| - I ordered one of China Chili's more pedestrian lunch specials: The House Special Chicken. It tasted...well, pedestrian. Don't get me wrong, It was not nasty at all.
I suppose compared to Pillow Chicken, this dish seems like its from a different restaurant altogether. Perhaps I should have cut my teeth on something a little less flamboyant than the Pillow Chicken when I first went here, because each dish I've tried after that has left me disappointed.
However, keep in mind that I've been ordering off of the lunch special menu lately, and those dishes are usually a little less spectacular on anyone's menu. But I guess that's no excuse, as anything you serve to your customers should be prepared to the utmost.
Anyway, today's dish, House Special Chicken... Its described as battered chicken in a spicy garlic sauce. Its battered and spicy, but not very garlicy. Still its decent. A good taste, just not a very eventful taste. Of note is how tender and delicious the chicken was. I felt like taking it and putting in a sandwich.
Again, the soup of the day was the one that I cannot eat. Don't know what this stuff is...but I guess somebody on this planet must like it.
Oh well, I can either hold this place in high regards related to the lone dinner entree I've tried and downgrade it for the few lackluster dishes I've had afterwards...or I can give them a break since most 'lunch combos' are only good enough to fill stomachs at the office and not to wow the tastebuds.
Meh. The stars remain. I keep going back...so I guess its accurate to state that: Yay, I am a fan indeed.
