Grande de la China Wok

Yesterday Seth, Melinda, and I all went out for dinner. We went to a small Chinese restaurant called China Wok. It was actually more like a fast food place than a dine in restaurant. But still, it was good. The order cost a little less that thirty dollars, but like I said, it was good. I had never eaten Chinese food before. In fact just the other day, I had steak for the first time with Seth and Melinda. It was good. But yeah Chinese-


It was cool. The workers there (well, all but one) were Asian. Melinda was happy about that. She said its nicer to have Asian food cooked by Asian people. It makes sense. The inside of the building (apart from the big menu board) didn't look very Chinese. It was nice though. And on the radio, they were playing Country music! Don't get me wrong, I love Country, it's just...I expected something more, I don't know...Chinese.

Melinda and I both order Sweet and Sour chicken, which also came with rice, and then we ordered two egg rolls. Seth ordered Szechuan Chicken with Crab Rangoon. We also ordered a hot/sour soup that was actually really good. I think I like that the best. It really works up the allergies though, I was blowing my nose like crazy!


We ordered water instead of soda, which at the time my tastes were more for Lemonade, but after eating that spicy food, I was very grateful for water. I must have filled my glass at least four times! But it was good.

The food was served in small white Tupperware boxes so that if we didn't finish we could just ask for a lid and take it home. It was really nice. Melinda was excited to have new Tupperware for future purposes and Seth was excited to have lunch for tomorrow. I was excited at having tried something new. It was a lot better than I expected it to be. The chicken was really good.

For some reason, my stomach was really small that evening. I usually eat a lot, but last night I hardly made a dent in my plate. I felt kinda' bad because I told them I like Chinese and here I am, in front of a full plate. They were probably thinking "Yeah, right!" But honestly, it was good.


When dinner was over, or, when we were full, we put lids on our Tupperware boxes and bagged our food for the ride home. We were also given fortune cookies, of that I was very grateful. I love fortune cookies! (They're kinda' like Dove Chocolate. Not only are they really good, but they have these little messages inside them) Mine said "Today will be lucky and memorable for you." And I picked one up off the floor just before we got our food and that one said "Your efforts are budding- results will appear soon." I can't decide which one I like better, though I think I prefer the latter one.

But yeah, Chinese. I like it. I just hope that one day you too can be as cultured as I am.
