Deja vu.
As someone who gets different types of Asian food either from restaurants or take-out, with some pretty decent places around here actually, I can say you could do much better for your buck.
That is also literally the smallest carton of sweet and sour sauce I have ever seen.

Pathetic.

I got myself some Manicotti, a quart of Ministrone, a whole damn loaf of bread and I'm washing it down with the sweet satisfaction that everyone can suck my dick because I'm eating Italian FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd
Post your dinner, cause it's not better than mine.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Other than the camera quality, that looks pretty decent. Not bad OP. Not great, but not terrible. It actually does seem much better than the $30 Italian meal this thread is so blatantly parodying.

Looks decent. In the UK the chicken usually comes in fried, battered chunks.
I also don't think the sweet and sour sauce portion looks small.

What on earth is that stuff on the right? It looks like jelly with bits of tinned fruit suspended in it that you get at kids parties...

Seriously? It looks big enough to drown the entire chicken in it.

Chinesen?
I am wrapping my brain trying to figure it out in pinyin.

It's sweet and sour sauce.
Those chunks will be pineapple, onion, red pepper and what looks like cucumber but I have never seen that before.
I usually like to start my day off with breakfast, not dinner.
The best part was the Italian food was 30 bucks.

It looks like you could stuff maybe 10-12 peas inside of it.
But then I haven't tried Asian food while I've visited Europe, and America usually likes bigger things, so I may just have my expectations melded as that's like, a third of the size of what I'm used to. I may also be spoiled, I've traveled all the US and out of places I've tried Asian food in, I'd say where I live is the third best I've personally had.

Wait, is the giant cup of soup looking thing Sweet and Sour sauce, or the dinky little cup of red stuff next to it?
I thought the little red cup was the sauce, and the cup was some kind of soup. I've never seen Sweet and Sour with stuff floating in it.
Chinesen. Whoops. That was not intended. xD
As for the food itself, that actually comes from my favorite restaurant around here. And the size of the meal is actually pretty big, at least in Germany. I haven't found another restaurant yet which offered this much for that price. Maybe it's different in other countries. As for the size of the sauce, it's big. Really big. I actually don't eat that much sauce, so it's way way WAY too much for me. I just dip the chicken in it and after I am done there is probably like 1/5 missing, if it's even that much.

The giant cup is the sauce
Can get the same here in Hamburg for 6,50 Euro.
Still looks good OP. Take out in Germany gets expensive as heck... I could eat for two whole days for this amount of money (including drinks). Ever ordered a pizza at smileys.de? their prices went up 3-4 Euros per pizza. Pizza rolls 2,50 Euros. Just an example. For 10 Euros (I tried myself) I was able to make more than 30 filled (with chicken) pizza rolls which were delicious.
Lol the pot holds about 250-300 ml... you want to tell me that you get about 1 liter of sauce in America? No surprise so many people are overweight over there.

I think the giant cup is supposed to be a cury, which you can use as sauce, but that little cup is definitely sweet and sour sauce.
To be honest, I have no idea what that giant cup is. It looks soupy, but I don't know. It's a bit too dark red for Sweet and Sour sauce. Maybe some Sweet and Sour Soup?

No, trust me, the giant cup is the sweet and sour sauce.
Pretty standard here in Europe.

That surely is a lot of food for that money. And it looks good too. Tasty, yum.
The giant pot is the sweet and sour soup... the little red one is the curry one of course. What.
Edit: Sweet and Sour Soup contains vegetables guys.

Interesting, out of all the times I've eaten Asian food in America, I can tell you the sauce usually comes in canisters like the side there, but... much bigger.
While I've not seen it served in a cup like that, usually a bigger cup like that would be a cury. I have not seen anyplace around here that would serve sauce in a big carton like that, nor have I seen such soupy Sweet and Sour sauce before.
I don't anymore since a few years, but their pizza rolls were really good. Also our little Smileys here in Hamburg Harburg makes a profit of over 3 Millionen Euros a year and it is really small lol. So many people still order there... I changed to Ready Pizza
I've worked at Hello Pizza and I never want to order a pizza there.. MassiveNights

It's quite syrup-like and very sweet, some places it's pretty thick, so you couldn't eat it as a soup but yeah they always give you too much.

Good luck putting that shit in your mouth, like what's the point then ?
We have that? Oh cool.
Also, this is from a real restaurant, it's not a take out. They also have a All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet which is really great.
