These foods are typically unique to where you eat them For example neither deep fried ice cream or honey chicken are "Chinese food" here in Canada. The Wikipedia article does a pretty job of identifying which North American "Chinese food" dishes map to food you might eat in China and which do not. I don't know if you can construct a similar list for Australian "Chinese food", but look for ingredients like carrots and tomatoes, as well as anything salad-like, to be particular to your home version of Chinese food and less likely to be available in China or other parts of Asia.
