I've heard that it's the same problem with any type of food made for the fast food or quasi fast food market. It's just not the same as the original.
No kidding. I ate some a week ago, my stomach still hurts. That Cantonese Chow Mein is just loaded with MSG
Raise your hand if you read this or that digg thread and got really hungry then went and got chinese.
^yeah,me too joe... I also love Chinese food... You're right that not all chinese food are like that, perhaps it's just a coincidence.
sure not all Chinese food are like that, those are American Chinese food. However, i am not going to China, so i won't eat the "real" Chinese food, for me, those crappy Chinese take out = chinese food. Next time when you eat Chinese, take a look at that piece of chicken/beef. Slowly chew it to feel it texture. If doesn't taste /feel like chicken at all. They use tons of chemical to make it tender
