Chinese Food

You know that old joke that half an hour after finishing a Chinese meal you want another one? Well, last night we found the exception to the rule.

We hadn't gone to this Chinese before, even though it was local, as we already had a Chinese we knew and trusted. However, after a spectacular fail with boiling potatoes (yes, I can get boiling potatoes wrong!) a few days ago I had nipped out to get some chips and the Chinese were the nearest open. They did 'salt and pepper' chips with OH and darling father raved over. So last night, when I was on the floor with tiredness and couldn't face cooking, I said we would try them out.

Part of their advertising is that they have big portions. That is not false advertising, it is absolutely true. It is not padded either, but loads of really nice meat and veggies. I tried sesame chicken, and really enjoyed it, and OH had the same. Darling father is having the rest of his Special Curry for lunch.

Poor OH, he was enjoying the chicken so much he forgot to stop eating, and although he didn't actually finish his portion, poor lad was absolutely stuffed. He could barely move for the rest of the evening - He had stuck to mainly meat and he could barely move!

And for me, one of the best bits is the dinky plastic, resealable cartons that they come in - ideal for small plastic daleks and weeping angels, random pens and crayons and miscellaneous craft items.

I don't plan to have a lot of takeaways, we are having less and less of them, but I will certainly be going there again. Just perhaps one portion between two. With salt and pepper chips for OH and darling father, of course!
