| - My job dispatched me to our North Hills satellite office for the day. The thing that I hate about this area is it's so car-dependant here. You have to drive to places two minutes away! On the other hand, if you're looking for a decent lunch, there are all sorts of good places around here.
I'm a big fan of Chinese food and fortunately one of my favorite places in the 'Burgh, Sesame Inn, has a place nearby. They have an extensive list of "Chef's Specials" for lunch, so if you like good Chinese, you're bound to find something you'll like. My tastes run to the basics, so I ordered the Lemon Chicken. The crispy breading on the chicken wasn't overdone (I.e. I could still taste the chicken) and the meat itself was tender.
The lunch specials include your choice of eggroll, hot-n-sour soup, or eggdrop soup. Now I love my eggrolls and the hot-n-sour soup was mighty tempting. But it'd been awhile since I'd tried the eggdrop soup and believe me, it really hit the spot. You also get your choice of steamed, fried, or brown rice. I'm not a fan of fried rice, so yeah I opted for steamed.
Sesame Inn succeeds at the basics, so if you're in the mood for great, no-surprises Chinese food, then stop in.
