| - We came here mostly because my cousin Leslie gave us a $50 Chang's gift card as our wedding present. I've always appreciated that this is one of the healthier restaurant chains. There's a heavy emphasis on fresh veggies, but as long as it includes their NOTORIOUSLY addictive crispy green beans, I don't mind one bit.
So it's kind of strange that we actually didn't have the green beans on this trip. Probably because for me, at least, the Chicken Lettuce Wraps took precedence over everything. It's always been my go-to here to help me with my 'crunchy' fix.
We also decided to chow down with Cecelia's Pork Dumplings, the Chicken AND the Pork Egg Rolls. There were multiple orders of everything - yes, we (make that I) went a little nuts, but it wasn't a bad thing. Paired with drinks, our "app dinner" was so satisfying, that we really didn't need dessert...I know that sounds like we had a choice, but we were so stuffed that we didn't.
The service was excellent as always. Not really a mystery why we hadn't been back in so long, since there are so many great places to eat in the Valley now, so that you never have to go to the Strip if you don't want to.
I'll need to leave a reminder for myself sometime, to come back to Chang's every few weeks, so I won't need the excuse of a gift card...
