cha!
Red Bean pancake, because it blurs the distinction between sweet and savoury, and is always such a surprise when it will arrive during the meal (cooked then served immediately)!
I used to believe that fortune cookies were an indication of the future and Mum used to put sayings that benefited her such as “You would richly rewarded for helping someone”. I only caught on when one of them sounded distinctly like my mum would say. My love affair with fortune cookies ended then and there
Sweet & Sour Fried Short Soup because from the time I was a little girl and went out for Chinese meal with my Nan, we ordered it EVERY time. It was her favourite and it always brings back wonderful memories of our outings together.
Honey Chicken.. the sweetnes of the honey and the crispness of the chicken.. delicious
Dim sum is absolutely one of my favs as it comes in so many different tastes
yum yum dim sum
My favourite chines dish is Peking Duck and pancakes with noising sauce. I love eating this dish, unfortunately have not overcome my fear of cooking duck. Will just have to get out of my cooking comfort zone.
Cant go past spring roll and pork buns!!! love them!!!
I have several favourites but will go with Peking Duck. Scrummy and delicious. I love showing my kids the little ducks hanging in the kitchen and getting their shock/horror/gasp reaction and then onward to our Peking Duck banquet.
soya sauce chicken with lard rice. arterty cloggin but so yum
salt and pepper pork and egg fried rice would be my last meal if i had a choice
deep fried pigeon with the salt and a big bowl of wonton noodles soup!the latter reminds me of the good old days living at home.
stir fried beef noodles and xo sauce is a friday night special at my household!
runny eggs with beef and shallots and eggy rice fried one side is a childtime favourite!
chicken cooked in pork bone broth with some ginseng and shallot served with a steaming bowl of rice, perfect for winter nights in!
traditional glutious eice with lap cheong and cshitake mushrooms and a bowl of abalone soup is all i want for chinese new year. oh and the chocolates ofcos
My favourite chinese dish is good old fashioned fried rice. It was always a favourite as a child and I still love it today. Simple but very tasty.
Although probably not traditional chinese – I cannot leave my local restaurant without a serving of fried ice-cream!
Definitely Peking Duck pancakes- the perfect example of how food concepts translate throughout regional cuisines worldwide…From Vietnamese rice paper rolls to Greek yiros to French crepes. AND they’re delicious.
my favourite chinese dish is pan fried taro cake, always beg my mum to make some even when it’s not chinese new year
Just love its fluffy texture and unique sweetness!
It might be simple but Chicken and Sweet Corn Soup is a MUST have for me when we get Chinese!
Happy Chinese New Year!
ohh how delicious does that look?!
my favourite chinese dish is sweet and sour pork – nothing beats it, yum!
I had my first ever taste of lychees [tinned]at a Chinese restaurant, and really liked them. Several years later I discovered fresh ones. I’m sure God made all the food, then said if you thought that was good taste these, and he handed out fresh lychees. Oh I just love them, and first tasted in a Chinese restaurant.
Salt and pepper tofu for sure.
Peking Duck!!!
Can’t go past good old dry fried Szechuan string beans on rice. The truly Asian combination of salty, sweet, crispy and soft flavours and textures are deeply satisfying!
I love the delicious simplicity o a well made Chicken & Corn Soup. One that is full of flavour and isn’t all thick like someone has thrown in a tub of Clag from primary school into it…. although some kids would find that tasty!
By the way, I’ve been a reader for a while, but never a poster (until now). Well done on your success with your blog Lorraine
Peking duck pancakes! That sauce is so tasty! And I love to watch them carving up that crispy skin duck in front of you
The little duck pancakes! Oh My God! Could eat them ALL DAY!
Peking duck is another of my favs!
Crispy Duck. I love the rich flavour of the duck.
Sweet and sour pork! It has a nice crispy texture and delectable sauce. It’s the perfect pairing with white rice. Delicious!
It has to be San Choy Bow…I never have a chinese meal without it! I especially love the seafood version. Everyone knows that it is a standard order when we are deciding on what dishes to order
I do like honey chicken:-)
Rlaming Deep fried ice-cream! Not sure how authentic it is but it screams ‘we’ve just had an amazing Chinese meal’ to me!
Any meat/veg/sauce combo atop Crispy Noodles – an textural delight!
Not exactly a dish as such, but I love hot pot! Visiting a hot pot buffet & stuffing my face with dumplings, fish balls and delicious tender meat is my ultimate dream. I always end up with a tummy ache after (which at times can last until the next day) but hey it’s worth it every single time.
it’s Peking Duck mmmmh !
