Why do they give you insane amounts of food at Chinese restaurants?

I ordered an orange chicken combination plate three days ago and I'm still eating off of it. Not sure if I just eat like a bird or if the portions are just that ginormous.

Have you not heard the old joke

Why do Chinese restaurants never get robbed?

Because an hour later you'd be broke again.

My partner is like you, she eats like a bird and when we get a takeaway she'll have half for breakfast next morning. I'll scoff my half at the time.
