I'm relatively sure I know the answer to this already, but I'm asking for the sake of clarity. Chinese resturants typically do not use partially hydrogenated oils, do they? To the best of my understanding, most use typical off the shelf veggie oil and peanut oil (which is free of trans fatty acids as it has not undergone the partial hydrogenation process). I'm pretty sure Chinese is the one area that's still generally safe from the trans fats, but does anyone know of any resturants that do contain it?

I do know that it depends on the owners, but I'm saying, in general . . .

you really cant be sure...it all depends on the owners. besides, they could be deep frying your dim sum in the same fat and oil they used to deep fry their prawns and chicken

I'm pretty sure the Yum Sing restaurant just around the corner from me contains it. Lotta heart disease in the area :-)
My mum had an Indonesian restaurant and she used vegetable oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil and sesame oil. I don't know what the trans-fat content of those are.