Favourite Chinese meal, would be dumplings…. ginger prawn, prawn hargow…. i love steamed dumplings…
followed by Ferrero Rocher choccies for dessert…nom nom
My favourite Chinese dish is braised pork belly, because of the delicious flavours and textures (and the unhealthiness too!)
My favourite Chinese dish is Sweet & Sour Pork with Steamed Rice. The combination of flavours is the perfect mix and the pork is always tender and flavoursome.
My favourite chinese dish would have to be a family faourite. Honey Soy Chicken Wings. It bring back so many memories that only food can. Chicken wings, Honey, Soy, Garlic and lots of Ginger. While I resemble very little of my Chinese background, this always brings me closer to whats makes who I am in the kitchen today.
When I think about my favourite dish, I always come back to Hokkein Fried Rice – rice combined with all sorts of seafood and vegetables. So delicious, especially when it’s cold
Happy Chinese New Year
I’ve never been too fond of Chinese food probably because mum would make it all the time when I was growing up. But the one dish that I absolutely adored and even now I could eat many bowls of is fried rice! I don’t know why I’m so attracted to fried rice, particularly mum’s fried rice which is a combination of anything she has leftover in the kitchen so it’s always different.
I’ve been thinking a lot about CNY food lately and having been obsessing over pineapple tarts, so it’s probably my favorite chinese dish right about now.
Peking duck: I love the plum sauce and pancakes, a great sharing dish!
my favorite is Chinese Dumplings, this is a traditional new years menu item, they have mince and veg’s wrapped in an elastic type pocket umm yum
A nice combination of rice stuffed squid cooked in a hot chilli sauce and served with steamed veggies
Nien Kao or Ni-Kwee (just Google it anyone)steamed sweet sticky cake wrapped in banana leaves. Only available near Chinese New Year. Mum always slices it thinly and makes batter then deep-fries it. It becomes so soft and gooey. This is my favourite Chinese New Year cake.
All year round favourite dish is Fried Slice Rice Cake with shredded pork and white cabbage.
I love eating Kung Po Chicken. Haven’t tried making it yet though!
My latest love is griddled tea-tree mushrooms. Awesome!
My favourite would have to be Peking Duck with plum sauce and a nice plate of steamed vegetables. Mouth watering and a crowd pleaser.
I love sweet and sour pork! You just can’t go wrong with that sweet and tangy flavour.
I like to serve Nyonya Sek Bak (Roast Pork Salad) when entertaining as it symbolises strength, wealth and abundant blessing. Plus it tastes fantastic and is so easy to make. Great food and good wishes in one…what more could you ask for!
Lemon chicken…best version at local chinese when I was a lot younger (and you took your own containers!)
Mango Pudding – such a refreshing dessert to have on a hot, Australian summer’s day! Garnished with kiwi fruit – simply heaven!
I know they are not traditionally chinese but my most favourite thing in the world are fortune cookies.
for dessert-mango pancakes:-)
A really nice lemon chicken is a favourite of mine
Lychees and vanilla icecream. Perfect way to end an extravagant Chinese feast!
Honey Chicken! So sweet and delicious! An old favourite
Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon are delicious
I love sesame prawn toasts. I tried making them before Christmas after watching Fast Ed cook them on Better Homes and Gardens. They were so awful, don’t think I’ll ever try to make them again. Don’t know if I did something wrong, or it was because they were baked, not fried, but the idea of not frying them is why I wanted to try making them.
Lemon Chicken It’s been my favourite since I was a little girl. I love the coating on the chicken and the delicious sweet lemony flavour.
sweet and sour pork! I love the sweetness and how every now and then you get a punch of sour! Yummy! Think that may be dinner tonight!
Definitely Hainanese chicken rice. Brings me back home
chicken with Cashews. savory and sweet and saucy and rice.
I love good old deep-fried spring rolls! So crunchy with an endless amount of possible fillings… yum!
Love Peking Duck because it’s rich and sumptuous!
Beggars’ Chicken is a dish that brings back memories of our (very) rare family restaurant visits during the 70′s. As we all eagerly looked on, Dad would ceremoniously crack open the hard salty crust to reveal delicious moist chicken. Sadly, it’s hard to find in restaurants these days and my attempts to make it have been…well rather dismal!
