Chinese food

Battered shrimp? Call social services.

Sounds like you're talking about tempura, the Japanese dish. This is very good for people not used to Asian food, as it's very mildly flavored and just uses the food they're used to.

Not sure why you guys are talking about vermicelli in chinese food. Vermicelli in egg rolls?

GOT I think it was recommended Pad See Ew for thai food. I tried it and got hooked right away. Good stuff.

I'd suggest trying some of the Asian vegetable dishes, too. A good place makes them nice and crunchy and fresh and with good sauces.
