In the back of your book you will find some syns for indian/chinese. I went to a chinese buffet the other week and had plain steamed rice, vegetable noodles, mushrooms and veg in oyster sauce and then fresh melon and orange slices for dessert. Its definitley do-able to stay on plan!!
From chinese I would get some chow mein and egg fried rice is surprisingly low. From an indian, rogan josh or dhansak are low. And I think potato side dishes are maybe the best? Don't quote me on the potato dishes though as I always get vegetable pilau

If you are sick of STS I would say forget the chinese, have a guilt free SW meal. You'll only feel bad about a chinese. When I feel tempted to have a take away I simply ask myself "Am I ok to step on the scales this week and NOT lose weight?" The answer is always NO.
10 minutes of pleasure isn't worth stepping on those scales and seeing a gain that will take you another week to work off. Trust me.
Fight it!!
