Identify this Chinese dish! (vanity)
Posted on 06/22/2012 9:08:52 PM PDT by Feline_AIDS
Tonight I went to a Chinese place and ordered "chicken chow mein" with fried rice. Why they serve rice with a noodle dish I have no idea. This is curious point # 1.
When I got home with it, it was... well, not what I thought it would be. I thought chow mein was a noodle dish.
It was essentially cabbage, lettuce, celery, a few carrots, and sprouts with pieces of chicken in it. All of it was swimming in a clear sauce. Served in a soup container. Curious point # 2.
Now, this is not a health-inspector's dream type of place. It's family owned, been there for years, there's no matriarch sleeping on a cot in the back, the American-born children take the orders and are polite. The place is spotless. I think I got someone else's order. Then again, they served this (whatever) with the fried rice I specified, so I'm not sure.
Please tell me. What did I eat?
(Possibly unrelated detail--they had this picture signed on their wall with the sign "CUSTOMER OF THE YEAR.")

Given their Customer of the Year, I’m guessing Cream of Sum Yung Gai.

Maybe it’s regional?
You wanted Chicken lo mein. You got Chicken Chow Mein.
Remember Chow Mein in the can when you were a kid?

Exactly - you ordered Chow Mein and that’s what you got.
Lo Mein is the noodle dish which I myself don’t like. I prefer Chow Mein

At my local place they have a new thing called: Bang Bang Chicken.
I am scared to order it. Even with the picture.

Don't laugh about it. I'm 49 years old, and I happen to
have a can of chow mein in a can in the pantry cabinet. It's good at 2 AM when you're out of Spam and Hot Pockets.
