Asian Food Craving

After hearing my hostel mates dinner last night at a Thai restaurant, with comments that it was pretty good, I had an Asian food craving.  Was considering heading to the same restaurant, but as it was getting late and I was too tired to walk any further, I decided to settle for something quick around the area.

The only Asian food I could find was a Chinese restaurant (Long2 Feng4 aka Dragon Phoenix), and I had always been a little hesitant eating Chinese food outside of Asia, as the quality aren’t always the best.  However this place had a small and really Chinese type of outlook and decor in it.  Plus there were quite a few people inside eating.

So I decided to take a risk and give it a try.  Looking at the interior decoration, I would have thought that it would have to be run by a Chinese, but turns out that the cook was a Bolivian!

The menu was of course in Spanish, and I picked out what I thought to be stir fry tofu with chicken. 

Alphabet soup in a Chinese restaurant???Shortly after my order was placed, I was given a bowl of soup.  What I found hilarious was it was alphabet soup, in a Chinese restaurant?!?  It tasted ok, but didn’t finish it.

After about a 20 mins wait, my meal finally came.  I think I had a special treatment, as the other people usually had their dish served with plain rice on the same plate. 

My tofu with chicken was served on a plate, and I was given a separate serving of fried rice!

Taste wise, it wasn’t too bad actually, though I can’t really make out what the actual dish is in actual Chinese cuisine.  Nevertheless I finished most of it and headed back to hostel.

  2. Ok Mr Foodie! Unfortunately haven't seen any similar around yet, and seems like all the Chinese places I see around the area are all by local chef!
