“Between You And Me” – Fave Food

Chinese food is an easy answer for me. From a young age, my mum and dad would buy us a Chinese meal to celebrate birthdays. We would often take home Chinese range dishes from Marks and Spencer’s food hall (to cook at home), or sometimes we would order takeout.

My love for Chinese food has never wavered, even though I don’t get as many opportunities to eat it as I did when I was younger. I even tried cooking my own Chinese food a long time ago, experimenting with prawn toast, sweet and sour chicken, and more. While I enjoyed making it, I must admit that the prawn toast and a pan full of oil were a little dicey!

My sister always reminds me of a visit to a local Chinese restaurant. When I arrived to collect my regular take out, my greeting was, “Here’s your dinner, Martin!” Good times. My sister found that amusing she guessed I went there more than I let on.

The difficulty with Chinese food is that it’s so tempting to order a lot of dishes, especially when you mix an extreme amount of rice, noodles, and meat. It’s just a shame that it can be so pricey nowadays.

While on holiday this year, we managed to have a decent all you can eat Chinese. It’s just a shame that no such buffet exists in my town anymore. However, now that I am in the mindset for such a meal, we have just ordered, particularly as we were emailed a 50% off voucher.
