Meal 18

Shrimp w. Chinese Vegetable

Rating: 4.5(Passable-Bearable)

Fortune of the day- Your hidden creative talents will soon be revealed.

Shrimp with Chinese Vegetables bore close resemblance to Meal 2, the Shrimp Chow Mein.  Like the Shrimp Chow Mein, this dish had an extremely gooey texture. The vegetables were too crisp to be boiled so I would say the sauce obtained its drippy caliber from some other means. Vegetables reigned over this meal once again with water chestnuts, celery, peas, carrots, cabbage, and bamboo shoots making up 95% of the grub. The shrimp was decadent but being covered in placenta made it slightly less attractive. It had a taste but the impact was not sufficient enough to be remembered therefore earning a 4.5 on the Jaxon Scale. 

Meal 17

Vegetable Delight

Rating: 4(Passable)

Fortune of the day- Don’t worry about money. The best things in life are free.

Baby corn, broccoli, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, green bell peppers, carrots, celery, cabbage, and peas; no I did not just list every vegetable known to man. Actually these were all the edible plants that infiltrated the Vegetable Delight. It was a huge plate of green, white, greenish, and a tad of orange foliage cooked in soy sauce. There was no mystery to the dish, the name says it all. A vegetarian would kill to have this meal. Everything was cooked correctly, the peppers were moist, broccoli was crisp, and water chestnuts were…well water chestnuts. The meal was not necessarily bad, it just didn’t surprise us with a ton of tang or even a crumb. Until the veggies grab a tantalizing taste we have to tag it as Passable.

Meal 16

Chicken w. Cashew Nuts

Rating: 4.5(Passable-Bearable)

Fortune of the day- Need some adventure and enjoyment? Take a vacation.

If you have read the previous post, then the contents of this one is pretty self explanatory. The chicken with Cashew Nuts was oddly similar to the Shrimp with Cashew Nuts. It beats all I’ve ever saw! Now if you have not been able read the earlier post or are just too lazy this dish contains a heaping amount of diced water chestnuts and celery. There is also baby corn and I think some cashews. The dish went as according to plan. The oodles of celery and water chestnuts made the dish more difficult to dispose of in a digestive sense. I am not a shrimp guy, but for this meal I believe it tasted better than the chicken. The chicken appeared to have been fried then set in the dish to soak up the juices making it extremely soggy. Not really appetizing for my taste buds. If you are a water chestnut, celery licking, soggy chicken kind of a person, this dish was meant for you. If not, I would steer clear of this 4.5, possibly going for a Chicken Lo Mein or Sweet and Sour Pork.
