I was feeling really sick today and when I thought about CMU campus food, it literally made me dry-heave for half an hour. What I really needed was some good comfort Chinese food like my mom makes to make me feel better. Cool Ice Taipei came to mind. I usually go there for afternoon snacks like the QQ Jelly Tea and marinated tea eggs when i feel like having a quiet afternoon. (They're also the only restaurant I've found in Pittsburgh that sell pop chicken btw!!!)
I decided to give the food a go today, and I am so glad I did. I ordered the QQ Passionfruit Tea like usual, and today I decided to try the beef stew noodles.
When the beef stew noodles arrived I was very pleasantly surprised. First of, the bowl was HUGE. I mean, like as large as a large Pho bowl. Instead of the overly salty powdered beef stew that I was expecting, the beef stew smelled and tasted slightly of Chinese herbs. It was light and very nice on my fragile stomach. The QQ Jelly tea was good as per usual.
I will definitely be coming back for more meals and shaved ice in the future!
