Is it not a fairly standard offering in a Chinese?

I've never seen it in a chinese. It's a cooking ingredient really.

Place out the road in Sandyford:

Luóbo Gao - Traditional Chinese turnip cake pieces, pan fried in XO sauce

XO 酱带子虾 Fried prawns & scallops in XO sauce

You sound as if you are Christopher fúcking Columbus discovering some **** nobody has ever heard of.

Seeing it on a menu doesn't make you some culinary expert. I bet you've never tasted it.

Fried chicken from the petrol station, that's the extent of your gustatory exploration.

Yes, our local takeaway does a variety of XO dishes. They're a bit meh, tbh.

They also do Noodles Singapore Style that is barely edible due to the intense chilli heat :cloud9:

:sigh: Do you cook with it, was what I was asking.

A tablespoon in the broth in which you are poaching your spare ribs, for example, imbues the pork with the most remarkable flavour.

I rarely cook Chinese food tbh, sc. Pissed up in restaurants or the occasional takeaway.

I do cook up a nasi goreng every now and again.
Indonesia, well, it's near China. Well certainly nearer than we are.

I have as I remember thinking "what the fúck sort of name is XO sauce" totally unaware of what it was.

Didn't make much of an impression on me from memory, but then such is Chinese food. It fills a hole but you are not going to eat it two nights in a row.

Well. After the thought of chinese food was planted yesterday, guess what we had for dinner?

szechaun chicken
noodles singapore style
special chow mein
beef in black bean sauce
mountains of fried rice, plain chow mein and chips. (just what do the chinese takeaways do to their chips?)

Lunch?

Leftovers :eat:

No XO sauce, no party. That's my motto.
