Chinese Food

When you order take out from your local town Chinese restaurant, you may think you are getting some authentic Asian cuisine.  Not to say that it isn't real food or made with real ingredients, by there is no mystery meat of any sort, but its far from being authentic.  Instead it's "American" stylized Chinese food, very much like "fast food".  The recipes created were all meant to appeal to American taste, the type of seasoning, the type of meats and vegetables... etc.  

Where can you find "real" Chinese food?  Well, that's quite simple, Chinatown.  Yes, to get real authentic Chinese food you will have to head to your local Chinatown.  Almost all major cities have a Chinatown.  Once you had eaten at one of these fine restaurants you may never want to order take out from the Chinese restaurant ever again.  The flavors are just so much more richer, the quality, and freshness of all the dishes will leave you wanting more.  

My personal favorites are "Sang Kee", "Rising Tide", "Ocean City", and "Ken's Seafood", but you should check these out and some of the other ones to find your own favorites.

Happy eating, enjoy.
