What ingredients in "real" Cantonese chow mein?

First of all, where to eat this at a value-for-money price in the GTA (sit down or take-out)? With the most ingredients preferable.

Then what ingredients should it have in it? I've had (or lack thereof):

- dryish noodles
- soggy noodles
- shitake mushrooms
- bbq pork
- sliced beef
- sliced chicken
- squid
- scallops
- brocolli
- green peppers
- carrots
- bean sprouts
- shrimp
- crab sticks
- water chestnut
- bamboo
- bok choy

    I've never had mine with crab sticks. There's also onions and baby corn.
    Helena's in North York (Steeles, I think) has a good old-fashioned Cantonese Chow Mein.

      Ming's Noodle Cafe
      3447 Kennedy Rd just south of Steeles
      You get your money worth for their fried noodle and fried rice (starting from $5)
      BBQ pork, sliced chicken, squid, shrimp, crab sticks, shanghai bok choy in a clear sauce served on deep fried crispy egg noodle. Don't forget to try with their house made chili oil... hmm good
