That's most of them, minus the ones that need to be resized.

Back the truck up here comes Mr. Creosote.
Just don’t forget the after dinner mint.

The Hotel that I normally stay at in Tangxia has a cream of wild mushroom soup with troufle oil that tastes like morel mushrooms and is like crack, you just eat a bowel and want more. Have it on the room service menu. I would send a picture of it to be posted but it looks like calf scours in a bowl

Not a big fan of Asian pastries and deserts, but at least 2/3rds of the main dishes had me thinking ooh I wanna try that.

the stuff that looks the worst tastes the best, by the way the strudel looking stuff is actually a shrimp and crab cake

I don't eat Mexican food or Asian. Every time I take a chance on it I regret it.

I spend some time in the China Towns on the US and Canadian West Coast, and I pretty much have a rule that if there is English on the menu of a Chinese Restaurant, I'm not eating there unless I have to.
Genuine Chinese food is wonderful. I could founder on Dim Sum...... Overall, I think Vancouver has the edge on the best Chinese restaurants in North America.
Sometimes I think the customers invite me to visit just so they get to watch me eat....

If you can find a city with a dedicated China Town section, you'll get much more authentic food. An isolated "Chinese" place in oh, let's say Ogden, Utah? Not so much. I always say that the heritage of the transcontinental railroad in Utah is 10,000 bad Chinese restaurants. After 100 years, the descendants of those abandoned workers no longer have a clue about real Chinese cooking, but they have learned to make Utanese food. Bland, sweet, and copious are the recipe here. "Spicy" on the menu means it has the same effect as ketchup on your tongue. Genuine Szechuan or Thai food would cause a full-scale HazMat team response.
We used to have a little hole-in-wall joint Claudia and I called Cheapnese. You could get two huge bowls of excellent soup, very authentic, for under 12 bucks. Many dishes of both rice- and noodle-based origin. The entire staff spoke nothing but Chinese among themselves, and broken English to customers. A lot of ordering was point and nod. Every Chinese exchange student from the local U ate there. Naturally, they eventually went out of business because the locals wanted chop suey or sweet and sour chicken. We've tried a dozen other places since then and found nothing but chop suey...
Sad? Let me dim sum it up: The best Chinese food in Ogden is Panda Express.

They don't speak English very well, but they sure have our monetary system all figured out. On the plus side, we don't have a feral dog or cat problem since the Chinese restaurants moved in to town. The food is pretty good, whatever it may be.
