Meal 34

Szechuan Beef

 Rating: 9(The Cat’s Meow)

Fortune of the day- Investigate new possibilities with friends. Now is the time!

Let me start off by saying this meal had amazing proportions. It had enough beef and was not overrun by vegetables! The Szechuan Beef, which is a style of cooking that originated in the Sichuan Province of China, was fairly bold in flavor. Its use of red pepper flakes provided a charming contradiction to the sweetness of the dish. Only having onions, broccoli, bamboo shoots, and carrots, I was even lenient on the water chestnuts. The meal was bold, testing the limited limits of the American palate. This expression of brassiness earned the Szechuan Beef the Cat’s Meow of Dragon City.

Mon Go Chicken

Rating: 6.5(Mediocre-Succulent)

Fortune of the day- We must always have old memories and young hopes.

As before, Mon Go Chicken is practically identical to the Mon Go Beef. I find it rather difficult to find anything interesting or original about the dish. It has chicken instead beef…that is about it. It had the same vegetables; baby corn, water chestnuts, carrots, onions, green bell peppers, bamboo shoots, and peas. The onions needed to be cooked a little longer and if broccoli would have taken the place of, let us say water chestnuts, then it might have made the meal more appetizing. The best word I can think of for the Mon Go Chicken is dido. I have had to say the same thing twice, therefore only granting this meal a 6.5.
