I used to travel to the PRC on business a few times a year, usually spending 2-3 weeks there at a time, more often than not away from the big, mainstream cities tourists visit. That led to me eating in folks' homes, or with the factory workers I was visiting.
For the most part, I have no idea what I was eating - except for duck - but it was generally SO good, compared to the stuff I've gotten at most Chinese restaurants in the US, that I rarely order it.

Hot and sour soup. Even mediocre hot and sour soup. On a cold day (yeah, yeah, I don't know what cold really means).
Things with schezuan pepper corns (can you say numb tongue?)

A good plate of Schezuan Beef, nice and spicy, is always a treat. However, if the Chinese restaurant is next to a Vietnamese restaurant I'm either going to have a terrible decision to make OR I'll eat twice.

Dim sum! How did I forget dim sum?
If you add Vietnamese to the list, I get to add Thai, Malay/Singaporean/Indonesian (places I can get roti prata). Burmese and Cambodian, not so much.
What? I live in the Bay Area. We're spoiled for choices.

Having never set foot in Hooters I can't say what they serve. I prefer to eat without unobtainable distractions. 
Down here in Georgia, ethnic foods are either Soul, Yankee, or Southern. Exotic would be Chicago-style or California pizza. What else is there? |

Singapore Noodle. I first had it at Ocean Restaurant on Clement Street in SF in the late 1970s. I don't know if that place is still around.
