Hey guys! Sometimes I like to buy Chinese food... Do you like Oriental Food? What have you eaten?

I LOVE ORIENTAL FOOD 
hmmmm, let's see...
last time, I had Lebanese food about two weeks ago: baba ghanoush (char-grilled eggplant, tahina, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic puree—served as a dip), falafel (small deep-fried patties made of highly-spiced ground chick-peas), diced parsley salad with burghul, tomato and mint(tabouleh) and baklava my my my...that was soooo good

My woman and me are preparing chinese these last past months, and I must say that I really enjoy that type of food. It's packed with veggies, goes easy on the stomach, and of course - tasty 
I thought that chinese food will be more expensive then the usual stuff that we cook, but it's really not, the only thing that costs a bit more is soya sauce, and if you can get that one cheap, it can be pretty cheap and very healthy to prepare it often.
We create lots of variants, but we prepare some variation of sechuan chicken most often, it looks similar to this:
Very easy to prepare, and you can put any type of veggies (or other meat even) you have in the fridge, which is great
cucumbers, carrots, big peppers, chilli peppers, zucchini, tomato, corn, onion, garlic.. any combination of these veggies are cooked together on some water and soya sauce, then add previously pan-fried meat in, cook some more, add cornstarch to make a syrupy type of sauce from the water/soya sauce, and of course as side dish - cooked rice

I went to a restaurant yesterday:
All you can eat sushi!
But also nudels, rice, chicken, pork and fresh fruit

Had similar dinner 10 days or so ago, we got one free buffet menu from exclusive oriental restaurant, and it turned out awesome, all you can it, and monster buffet... Now I'm hungry too...

Food threads are always popular here! 
and I don't know why but Ivan and Cosmin are always there... and I'm sure that Ben is coming!

If you like, you can include pasta with szechuan chicken, instead of rice, it's awesome

I love fried rice because it is so versatile. You can put shrimp, pork, steak, chicken & also most any type of veggies. I make it a lot but when I make it, I use ground sausage in it. Wow...now I'm hungry!

Ivan! We should start a cooking show along with Ben, on GMC! 'Stay lean and play mean! - Proper food for a proper guitarist! That should be the creed we all live by!
Of course, Ben would make the healthy part fade a little, with large amounts of donuts!

I really love thai food and chineese food but we dont have a resturant that serves it here so i cant eat it that often.

That's not a bad idea at all, although making such funny video could prove fatal

We would suddenly turn all of GMC into food obsessed people
which I see nothing wrong with

yeah man! we could have here the section... Cooking Master Class!
with lessons divided in the same way... a main video of you talking about the final meal and eating it.. and then some parts explaining the process.. Instead of the Guitar Pro you can make an excel file with the ingredients and the backing would become motivational music.
