About to have some chahan (fly lice) at a "The Milky Way" Chinese restaurant.
The Chinese restaurants don't quite serve up the stuff that one would
be used to eating in (from my experience) Seattle, LA or the UK where
it generally tastes better. The Chinese food over here is tailored to
local tastes. Still tastes OK though.
The best Chinese food I've had is in Hong Kong though. I hear some
folks tell me that the food in Vancouver is better than HK? ^^;
今日はランチでチャーハン。かなり仕事に追われています。必死っ！事務所に戻ってガンバルゾーーー。

Vancouver is great for chinese food, I think both Vancouver and HK have their own pros though. Depends on the ingredients, environment wise, Vancouver for sure~
~ Have fun catching up on piled work XD

I beg to differ.. HK food is still the best when it comes to real Cantonese food.. Just trawl the Wan Chai area and you'll sure to get your fair share of the gastronomic indulgence even the most stringent of epicureans would enjoy.

Nah, Vancouver is great indeed, but HK chefs can't be beat when specializing in chinese food. Prepare to get fat.

Yep, LA has the best Chinese food not made by the Chinese. Lol, that's because Chinese people make the chinese food there. I don't know about Vancouver, though. Surely, Hong Kong would make the best chinese food right?

That's what i was thinking. Who better than the Chinese in China to make the best Chinese food.

The foods there still within the tolerance of original Malaysian flavor

that plate of fried rice looks more Japanese than Chinese xD. I mean... isn't that short grain rice in the picture? Don't they usually use medium to long grain for fried rice? Either way, it looks a lot better than the garbage I have in Oregon that is a real insult to Chinese food.

Hm... That doesn't look all that good.
Feels very generic fried rice as often seen here in Westernized Chinese fast food.

Cantonese food would have to be HK. But when it comes down to yum cha then it definitely Melbourne. One of the silver lining of '97
food in HK is definitely better, that's for sure. but for anything outside of china, Vancouver is one of the best, if not the best.

Hong Kong for sure... to get the best of Chinese foods, you just gotta go to restaurants where the main customers are Chinese, and you will know that the restaurant serves food that suits the taste for Chinese people.
Chahan is sure popular in Japan, but it doesn't take that great... and a lot of the servings are small and expensive.

Chinese food in Nagasaki is great.
I noticed especially with miso soup that in Tokyo they prefer a stronger soy flavour wheras in Kyushu it seems less salty (i'm biassed towards the Kyushu flavour though)

I like Chinese food here...Chinatown is a great place for Chinese food in Toronto...
Hong Kong is also really good too....
Never been to Vancouver and tried Chinese food...would try it one day...

In Denmark I'm pretty sure all the Chinese restaurants will just take up some deep frozen stuff that's probably packaged in China and fry it so hard you can't taste anything but trans-fatty acids.
I just know that for a comparison Taiwanese food tastes so much better I now have to watch out really good for my weight. And I've never had to have the slightest worry about that one ever before.

there is 1 pretty good chinese restaurant(Hu Tong) near roppongi hills, across the asahi tv station, A Singapore restaurant nearby there too.. but it is awful!
there is also another chinese restaurant(chinese 8) near roppongi hills, know for the eroge decos ^^; my office guys call it ero-chuka. it is opposite grand hyatt hotel. the sui gyoza and peking duck is pretty good

Try the ones in Singapore. Generally pretty good and there are some awesome ones out there as well
So ugly that food - -. The most fascinate Chinese is absolutely in China. Hong Kong is the right place to try that food (seafood, soap, duck, etc). Those resturants outside China are the lowest level in China, forget those shits.

soap? XD

Try too the Chinese food in Indonesia. We have big restaurants to kopitiam style stalls. Pretty much similar to Singapore's Chinese food, but to be honest I prefer Charsiew (that how u write it? Chasyuu) in Indonesia (some restaurants made them really damn tasty, costs around 25k-30k rupiah -> 250-300yen, including rice and other meat like pork) rather than Singapore's Charsiew. Dunno why.
My mom also said Dim Sum in Indonesia have better (thicker) taste than those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I've never tried HK's though (last time i went to HK was when i was 5 yr ol)

If that rice bowl was bought here in Vancouver, especially from T&T, you'd be able to see the oil glistening off it XD But yeah the Asian food in general is quite good over here~

Being from Seattle and been to HK and Vancouver, I'd say that dim sum is fantastic in all 3 cities. Now I live in the desert and good Chinese is what I cook at home!

The best Chinese food I've ever eaten was in LuoYang, Henan, China. I was blessed to have a 17 day trip this summer with my Chinese class from school! The dish I liked the most was something called "Hot Pot". It was amazing!!!
Not only that, but I was also blessed with landing in Tokyo for 2 hours to switch planes! ... all but 25 minutes of those 2 hours was spent running around looking for where we were suppose to be. >,< But I had enough time to kiss the ground I walked on multiple times. People were looking at me and my friends weird because we were freaking out so much! ... That, and I was wearing a shirt I made that has "I wish I was Japanese" printed in Katakan on the front half, and "Anime, More Addictive Than Crack" written on the back side in big, bold English.
It was sad though, the first thing I saw when I got off the plain was a McDonalds...
We got nearly all of our 2 hours of Japan on video though so we can relive the experience whenever we want!!! AND IT WAS AMAZING! The restrooms TALKED TO YOU!

Vancouver is very very Chinese :D. In comparison to Toronto I'd say Vancouver is better, even though Toronto has a bigger selection.
And I agree that HK should be better. But Vancouver is pretty darn close.
Terrorist ? =)
Yep, both HK and Vancouver is great, never been to Toronto yet, but would love to go there one day.
Comparing Vancouver and HK, HK should have stronger flavor/taste in their food. Which i couldnt stomach very well... I probably prefer Vancouver for that reason.
Then again, I just had some Alaskan king crab a few days back. That'll be sure to change your outlook on things =)

I haven't been to HK or Vancouver but will hopefully go to Seattle in June next year. In the meantime Melbourne is fantastic for Chinese food, especially in China Town, Little Bourke Street.

Vancouver's merit lies in its authenticity. (As opposed to, say, the very Americanized stuff they serve in States)
Taste-wise (and most certainly variety-wise), still can't beat the country it originated from.
