Well thought I would report back having just finished it............absolutely gorgeous, couldn't believe how much I got - probably a 1/3 more than proper chinese takeaway portions. Even the Prawn Crackers were lush and there was a Big bag of them too (50g):smiley::smiley:

any vegetarian options????
abx to oopslala
10 Feb 10#12
Yep, there is a vegetarian option... They can **** ***!
Bit of Mock the Week there.
Just kidding.
There's the egg fried rice, vegetable spring rolls and, depending on what type of vegetarian you are.... there's prawn crackers.
EDIT: Super censored for people who can guess that **** + off can only have one swear-outcome!

I'm not so sure about that. I can think of one beginning with P and even one beginning with F.

10 Feb 10#14
I realised that after!
The joke involves the one beginning with F but I guess either word works well. :thumbsup:

Are these ok to heat in microwave? We have no kitchen atm, so microwave options are good!

These mixed packs can be a bit naff from some places, but the comments about these Morrisons ones are promising. Have some heat.

Just had the black bean and it was minging, the rice gave off a burn't smell (but wasn't) burn't). Got the sweet and sour for tomorrow should be better judging by comments.
Don't mean to be negative as it is an amazing price.

Can I freeze the duck / pancakes?
stemcell
11 Feb 10#26
We got one last night and cooked it all in the oven...
Sweet & Sour Chicken - Acceptable although chicken chewy
Chicken Curry - Tasted of curry powder and curry powder alone, most left
Large Egg Fried Rice - Large portion, flavor ok but rice was stodgy and overcooked at factory
Prawn Crackers- Large portion for supermarket, nice taste and not greasy.
Vegetable Spring Rolls- Small, crisped up nicely but filling quite salty, still edible
Overall worth £3, just a few small alterations could improve it...rice could just have been a bad batch.

It was at best acceptable.
the rice seemed overcooked despite not being in the oven for as long as stated, the sweet and sour was ok (didnt eat that one), the chicken curry was pretty bland tbh.
The spring rolls, again were acceptable.
The prawn crackers were the highlight!

I don't normally like shop bought chinese does this taste nice
AMO

I enjoyed it. Prawn Crackers were definately very good.
Rice should be oven cooked as it is slightly over cooked and a lot of moisture there to keep it moist, so oven cooking is good. After oven cooking, it is good to heat up a frying pan (very hot), splash of oil and fry it for 5 minutes. Important for the hot frying pan - otherwise sticking will occur.
Sweet & Sour and Curry can be microwaved or oven cooked - will taste the same.
Spring rolls definately in the oven.
Really enjoyed it. Other places can do better, but not for £3.

We regularly buy Chinese stuff from Morrison's and we have a couple of these in the fridge ready for tomorrow.
2 things that should be sorted. One of the options contains curry, yet real Chinese food doesn't have 'curry' on the menu (unless it is Malay or Singapore which this is not) so this restricts the choice for us. It seems to have been invented by chip shops and supermarkets and both looks and tastes dire. Of all the hundreds of Chinese meals to choose from, why curry?
Secondly, have supermarkets forgotten that there are other meats than chicken? Every oriental dish in supermarkets seems to be chicken. Come on, variety is the spice of life.
