    I have never gotten a chinese meal (in a restuaran) that was "warm to cool" and would send it back if I did. I would therefore expect a takeaway to be of the same standard and temperature

    I think that you should avoid takeaways if you expect the food to be as hot as if you had ordered in a restaurant.

    I think what the poster meant was that food from a Chinese takeaway tends to cool quick than other foods.

    i love crispy duck and that looks rancid! :o
    as another poster said - it looks like someone's leftovers.

    if my take-away food arrived cold - i would complain and expect a refund/replacement.

    if i didn't like the taste - i just wouldn't order from them again.

    OP as your food was cold and you have that pic of the duck - i would complain again - maybe "she" was having a bad day.