Lemon chicken and Dim Sum
Both dishes are very yum
But best on the fork
Is sweet and sour pork
Peking Duck with the little pancakes to boot!! Yummo!!!
Nothing nicer for lunch or dinner than lemon chicken. Tangy, with really nice bad-for-you-batter filled with tender tasty chicken. Definitely my favourite.
Cant go past Lemon Chicken as my favorite. All my kids love it too and we all love ferrero rocher
Chicken satays because you can eat them on the run.
My favourite Chinese dish? Something so simple, light yet elegant. Perfectly cooked braised abalone with fresh steam vegetables and chinese mushrooms.
It’s healthy, fresh and simple, yet a delicacy at the same time. The way the flavours are soaked up into the abalone and sauce … divine! The last time I had this was at T’ang Court, Hong Kong, a 2 star michelin restaurant known for it’s cantonese cuisine…
My friends always laugh at me becuase I play it safe … but in reality I love Honey Chicken with Steamed Rice.
Without a doubt fried ice cream with caramel sauce.
Crispy hot shell with cold ice cream centre. YUM!
The Chinese were the first ones to invent ice cream, so no wonder their recipe is the cream of the crop!
Peking duck – oh yum yum yum YUM YUMMMMMM!
Lemon Chicken because it reminds me of summer. Why? I really don’t know.
Sang choi bow. It reminds me of my childhood and I STILL dribble the tasty juices down my arm while trying to eat it!

Eat it before you die!!!!
I just adore sweet and sour pork! It’s a must-have in restaurants. Simple yet a crowd pleaser.
My favourite chinese dish is Cantong sizzling steak with Fried Rice….I can’t go past this yummy dish…
First of all a joke to wake you up after all this reading…

I love all kinds of yum cha, but especially cute little pork dumplings. I’ve been having trouble replicating them since going gluten free, but I hope I crack it!
My favourite dish is vegetarian honey sesame ‘chicken’. One Perth restaurant does an AMAZING version. So crisp and juicy, served on top of crunchy noodles. To die for!
I love San Choi Bow – delicious pork mince fried in Chinese spices, wrapped in a fresh, crisp lettuce leaf and eaten with the hands. It’s fun to eat, tasty, refreshing – and who can resist playing with their food every now and then!
We love steamed dumplings, the beauty of it is you can fill them with so many different kinds of yumminess.
Rice its easy quick
not like chop sticks

I cant get enough of sweat and sour chicken. A meal I remember having as a kid with spring rolls, and Chicken and corn soup. Yum

garlic prawns are delicious. I prefer them with steamed rice, not fried
sweet and sour chicken – something about it that i simply cant resist!
My favourite is Honey Chicken. Firstly, because I love the thick coating of sauce, and secondly because I’m the only one in our family who eats it so I get that container all to myself. Rather indulgent!
I just adore Satay Chicken so delicious.
Honey chicken. Love the sweetness of the honey on the soft juicy chicken with those crunchy white noodles

Sweet and sour chicken with the chicken as battered balls, all time favourite from the UK, great to eat during a night out
I love peking duck, it is sweet and delicate, perfect for any occasion.
A staple as opposed to a dish, prawn crackers are simply delish.
Chinese moon cakes do it for me,
Savoury or sweet with a cup of Jasmine tea.
Decorative imprints stimulate the eyes,
This delectable treat going straight to my thighs!
My favourite Chinese dish..
Peking Duck, on Hong Kong Harbour
Afloat and in the mood
Adds new meaning to “junk ” food!
chinese five spice are a delicious treat
Hunan Lamb – a great way to add more lamb in our diet.
I love stir fry. The combination of all the different types of veges and meat is just tantalising. Then add the sauce and bingo you have the best chinese dish!
cant go pass th eold chicken chow mein myself although I love the fact it’s no longer overcooked from a takeaway but cooked with passion in my kitchen
Fortunate red envelopes of meat.
Firework flavour and sweet to eat.
Hoping our New Year’s bursting with luck.
Nothing beats Peking Duck.
Running out of favourite, favourites to write abouut, so maybe just o back to the good old faithful, sweet and sour pork, no maybe sweet and sour chicken
Sharks fin soup I absolutely adore
Sipped or slurped, then ordering more.
One of the greatest Chinese delicacy
Once tasted, why, you will see!
peking pork – it’s marinated in this sweet red sauce and crispy. I’ve loved it ever since I was a child and it’s worth trying at least once!
