  • Hehe, this sounds wildly familiar, except Chinese food in China is super super oily too so you also have that feeling of needing to know EXACTLY where the nearest public toilets are. And let me tell you, Chinese public toilets are not nice.

  • I had assumed that there were few similarities between what I order from my local and what you eat in China but maybe I'm wrong!

    Our local takeaway is not very oily for a Chinese takeaway but it appears they sure make up for it with the Sodium. I guess I'm just surprised that a single meal can have such a profound effect on my body.

  • There are lots of differences but a mountain of salt, a mountain of sugar and a vat of oil remain the constant features! I (thankfully) like Chinese food but I don't end up eating it that much as a) it's so unhealthy and b) it's a massive pain to find veggie food.

  • MSG? Addidtives? I've had a similar thing in the past where I've become really phlegmy and its whacked my breathing completely out of sync resulting in a stitch a shit time all round and its after I've eaten a chinese/takeaway.
