I love their chinese chicken salad. Even though I love burgers, I always try to order this lovely salad. Here's what's usually in it.
Good greens (no iceberg or romaine), a sprinkling of rice noodles, tangerine slices, almond slices, two small vegetable spring rolls, sliced grilled chicken and a sesame ginger dressing (on the side). Last week it was so good that I ate the rest for breakfast when I couldn't finish it for dinner. It is quite plentiful and yummy.
Last night I went over to Talking Stick specifically for this salad and dragged hubby with me.
Last night was not as good as usual. The greens played a minor part in this particular salad. Isn't the greens why people get a salad? There were some greens but a PLOP of rice noodles were on top drowning out the greens. I don't get a salad for the noodles, I get it for the greens. The noodles are supposed to be a garnish not the main dish. Could they be running out of greens and masked it by plopping lots of noodles on top? Disappointed.
The two crunchy spring rolls were delicious. And the sprinkling of almond slices was generous. But what happened to my lovely pieces of grilled chicken? Very few pieces of chicken! I had bragged to hubby that my salad was going to be better than his burger with sweet potato fries but this is a bet I could not win. His burger and fries were good; my salad not so much.
I don't know why they ruined it for me. In retrospect, I should have gone back to the counter and explained what was wrong with my salad. I will try them one more time and hope that this time they won't ruin it.
