that's funny andy, you looked like a whiteboy on the pic...
anyway, my favorite is chow mein (west coast) aka lo mein (in east coast)
with moo goo gai pan (aka chicken with chinese veggies and musroom) quite healthy....
orange beef is very tasty too (get it if you are in Richmond, VA from a place called House of Hunan).
then get some good orange scallops at this place in Charlotte NC, i think it is called Taiwan Garden or something?
salty spicy fried squid is very good if you like squid (try the place in Eden-Mall in Fairfax VA, try the same thing with softshell crab too)
The Water Wheel in Tahoe, NV has very good Red Cooked Tofu (aka roasted homestyle tofu)
The Hunan Palace in silver spring MD got the best Taiwanese snack/dimsum
