The song does say 'a chinese'. It's common in the UK to say 'a chinese', meaning chinese food. We'd say let's get a pizza, or a curry or a chinese. It's just what we say when we get take out food.
I love this song. Personally, I think it's about an idea relationship she has in her head. Possibly a real one. It's really warm and homely feeling, aspiring to normal things that people want in a relationship. Comfort and companionship. I love how British the song is too, the referances are just very typical, such as taking the dog for a walk, having beans on toast and a nice cup of tea, right down to getting a chinese on a night and watching some tv while curled up with your partner.
