Okay, it’s my own fault for thinking that delivery Chinese is going to be anything but gross, but, it was kinda gross. Pat ordered kung pao chicken with pork fried rice and wonton soup, and I ordered steamed chicken dumplings and went out on a limb with the spicy pork noodle soup. I figured that if they were taking the time to try to put something besides sweet and sour chicken and beef with broccoli on the menu, maybe it would be secretly delicious. Actually, I think they just popped on down to Wegmans on the way to our house, bought the nearest giant ramen noodle bowl they could find, nuked it, and then poured a spare bottle of pork-fat-oil over the top.
Also, not to be nit-picky, but their
website is weird and terrible, which just made the whole ordering experience a little sketchy. And I'm not even sure if you can get to the menu online through their website anymore.
Anyway, back to the food. By the time the delivery got to us the broth of my soup had spilled entirely in the bag, so what I had was a big bowl of oily noodles with hamburger meat (I hope?) stirred in. There were two limp greens floating on top, but like the rest of the bowl, all I could taste was salt and oil. Honestly, they could have put a human thumb in there and it would have tasted like salt dipped in oil, garnished with salt.
Tragically, I'm going to have to cut this rant short, after finishing this dinner I started having chest pains and and my arm feels kind of numb. Next up: a hospital food review?
