Post II - China Cafe

OK....second attempt.

First attempt went away when I accidentally rebooted and lost everything.  Fie on that.

Anyhow.

I didn't feel like eating ramen (and didn't have any seafood ramen with me anyhow- Lent, y'know), so I asked around the office and we ordered from China Cafe- a Venn diagram of awesome.  Decent price, good food and they deliver.

Today I ordered my usual, the Malaysian fried rice.  This is a fairly tasty, though uncommon concoction of rice, shrimp and pineapple.  A little bit spicy, most of the heat is as an aftertaste...not hot at first, but a heat that stays with you.  Almost cinnamon in nature.  Maybe?

I ordered mine extra spicy, as is my wont, and it arrived earlier than expected (this is an issue with China Cafe- I was told 45 minutes, which was perfect- that would get it there at 1230, in time for lunch for everyone who ordered.  Instead it arrived at about 1210...Way too early for most of the folks eating.  Keep this in mind if you order from there) and without the extra mustard and soy sauce which was ordered.

Free advice for anyone with a restaurant of the Chinese Delivery Nature...if you have three orders including rice, 4 packets of soy sauce should be standard.  If you have an order for "extra", double it to 8.  If someone goes to the trouble of ordering mustard, send along more than one, huh?  (A further note on mustard and Chinese food in a moment.)

Anyhow.

The rice was good, albeit a little dry (this would have been helped by the soy and mustard, had there been enough.) and made a good lunch.

I saved a half-portion and ate it for dinner....held up OK for being refrigerated for 6 hours.  Normally rice does horrifying things after even 3 hours, so this was impressive.

All in all, it was a good meal.  Please note that I have never been in the actual restaurant, so it might be some hellish place that would scare you away from ever eating there (one of the items on the menu?  Griddle cooked intestines with pepper.  If you eat there and there is a pile of intestines staring at you, waiting to be cooked....don't blame me), but on the other hand it might be a charming little eatery.

Sorry for the long time between posts, tomorrow SHOULD be a report about my breakfast adventure...Seneca Knolls Diner, probably.  Maybe somewhere else.  Solvay Diner?  Who knows.
