The same amount/ pressure of running water that comes out of the tap during the "drought" period - in Thailand the amount of water and water pressure is so low during drought / summer accept for places that have water tank on the roof to store water.

I don't like American Chinese food It's so different to English Chinese food... Or am I just going to the wrong places?

Yeah, I don't like the American Chinese food I've tried either... But like you, it could just be the place.

Having never eaten Asian food (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc) anywhere but in the U.S. and Canada, I can't say for certain. However, I'd have to imagine it's not all that different, considering that Asian food isn't native to either the U.S. or the UK, but to the Asian countries to which it belongs. There might be a few differences here and there (every restaurant is unique in some fashion or another), but overall, I can't see there being some huge, startling difference between the Chinese food in the U.S. and the UK. It's more than likely where you've been eating, since some places just have pure, plain ####### and others serve excellent dishes.

And according to legend, the Chop Suey style actually originated from the Galley of a US Navy ship in Kowloon Harbor back in the early 1900s.

I like some of my cheap chinese food with french fries. Goes good with all that sauce.

Yes, but I was referring to "decent" Chinese food. Not the kind you can purchase at some sort of Chinese fast food equivalent.

Hey decency is in the taste buds to some!

I don't either.That's why I only eat Thai,Cambodian,or,Vietnamese food here.These places make Chinese food and I have found they do a great job at it.

The best chinese food I've had outside China/Hong Kong is here in LA - or more specifically Alhambra/Arcadia

When we first came to this country we had to live with a family from China and they showed us that their food is not even close to the chinese food made in chinese restaurants. One day they had this soupy white rice that had to be slurped and was very bland. Then we had some green gelatinous duck eggs that were horrible. And then they served crab... my crab's legs and eyes were still moving aon my plate nd they just showed me to pull out its legs and to suck the meat out of them.

Yeah... Panda Express rocks!!!!
