Tomorrow night I have a rehearsal dinner to go to with my Husband. The dinner is going to be at a Chinese restaurant and honestly, I have NO idea how to deal with it.

I haven't had Chinese in probably close to a year, and certainly not since the band so I'm a little worried .

I have done the rice thing but other than that, any suggestions on what is safe (ie, things that don't get stuck or make you pukey). Just trying to get my head around it before I walk in the door!

Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

Walk around the buffet and scout it out first.  I found that steamed veggies were good.  I also took some chicken chow mein.  It was in a lighter sauce than some of the others.  I had no problem with crab rangoons, egg rolls, or chicken wings.  Just remember the sodium is high in chinese food, and so is the fat.  If you can find something in a light sauce, that would be better.  I did realize that I ate way, way less than I ever did before.  Oh I did stay away from the pork and chicken teryaki.  Seemed a bit dry.

I think Im worried about the drything too... they tend to cook the hell out of everything!

Thanks for the suggestions. At least I know Ill have hubs there with me scouting things out with his inability to have much salt at all..... we are gonna be a cute pair trying to work our way around that place. I dont think his mother could have done a better job finding a place where hubs and I to eat

Well I am sure this is way too late, but if they have steamed dumplings that has worked well for both hubby and I they are called dim sum dumplings and they are steamed and pre ground meat so it goes down well for him.  lol I have one and I am full.  but it is easy to go down and the sauce is a ginger soy so it does have alot of sodium so just dip and shake it a bit.  Hope this helps for the next time you go.  Also the Yummy Garden in Dover now does an assortment of steamed dumplings on sat, sun and Monday for lunch.

Thanks for the suggestion on the Dum Sum, Ill have to remember it for next time!

The dinner was a pretty significant fail, mother-in-law ordered everything and it was like a sit down, pass around dinner making it hard to scope things out. Plus it just... kept... coming.... I have NEVER seen to much food in my LIFE!! At one point I just walked away as the sight of it was making me pukey!  However, I didnt get stuck and I havent bloated out yet so I guess overall, I survived ;)
