Chicken w. Mixed Vegetable

Rating:  5.5(Bearable-Mediocre)

Fortune of the day- Life is a series of choices. Today yours are good ones.

Chicken with Mixed Vegetables, the traditional Chinese cuisine, at least the American interpretation that is. This plate had a harvest of vegetables. The carrots, broccoli, and onions would have sufficed in their attempts to overload a vegetable lover’s enthusiasm. Instead, they decided to turn a vegan straight by throwing in baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and red and green bell peppers. Some people might enjoy the plethora of foliage in a meal, but when it hinders the flavor of what people love the most (protein), then it becomes a little cumbersome. What little chicken existed tasted quite alright. It was stir fried along with the veggies making it slightly crispier than previous meals. The sauce had a quirky vibe to it; being salty and sweet at the same time. This could work if one component was sweet while another was salty but since it was mixed together, it threw my taste buds into a stupor, not knowing what to think. As it was stated, the only beef with that chicken, besides the abundance of vegetables, was that it was too sweet to be that salty giving it a total rating of Bearable to Mediocre.
