| - so if youve checked out the 8 pictures i put up on this one, youll see what i want to express. if you cant see what it is then let me tell you:
GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
that grr is not because the food was bad or the service was bad or im bad. its because YET AGAIN i was so looking forward to the food, so interested in spending time with my dad (who was there with me), and so goddamn hungry that I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY FOOD.
so please focus on the ravaged table picture and know that the food, before the table, was ravaged.
now in my life i have worked towards not being an over-eater. sometimes this is quite difficult to achieve, especially when the food looks and tastes so great. it becomes even more difficult when its chinese food and you are eating it with only one other person. in my family, and i dont think this is unusual at all, we like to order a whole bunch of dishes and share them - but its only in chinese restaurants we do this - with every dish. so its just me and my dad and we order 4 dishes and 1 soup each and a beer a piece.
we consumed virtually all of it. we had: one lobster deep fried with ginger and green onion, yet mein noodle dish with crab meat and vegetables, shrimp and vegetables with cashews, chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, a minced beef soup for me and a hot and sour soup for him, plus two tsing tao beers. seeing all that food felt like what it must have felt like for you enduring the length of the last sentence.
i didnt try his soup so i cant comment, but my soup was pretty good. i still cant say that i love the glutinous style soup - glutinous is the kind word, it looks and feels like snot - and had i known that it would have been like that i might have reconsidered, but i was virtually closing my eyes and picking stuff off the menu so there you go.
about five minutes after our scorching soups arrived, the lobster arrived. bad timing i would say. we could barely eat our soups they were so hot and all i could think about was trying that lobster, because i knew it was getting progressively colder as it sat there untouched. so i actually stopped eating my soup and had some of it. it was quite tasty, but i didnt quite get the outside shell of the lobster being breaded. (Lobster chips?)
then the chinese broccoli arrived. if i knew it was going to be chinese broccoli i might have reconsidered, because i dont enjoy those as much as normal broccoli, but it was great to have something green and despite the fact that they are a bit hard to handle with chopsticks, they were quite tasty.
the shrimp and cashew dish was decent but pretty bland. both it and the noodle dish to follow needed hot sauce to accompany it. the noodles, though, had a nice consistency and were enjoyable.
they served us oranges at the end and fortune cookies of course. mine was something like: you take notice of lifes most beautiful things...
(in bed.)
