Yes of course, or like me and just have straight out of the boxes as it is mmmmm room temperature Prawn Spring Rolls, Kung Po King Prawns and Singapore Rice Vermicelli delicious. I think I am a bit weird though as I tend to eat it for breakfast.

Yes - easily safe enough. As you say, you need to make sure it is piping hot. I like to heat in different stages eg a while at say 60%, then at 100% to finish off

Yes it is. Properly refrigerated, Chinese can be kept for three days, and most dishes actually taste better, as with the speed of Chinese cooking, it has a chance to marinate in the frig.
Cheers :-)

yes it should all be fine. i always re-heat chinese food nothing has ever happened to me. the rice may be a little dry, so put some water in it before you microwave it.

If you got it in the fridge fast enough, after cooling to room temp, you don't even have to get it piping hot. It's like any other refrigerated food.

As long as it's piping hot. It's as good as freshly cooked with the exception of deep fried food with batter. Like chips, the batter loses its crispiness.
I don't know who told Mark not to reheat rice. Don't you know fired rice is best with yesterday's instead of freshly cooked rice?

Yes, it is safe and everything, especially if it has MSG on it; it helps the food stay together rather than falling apart. If it doesn't have MSG however, the batter will most likely become soggy and the rice waxy.

Yes it perfectly alright. Done it and survive (=
But however, if you can't finish, dun pop it back in the fridge again and eat it tomorrow. The dish will taste weird when reheated. Risky (=

I'd say:
1) The answer is probably, 'No, it is unsafe. Put it in the bin.
2) I wouldn't give a t*ss. I would eat it without a second thought!
3) Why on earth didn't you eat it last nght??? lol
