What's the best Chinese dish and why is it lo mein?

I do like good lo mein but most places around me make it too oily. I usually opt for some kung pao chicken with extra heat and fried rice.

What's the difference between lo mein and chow mein? Google says chow means fried and lo means stirred, but there doesn't seem to be any difference in cooking between the two

>> No.15072346

>>15072319

With chow mein the noodles is stir-fried with the vegetables, while with lo mein they're added afterwards.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.
