Now go ahead and google it. :dielaughing: Did not have to Google it I knew it means "Whishing you prosperity and increase in fortunes" and this version is usually taken to mean Happy New Year (Chinese New Year greeting, but the more correct is Gung Hay Fat Choi. I worked with a Chinese Lady!!!! :naughty: Title: Re: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI Post by: Volznut on February 08, 2013, 04:45:22 EST Yeah, the "K" does have more of a "G" sound in Cantonese.

That's not Chinese food! :biggrin: It is in East Tennessee. :laugh: Title: Re: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 09, 2013, 03:47:38 EST It is in East Tennessee. :laugh: According to my local Chinese buffet, so are pizza, chicken McNuggets, and Little Debbies. :dance: Title: Re: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI Post by: Volznut on February 10, 2013, 05:47:46 EST It is in East Tennessee. :laugh: It is all over the US. So is sweet and sour chicken. I have yet to find that in any menu in my Chinese travels! :laugh: Title: Re: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI Post by: Creek Walker on February 10, 2013, 06:07:01 EST I am admittedly southern-fried to my core, but I've found that the best ethnic foods are imitations. Sweet & sour chicken vs. real Chinese. Tex/Mex vs. real Mexican. Etc...
An obvious exception to that is Italian, which our spinoffs do not imitate well at all. :wave: Title: Re: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI Post by: Volznut on February 10, 2013, 07:43:09 EST I am admittedly southern-fried to my core, but I've found that the best ethnic foods are imitations.

Don't agree with you on Mexican, real Mexican food is much better than the crap you get at Chi chis. Italian is the same, but Americans like meat, so they had to add more meat to Italian stuff.

I have yet to find that in any menu in my Chinese travels! :laugh: The lady I worked with taught me to make some Chinese dishes many of them use noodles and vegetables and very little meat. The noodles are usually a "spaghetti" analogue (most made with a combination of regular and rice flour)....carrots, celery, chinese cabbage (which is not bok choy or savoy cabbage), and some very thin sliced water chestnuts (which are considered a dellicacy by some in China but not by others - very regional cooking preferences)....and usually chicken or pork except for seaside areas where it is pork and seafood.
