Eating Out – Chinese

Here are a few guidelines to steer you in the right direction… 

Helpful Hints

• Start with a lettuce wrap or spare ribs, rather than deep fried appetisers like sesame prawn toast or spring rolls 
• Share portions of boiled rice as opposed to fried rice and noodles
• If you have a penchant for sweet and sour, ask for it to be served with chicken or fish which is not fried in batter
• Fill up with crispy stir-fried vegetables
• Crispy duck is not a bad choice, especially if you load your pancake with cucumber and spring onion and go easy on the duck.

Avoid

• Prawn crackers - are fried and therefore contain a lot of fat
• Chow mein dishes, which are high in calories - choose chop suey or stir-fried food instead
