If anyone has followed me here, anyone is well aware I am just a sucker for Chinese food.
And tonight, I am having Chinese food delivered from our favorite place in town, China King. The same place we always order from. Why go anywhere else if you like what they have, right?
I ordered 2 orders of spring rolls (that will give us 4 total), and a 21 count order of baby shrimp. (Not necessarily Chinese, but very good.)
I also got a quart of shrimp fried rice. Yummy.
And then the main dishes. On both of the combination platters I got pork fried rice and egg rolls. One platter will be beef with broccoli (that's mine) and General Tso's Chicken (that's the wifey's).
I also had the typical coupon for an 8 count order of crab Rangoon, so that is coming too.
All said, $50.39 with a 20% tip. This is going to be delicious.
What's going on your dinner table tonight?

@Tina30219 A bit of a process. Yeah. But very well worth it.

@LindaOHio I always have a taste for both. Just something about these two things, it's hard to ever NOT be in the mood for either.

I don't know, but that's a lot. When we order out, my husband and I usually get a pint of fried rice. Shrimp and chicken for me, and the house special for him. We haven't had it in years. FUnny enough, the other day I was just asking about China star, our local Chinese restaurant we often get delivery from.
It'll be morning before I can even get started cooking but I'm looking at possibly munching on some cookies or something.

@kaylachan It's not as expensive as some restaurant fare. But it's not necessarily cheap either.

I love Chinese food but have not had any in a long time. If I could afford it I would probably have Chinese at least twice a week. I had some French fries and a hot dog,

@porwest We didn't get them eaten tonight and we're have people for dinner tomorrow night. I'm sure they'll keep till the next day or we can have them for lunch. Yes, they're a pot pie. At least I think they are. They have a pastry shell and a lid. Steak and kidney.

Yep. Same place. Glad they are back in business, although I wish the wait time for delivery was shorter. You used to get your food in somewhere around 30 minutes. The time before it took 3 hours and this time it took about 2.
Deep dish pizza casserole sounds delicious, by the way.

Was this the place you wrote about that you had to wait a long time to get a delivery from recently? Or was that a different place?
I love Chinese food. Haven't had it in a while. I wouldn't mind some Chinese today. But as we are gonna order out tomorrow not sure hubby will wanna order to tonight. But tomorrow I am craving for sushi or maybe some Indian food.
I think we are gonna have Russian dumplings (pelmeni) tonight. I love them with the water they've been cooking in, a dollop of sour cream, some butter, and fresh parsley or cilantro or dried if no fresh.
What you ordered sounds delicious, though no pork or shrimp for me.
