5. Chilli chicken.
Deep fried chicken nuggets tossed in a thick concoction of soya sauce and spices galore. What else can we expect from Indian-Chinese food?

Chicken dishes in China rarely come dunked in sauce. Since the Chinese don't like to waste, the offal of the bird are usually used to prepare dishes like chilli chicken and they are dirt cheap.

Chicken is roasted, barbequed (char sieuw) with a sweet sauce or steamed. It is then neatly sliced and served with rice and condiments. This is a perfect example of how traditional food focuses on the main ingredient and doesn't try to over power it with other flavours.
6. Chilli paneer.
The vegetarian substitute of chilli chicken, paneer is probably unheard of in China and is available as cottage cheese at fancy grocery stores.

Tofu is popular in China and makes an appearance everywhere, even in dessert. The Sichuan province in China specialises in a dish called Mapo Tofu and it's as simple as chilli paneer. The sauce is prepared from broad bean paste known as doubanjiang and Sichuan peppercorns.

Sweet and sour sauce in china is dark and uses soya sauce as well as citrus fruits to get a sour taste. Agar and sugar are also added to get sweetness that is in perfect harmony with the tartness. It is best enjoyed with seafood.
8. American Chopsuey.
As kids we loved it! Crispy noodles with a thick sauce similar to sweet and sour and topped off with a fried egg.

Crispy noodles are not foreign to China but make a rare appearance. To mark the lunar new year, families toss colourful and crispy noodles on a platter as a wish for prosperity. They also make an appearance in a hotpot of viscous soup that is filled with vegetables.

9. Darsaan.
Restaurants here have convinced us that traditional Chinese dessert means 'Darsaan'. Deep fried noodles of pastry that are coated in warm honey and sprinkled generously with sesame seeds. The platter is served warm with ice cream.

Chinese desserts extends a lot more, from steamed buns with a sweet filling to puddings made with agar-agar (unflavoured gelatin) and sago garnished with seasonal fruits. Almond cookies are very popular during festive seasons along with moon cake (picture below), eaten to mark the middle of autumn. Darsaan is a complete western creation.
