    Always wonder if Chinese food has a few cats and dogs thrown in with the other ingredients.

    Might just be a shitty restaurant. I'm guessing you were eating at some westernized Asian restaurant, so they add a lot of frying, oil, sugar, salt and cornstarch witch is gross. You should eat real Chinese foods and I can assure you that you won't be sick. Try to find real recipes and cook it at home, instead.

    Maybe you're eating at really bad Chinese restaurants?

    You could try eating in a chinese restaurant where chinese people eat.

    Are you trying lots of different menu items and they all make you vomit, or the same one each time?

    Never tried it. Though I probably would vomit as well.

    I'm not a fan of it either. I don't like rice in large amounts (especially if it has no flavour to it, which it often doesn't in Asian cuisines), I don't like noodles either.

    Also I feel like it's deceptive. When you see "Asian food" on the internet or on TV or in posh restaurants, they dress it up with far more meat, nice sauces and vegetables that aren't typically used in Asian countries (at least not at home with normal people). I went to Thailand in 2012, and the food was nowhere near as dressy as everyone talks about "Thai food" being. It was a bowl of rice and peas most nights.

      I went to Thailand once too. There were these vendors that sold these big sautéed prawns on a stick, kinda spicy and very good, did you ever try those?
      Alot of other dishes were largely rice and vegetables, definitely with less meat than in Westernized Thai restaurants. Always spicy.

        Yeah I did see some of those, they were nice as a snack :) I also got some pineapple chunks fresh from a market ready to eat, but you have to be quick because they go bad literally in minutes with the heat.

        During my stay though, we weren't in the cities for the most of it. We went out into the really remote villages and stayed with locals, and their diet was very basic and boring (not that I was going to be a dick and complain in front of them, they were cooking for us). I lost so much weight because I barely ate.

          I ate mostly in Bangkok and Pattaya. There were a couple times I ate from little roadside places on more rural roads, and I got sort of sick from it, meaning I had cramps and had to stay near a bathroom for a couple of days. They sort of warned us about Western visitors eating from those kinds of places where the locals' stomachs were more used to. I never had a problem from the spicy prawns on a stick though

    Sounds like "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome", which is believed to be linked to sensitivity to monosodium glutamate (MSG).

      The symptoms of that are more like an allergic reaction than just vomiting: fever, chest pain, collapse

    Seems like they have added more garlic and salt to it over the years. The Chinese restaurant by me has the hottest looking American/Chinese mix owner. I'd love to rub sweet & sour sauce all over her :)

    I have (in the USA ) never seen chinese food that was made with fresh ingredients. I have seen real chinese food on the internet and it looks nothing like USA chinese food. My wife likes Chinese but i refuse to eat any of it. Now if i went to china and ate fresh meats and vegetables i would feel great.

      Americanized Chinese restaurants are not the same as Chinese restaurants in China and in other Asian countries. In Thailand, the Chinese restaurants were also more like in China than in America. The spices and flavors are not the same thing, and there are alot of things in dishes not found in American Chinese restaurants such as eel, octopus, jellyfish, sea cucumber, goat meat, chicken or pigs feet, fish heads, seaweed, Chinese water chestnuts (which are different from the water chestnuts in American Chinese dishes). And there's no crab Rangoon or simple things like beef and broccoli, etc. That's all American.