There is something devilishly fun and thought provoking about a delicate FORTUNE COOKIE laid out begging to be read and devoured….x
Beijing Chilli Beef so YUM,
Peruse the menu for choice,
Salivating, rumbling tum,
Order once more – NOICE!!!!
I just love Mongolian Lamb. The spices blend perfectly and there is nothing better.
Beef or Seafood Hor Fun; a delicious, wet noodle dish that will taste different to everyone on the table – as you can add chilli, soy, vinegar etc to taste in your own bowl.
Fried Rice!! fantastic with everything and delicious on its own
You can see the chocoholic coming out in me because I love chocolate-coated fortune cookies – why? Because IT’S MADE WITH CHOCOLATE.
I’d never eaten duck before so was wary when a friend offered me a taste. LOVED IT!!! Peking Duck pancakes, give me more!
I love sweet and sour fish, it’s delicious, and my kids tuck in, so I know they are getting their fish.
Definitely Fried Rice because it’s a dish that compliments every other dish.
my whole family loves satay chicken served on a bed of tender rice with a side dish of fresh crisp salad directly from the veggie garden
My favourite dish would have to be steamed crab with egg whites!! It’s a MUST to order everytime!!
Cannot go past a really good salt and pepper squid – YUM!
Shredded duck with plum sauce and spring onions and pancakes.
Satay Seafood. No matter how many times my husband and I try, we just cannot recreate the beautiful satay sauce. I’m salivating now!!!
Orange chicken, and not enough places make it in Australia so it is an absolute trip!
I love Chow Mein, yummo!
My very favourite chinese treat (only available round the chinese new year) is Mooncakes. Specifically the ones with a red bean centre. They are soooo yummy!
Can’t beat the old Chinese takeaway: special fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and home made dimmies. Simple food suiting my simple tastes and no fuss especially when you don’t have to prepare it!
Pork Buns! Chinese new year is not complete without them!
Kway Teow – a simle flat noodle dish, full of flavour
Gotta love beef and black bean
with noodles..
Yummo…
I can’t go past dim sum. Why have one favourite dish when you can have a few – steamed buns. stir fried vegetables and dumplings. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
Oh. My. Gosh. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I tasted the first bite of my succulent homemade Peking Duck.The wafer-thin skin was so light and crisp it was more like eating light layers of duck crackling. No fatty bits whatsoever. The meat itself was beautifully moist and tender and flavoursome. I just wished we’d made more pancakes!
The first dish that pops into my head is Yu Sheng! Hmm…what I like about Yu Sheng, well what’s not to like?:p This festive-looking salad dish carries auspicious meanings from its name, every ingredient, right down to how it’s eaten. It is also an easy and affordable dish to conjure up too. However, what I love most is how happy the people around me are when we gather round to toss the salad.
Here’s wishing everyone a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year!
Would love to know of a Chinese restaurant here in Toowoomba that does Yum Cha, and accommodate my wheelchair.
My finger is sore from scrolling and reading! Am at a mighty 515? OK, I began with ‘elegance’, continued with regional cuisine and shall end with what we all so love: what about looking into any of our fridges at any given time contain and working out what kind of a delightful stirfry we could compose? At the risk of soundig a ‘pleb’ that is still the most frequent path I take, and, laughingly, does that not lead to the most original and delightful Chinese-oriented dish of all? Happy New Year and thank you, dearHeart!
Peking Duck is still king
The infamous Hong Kong delicacy SMELLY TOFU is really delicious, but needs to be served with a clothes peg for the nose of each diner. Or as my Dad used to say – “Tastes like HEAVEN. Smells like HELL!”
Dim Sum yum yum
Is this competition finished yet?Sesame prawn toast
My favourite Chinese dish is definitely Peking duck – we go to our local Chinese and order the whole duck and get pancakes, soup and a noodle dish (so I guess that’s really 3 dishes – if I have to choose one it would be the pancakes!) but it is AMAZING! I love it because it’s fresh, crispy and the flavours complement it each other beautifully!
Peking Duck is so good
Shredded Sichuan Beef is my absolute favourite but I have had no luck finding it since we moved to Queensland. Oh, Chatswood, I miss you.
Delicious Peking Duck with Yum Cha stickey rice with DUCK SUACE oh HEAVENLY
Dumplings! Hot parcels of tasty goodness. Any type. Have started a little best dumplings in Melbourne club, perfect excuse to eat them every week
