Chinese food

[redbird]

I am thoroughly tired of carrot soup (and it's good soup), so for dinner tonight, we ordered takeout from the nearby Chinese restaurant, Number One Taste on Trapelo Road.

We've ordered from them before, but I was pleasantly surprised by tonight's dinner.

The chicken wonton soup was more interesting, and tastier, than I expected: it had broth, wontons, a few pieces of chicken, and a variety of barely cooked vegetables, including snow peas. Right now, I was hoping for a higher broth:stuff ratio, but I will order this again. The wontons were cooked just enough to be suitable for my still-recovering throat; the steamed dumplings weren't, but that just meant cattitude ate all the dumplings, and I had soup and tofu.)

This is a hole-in-the-wall takeout place. We called in the order, and they said "twenty minutes." Having prepared the rest of the order, the chef put the tofu in the wok when Cattitude walked in and said he was there to pick it up.

Nice! There is an excellent Islamic Chinese restaurant in San Jose where I used to lunch regularly with a friend. Thursday we had our first meal there since 2019. The food was even better than I remembered.

Sounds delicious!

I love the story of the chef's putting the tofu into the wok only when the customer came to collect the order. That is just great.

Also very glad you are continuing to be able to eat solid food. This sounds like a very wearisome virus -- I just got caught up with DW -- and I hope it will let go of you soon.

That place sounds like a keeper!
