I had chinese food last night. It was pretty good. The fried pork dumplings were excellent, the hot and sour was better than the last time I went there. The Prawns in spicy garlic sauce were quite good, and I'm pretty particular about my garlic sauce. The General Tso's chicken was pretty good too, but I must admit that I'm a bit confused about it. This is a pretty upscale restaurant, as chinese restaurants go. It's near Rockefeller center, and it's a bit dear. I couldn't help but wonder when I was eating the general tso's about the chicken.
It was all white meat, and the flavor and texture was good, but it almost tasted like it had been cooked previous to being battered and fried. And the pieces were shaped a little like those in sweet and sour chicken which gives one pause. Normally, this suspicion of precooked chicken would not be a good sign. But I'm confused because the flavor was pretty good. It may be that I'm just trying to justify myself because I chose the restaurant. It's a Sichuan style place.
When I asked for extra red dried chiles on the side, they gave us not only the red dried chiles, but also these nice little red pickled chiles, which I had never seen before. He said he wasn't sure which ones I wanted... I said we'd keep them both.
I think it's a pretty good place.
