I cannot stand Chinese foods and I honestly don't see how anyone would like Chinese foods. I tried Chinese foods when I took a ex of mine out on date, a first date dinner in fact and first time trying out Chinese foods for myself (I don't remember if it was her first time trying too) and I almost throw up. Tried noodles with some stuff in there that I cannot remember but tasted somewhat bittersweet.
I would like to try native Chinese food, because I'm sure it differs a lot from what we order in chinese restaurants in our countries. Now I can't say I like it.
Sure, Chinese Food has more than 5000 years of history, It evolves into many styles and tastes during the long history from the past. Yum!
General Tso is my favorite, but I also like fried rice, Sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, and lo mien noodles. Chinese food is great.
