Well, actually - cornstarch is a slow carb, so that shouldn't be a
problem for most people, not to mention the tiny amount used in
cooking. There was no flour in the foods I ate, well, I take that
back - I did have a spring roll - nor was there honey, noodles, oyster
sauce and I have no idea about chinese sherry, but I doubt that was in
there too.

So we were careful about what we ordered. There are some chinese
foods I love but won't order because of the sweetness or they're
floured - Kung Pao chicken, sweet & sour anything, chow mein (or I'll
insist on noodles on the side), plum sauce, etc.
