We just had Chinese on Friday night, but after watching The Godfather, especially the scene just before Michael leaves to meet Sollozzo, I've been craving Lo Mein. Make some spaghetti and eat it with chopsticks.

With Chinese, I love fried won tons.
I love the fried Wontons in my soup. My favorite chinese appetizer is probably Dim Sum. I also love a Roast Pork bun. Not many local chinese restaruants make them. The best place to get them used to be chinatown. I used to go to chinatown quite a bit years ago, but these days you wouldn't catch me eating in chinatown. It's gotten really skeevy! Some of my favorite chinese dishes are Roast Pork in mushroom and oyster sauce, butterfly shrimps wrapped in bacon and sauteed onions, Filet Mignon steak kew, Moo Shu Pork and pan seared chicken in brown sauce. Come to think of it I like most chinese dishes. After all these years, my favorite is STILL the good old number 1, chicken chow mein combo.
It's not the fanciest, but I think it's one of the tastiest. But every once in a while, like you PB, I get the urge for just a traditional chinese dinner of either traditional Chicken Chow Mein or Egg Foo Young, spare ribs and an egg roll. PB, do you remember in the old fashioned Chinese restaurants, when you would order a combination, they would serve them in those portioned style dishes that had seperate areas for each kind of food? My mouth is begining to water now.

Hey SB, just trying to get a reference point for where Rest X is from the Mall, its about an hour from me, and maybe I can bring a date (so I am not the 3rd wheel) and meet up with you and your hubby at that place? It would be nice to see you guys again! I have to check it out so maybe we can do it one sunday??
As for dinner, I tried to remember/recreate a dish I haven't made since the previous century: Lobster in Pink Cream Cognac Sauce w/Risotto Cakes. I haven't bought any French products since 2001, but now that they have a new president who isnt even french but VERY much US friendly, I bought a bottle of cognac to make the dish, not the same, but i have a pic if anyone knows how to post it here.
As for Chinese food, its all good, the only thing I don't like is seafood fried rice -- they use "sea legs" and uncleaned mini "shrimps", other than that I probably like everything on any chinese menu lol. The best place I know of in Jersey is Mr. Chu's on Rt. 10 in East Hanover -- if it doesnt ring a bell, its across from the Novartis Pharmaceudical Building. Why should that ring a bell? Its where LSD was invented, thats your underworld trivia for today lol.

Linguine w/ White Clam sauce at the restaurant/diner next to the laundromat that ONLY senior citizens eat at (apparently). It wasn't too bad, actually -- and I felt like a young pup in there!
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations
