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.

Meal 32

Sesame Chicken

Rating: 8.5(Ballzy-The Cat’s Meow)

Fortune of the day- Something on 4 wheels will soon be a fun investment for you!

We had a guest come along with us on this outing to Dragon city and I promised him that he could write the review for his meal.

Favorable Quote: "It seems like the only reason it has the name it does is because of the unevenly spread sesame seeds over a total of two pieces of chicken"

The sauce it was in had a molasses-like texture with a well proportioned tart taste to it. As some may say, "General Tso's w/o the Red Pepper." Chicken pieces were rather large and a tad overcooked, but still a great meal. Also, the dish having only one other dish that consisted of the same taste variation was refreshing compared to most other dishes of Modern Chinese Culinary. It possessed a peculiarity about it that, for lack of a better word, indefinitely separated it from the rest of the menu. The above decent taste and nonconformity of the dish earned this meal a thorough 8.5.

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.
