Chinese fondue.... now I don't think I have tried that one....
is it just fondue in chinese style dip?

I'm not a fan of chines food....

Bison rules my panties.

^ majority of Chinese food in America is so nasty...
Good chinese food can only be found in China Town NYC, or if you go to really good gormet chinese restaurants in SF.
I hate all those HUNAN, GOLD PANDA bullshit places.
nasty!

 

[Captain Beard]

Well Asia Garden here in town stays rather faithful to Cantonese stylings. I find them acceptable. I know REAL chinese has assloads of tomato now for health.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ I will try any place if someone recomands it... I'm not a complete snob
but really the majority is just BLAH.
too fat, too oily, too blend... too shitty.........

 

[Captain Beard]

Recommend? Eh, its better than fast food. Personally, I'd rather eat at Claim Jumper. Their bleu cheese burger was goddamned unreal. Where do you eat if you go out?

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ well, I never eat fast food, you know that,
and I never go to places like "Ruby Tuesday" or Applebees or all those bullshit-we-are-not-fast-food-but-we-are-just-as-greasy-and-just-as-blend places,
i normally go to local places.
There are some great retaurants here. I would name them, but they are all local.

 

[Captain Beard]

Our locals are all mexican greaseball joints, sadly. or Pizza.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ you need to move into the city already, NL

 

[Captain Beard]

We're looking at end of March at this point, still. Postponing of trip means shit in terms of moving date . I look forward to the bay's restaurants.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

^ as you should!
SF has so many good restaurants!
(and culture, and shows, and fun, and friends! )

There's actually a pretty decent (reasonably authentic) place in the little strip mall in Springfield where the Buy Buy Baby is. (When you have kids, you know where EVERY kid's store is. ) It's not as good as anywhere I went in SF, but it's not bad, and the menu is fairly varied.


I like "American Chinese", but I'll agree it's tough to get it that isn't overly greasy and kind of nasty...

finally something I know that you don't know

First, chinese fondue is something you eat at home, not in a restaurant. You need a special "chinese fondue" kit. So, you got various meat, uncooked (chicken, bison, horse (i tried that one recently, very very good), beef and vegetables (pretty much everything you want but carrots, brocoli and etc are the basic) that you dip in the hot chinese dip.
You also have various sauces that go with everything, to add to the taste. You also need the chinese fondue dishes, but it usually comes with the kit.

Finally, this is something to eat with a lot of friends or with your family, which will be the case sunday. Grab a few bottles of wine and this makes a very enjoyable dinner.

 

[AsModEe]

yup, weekends are made for fondue

I'm all for "American Chinese" as you've dubbed it! I love greasy Chinese take-away on occasion!

Real oriental food is <3, visit China and it's just AWESOME. I'm not sure how it is around where Martin is just now, though.
