| - How many time have you been unhappy with your meal and secretly or not so much, told yourself: "Damn, I could have made this so much better!" Well here at Mongolian they give you a chance to express yourself ... and turns out that really few of us are the Mongolians who can grill. As I was piling a bunch of raw goodness on my plate ( chicken, shrimp, sirloin), I was pretty sure that no way it can turn out bad. I was really unfamiliar with sauces but having watched a couple of people pour something orange onto their plates, I decided: they must know what they are doing, and did the same.
And then there was dramatic frying of the food on this huge round griller with some exhilarating which I found quite entertaining.
When they handed me my meal, it looked nothing like I imagined. It looked ( and tasted) like a pile of over-fried garbage. Have you ever put all the jewelry you own at once? Good for you if you didn't. I have. And I experienced the same feeling eating the meal: it was too much at once. I felt incredibly guilty to throw it out so finished it as a punishment for my frivolous ways with fish, poultry and red meat at once.
Of course I acknowledge that "your second" plate is supposed to be oh so much better. But what to do with the first one?
My husband actually loved it and ate it with Joey Tribiani's approach: What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good! Meat, good!
I just wish someone could instruct me on how to make it all work.
Also I am secretly grateful that some things are done by those who know how to do them; I prefer being creative in the areas which will not potentially jeopardize my basic needs such as hunger.
And if I happen to eat garbage, I prefer it to be my favorite kind: ramen noodles and wonder bread bologna sandwiches for instance. And do it behind closed doors away from the public eye.
