| - I'd never had Tibetan food, but I figured on hearty, stew-like dishes featuring chicken. I am a great guesser.
I had the ginger chicken with rice. Rice, chicken, and a thick orange sauce made for a hearty meal. Well-flavored, it wasn't as spicy as I would have guessed from ginger being the focus. The consistency and general flavors reminded me a bit of tikka masala, and like tikka masala, I'd be happy to eat the sauce spooned over rice any day of the week. The chicken was good, but kind of freaked me out - the pieces were all little one-inch balls. To my knowledge, there's no place on a chicken that naturally forms that way, and it wasn't a nugget - the balls were actual chunks of chicken. So confused.
One friend tried the chili chicken, and cleaned his plate. Another friend got the fried veggie patties appetizer (good), and rice soup (off-putting). Since you get your choice of veggie or chicken broth, she thought it would be a clear broth with some rice and maybe chopped up veggies. Nope. It came out looking like Cream of Wheat - or like really, really wet rice. It didn't taste like much, and was just too much of one thing.
Also, Madisonians, if you're not sure where this is, I'm fairly certain it used to be the Sony store.
