Meal 33

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.

Meal 31

Mon Go Beef

 Rating: 6.5(Mediocre-Succulent)

Fortune of the day- An interesting musical opportunity is in your near future.

The Mon Go Beef was just another ordinary meal at Dragon City. The dish was lacking originality and complexity. It favored many of the other plates, consisting of the identical ingredients and occupying the same basic texture and taste. Fashioned out of the common vegetables found in Chinese dishes, there were carrots, baby corn, onions, green bell peppers, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. Strangely enough, there was no broccoli, which would have maxed out the foliage in this fare. The onions were not cooked thoroughly living a slightly bitter taste to them. They usually do a wonderful job cooking the food but finished this meal a little too soon. I recommend this meal to anyone who is too afraid to take chances because I guarantee this meal will not deviate from its 6.5 rating. 

Meal 28

Roast Pork in Garlic Sauce

Rating: 7.5(Succulent-Ballzy)

Fortune of the day- You will have a long, adventurous life.

Now with most of the information we have gathered, it is no longer a difficult task deciding what is in the meals at Dragon City. The Pork in Garlic Sauce, for anyone who has kept up, is the same as the Chicken with Garlic Sauce, minus the “Chicken” and the word “with” in the title. It had all the fixings such as water chestnuts, baby corn, broccoli, celery, cabbage, carrots, green peas, and bamboo shoots. I know it’s overwhelming but you can pick through them. The sauce was the same with a sweet and tangy spin, making for a decent meal. If you are more of a pork fan than you are a chicken or plain broccoli fan, then I highly suggest taking the succulent to ballzy route on this one.

Meal 23

Chicken w. Garlic Sauce

Rating: 7.5(Succulent-Ballzy)

Fortune of the day- Remember that time is money.

If you enjoyed the Broccoli with Garlic Sauce then chances are you are going to adore the Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Yes it has a slightly lower rating but that is only because of the unwanted vegetables like baby corn and water chestnuts. What really gave this meal its bang was the sauce, which was the same sweet and tangy, garlic induced phenomenon that enveloped the broccoli in the previous meal. The added celery, cabbage stocks, carrots, green bell peppers, and bamboo shoots made for a much needed variety. The chicken was nothing special, cooked like all the other chicken dishes only this one had garlic sauce obviously. A lot of these meals have an overwhelming amount of vegetables. If Dragon City would limit the quantity, yet keep the medley, then Chicken with Garlic Sauce would have earned a higher rating than 7.5. 

Meal 9

Beef w. Broccoli

Rating: 6.5(Mediocre-Succulent) 

Fortune of the day- You don’t get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.

Beef with Broccoli; where do I start? I guess I could start by suggesting to Dragon City that they place this as number seven on the lunch menu special allowing it be right below Chicken with Broccoli. These two meals were very similar with the exception of the beef. I hope we don’t stay on this trend of alikeness because it’s variety that we are in search for. Anyways, the meal was honest, tasting the same as meal 6. It too was prepared with broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots, leaving only the meat product with any originality. There seemed to be quite a bit more broccoli on this occasion but I don’t mind granted I can’t get enough of the "treelets". It was cooked perfectly as were the other meals this week. It doesn’t matter if it’s chicken or beef, I’ll suggest it to any customer looking for a relatively safe meal, tagging it a 6.5.

Meal 8

Chicken w. Pepper Onion

Rating: 7(Succulent) 

Fortune of the day: You will overcome many obstacles.

I could literally copy Meal 7’s description and paste it for the Chicken w. Pepper Onion, subbing in the chicken for the steak of course. The two meals were identical except for the farm animal they decided to throw in the wok. In the title they switched pepper with the meat product and produced the same dish. Don’t get me wrong, it was still quite pleasurable to consume, it’s just difficult to find something special in this dish that I have not already told you about in Meal 7. Just in case you missed Meal 7 (which you shouldn’t because it’s posted directly below this one) the dish was cooked with green bell peppers and onions. They too were prepared to perfection adding an important flavor to the meal. The soy sauce based sauce was once again salty but with the right quantity. Given that no factor put my taste buds into a Full Nelson yet it was effortlessly devoured, it gets the same as the previous meal, a decent 7.

Meal 7

Pepper Steak w. Onion

Rating: 7(Succulent)

Fortune of the Day- You have only begun to scratch the surface of your real potential.

Today’s meal was rather ordinary. The name literally says it all. Pepper Steak with Onion had green bell peppers, steak, and onions. It was cooked together in a soy sauce base. The sauce had agreeable ingredients making it slightly salty but who doesn't like salt?  The onions and peppers were sautéed to near perfection with a crunchy outer shell and a soft, semi raw interior. The casually cooked veggies brought a lot of flavor to the table. I would say the Pepper Steak with Onion is an American stereotype of Chinese chow but nonetheless was real enough for my fancy gaining a succulent 7 on the taste scale. 

Meal 6

Chicken w. Broccoli

Rating: 6.5(Mediocre-Succulent)

Fortune of the day- Rely on long time friends to give you advice with your present question.

As you may have guessed, Chicken with Broccoli was very similar to Chicken with Mixed Vegetables. The main difference between the two was the vegetables obviously. This dish was cooked the same, stir-fried with chicken, except there was more chicken and only broccoli, a few carrots, and a hardly any bamboo shoots. You might think it would have tasted the same yet paradoxically it did not. The only explanation we could come up with was maybe the absence of vegetables left room for our palates to expand on the flavors. No matter the reason, the dish was a delight and got a check in our book for a 6.5.  

Meal 1

Chicken Chow Mein              

Rating: 7.5(Succulent-Ballzy)

    

Fortune of the day- All the news you receive will be positive and uplifting.

 This dish took me by surprise. I thought it was going to be heavy, loaded with chicken and noodles. In fact it was light and simple. At first glance it looked like a wet mash of baby food. The texture reminded me of boiled okra. As it turned out it was delicious. The chicken was boiled along with the celery, onions, cabbage, and a certain spice giving it a delightful kick. The taste is very persistent as it seems to have permanently stained my palate. I will tolerate it, only because I enjoyed it so much. I’ll give the Chicken Chow Mein a solid 7.5 overall or as we would say succulent to ballzy!
