| - I am starting a campaign to replace the interjection "Holy Cow" with "Ho Lee Chow" -- but only for crappy things. Example: "Ho Lee Chow! Check out the muffin top on that chick!" or, "Ho Lee Chow! I can't believe he left you at the altar!" or, perhaps, "Ho Lee Chow! The food at Ho Lee Chow is terrible!"
...because it *is*, folks. It's bad. It's probably the worst of the egregiously worst American-based Chinese (ABC) food I've ever had. Worse than P.F. Changs, worse than Chin Chin, worse than Panda Express. We're talking:
- General Tso's Chicken that was all breading and barely chicken
- Beef and Broccoli that uses extremely fatty and over-marinated cuts of beef
- Wonton Soup with a strangely sweet taste, like meat that's gone bad (also: delivered in EVIL STYROFOAM CONTAINERS)
- Veggie Fried Rice made with rice that wasn't cooked all the way through, so the grains weren't even tender
The only thing in my delivery order that was even partially decent were the mixed vegetables with shrimp, and there wasn't anything special about it. Also, no MSG, which is nice. Their online ordering system for delivery works fine as well, which is more than I can say for Spring Rolls (my usual go-to for food delivery).
This meal was sorely disappointing not only because the food was so terrible, but also because I've had the flu this week and really needed some trashy-yet-satisfying ABC food to soothe my sniffly soul. The food at HLC is just trashy.
