I know this sounds stupid but why oh why do they have to put prawns in prawn crackers!! lol! I used to love them but can't eat them because I'm a vegan. They don't put beef in beef crisps for example!

I'm not sure all Prawn Crackers have prawn in them. I remember seeing it on Watchdog I think.
Usually have mixed starters, Peking duck, either beef with black bean or beef with ginger and spring onion and eggfried rice or Singapore noodles (shared between two, obviously).
Salt and pepper ribs (sometimes called salt and chilli ribs), smoked chicken/salt and pepper chicken, egg or vegetable fried rice. If I am feeling brave I will have chilli oil too. It's the hottest thing I have ever tasted in my life!
The funny thing is that the majority of food in Chinese restaurants you can't actually get in China. Although I wouldn't mind an English version Chicken chow mein.

I went to China on a day trip about 8 years ago whilst staying in HK. Part of the tour was to take us to a genuine Chinese Restaurant in Guangzhou. Needless to say the food was unrecogniseable from what's served up here and I'm convinced to this day that we were eating an animals foot of some kind.
My favourite is Dim Sums, Singapore Noodles and Crispy Beef in Birds Nest.
I'll try anything that doesn't have onions in it, though usually I just order something and ask them not to put them in.
Usually I go for......
Prawn or Beef Curries
Deep Fried Crispy Beef
Anything with Sweetcorn or Chinese Mushrooms
I alternate between fried rice and soft noodles to go with it. Starters I usually stick with BBQ Ribs or hot wings, though I guess your starting to see a trend here in hot and spicy selections .
