| - We opted to pick our meal up so I won't hit on the delivery experience.
Ugh. I've gotta stop eating this shit. Don't get me wrong, I love the occasional "everything's fried, covered in sugar sauce and completely devoid of anything resembling authentic Chinese cuisine" over indulgence, but I just had such a below average experience with King Fong I'm sorta turned off with the whole thing.
First off, let me start by saying that King Fong isn't really doing anything out of the ordinary when compared to its peer group (think Americanized asian take-out). Their menu is exactly the same as everyone else's - actually, when compared side-by-side with the likes of Oriental Palace Buffet, Spring Garden, and Ming Moon, it's hard to tell them apart. I'm pretty sure there's a turnkey "start your own Chinese place" catalog somewhere with all the goodies.
Anyway, here's what we ordered:
Pork Egg Roll - Your typical fried cabbage-filled gut bomb. I wasn't too keen on these. I found them to be bland and the specs of pink that littered the insides were pathetic excuses for meat.
Crab Rangoon - I guess I prefer my rangoon pinched at the top rather than the ravioli style that seems to be making its way around the take-out circuit here in Cleveland. The yellow dough was soft and unseasoned and the cream cheese middle was way too sweet. Oh yeah, crab? What crab?
Pork with Snow Peas - This was one of the biggest disappointments. Upon opening the container we were greeted with an inordinate amount of snow pease and bamboo shoots and only about 6 slices of pork. The mucus-like brown sauce was salty and the pork was like little pieces of pink-rinded shoe leather.
General Tso's Combo Platter - This dish is my go-to. Little bits of breaded and fried chicken covered in a sweet and spicy red sauce. You can't go wrong, right? This particular version with its chewy, fatty little chicken bits and underseasoned shellac was pretty blah. Isn't this dish supposed to have some heat behind it? The pork fried rice was a weird yellow color and they shouldn't have even bothered with the raw broccoli that came with it. That just insults the meat.
I really can't blame King Fong too much. After all, they are only catering to their market, right? They are serving pretty much the exact same food as everyone else. I just think I'm losing my taste for these psuedo-ethnic concoctions. For some reason, I always feel a little ill and slightly guilty whenever I have this kind of food. Sure it's cheap, but is it worth the calories? Maybe I'll stick with PF Chang's the next time I've got a craving for Asian.
P.S.
No spring rolls? Really? I found this an annoying oversite.
We did get two free pops with our order. Anything over $15 qualifies.
