CNF: Food Review


Food Review
It was October 25,2011 when I first ate this meal. This meal consisted of  mild orange chicken,  tasty chow mien, and  steamy white rice. My mom had been the “cook” of this delicous meal. But, I wouldn’t call it cooking because it came out of the frozen food section at Grocery Outlet. All she really had to do was put it in a hot pan with some vegetable oil and let it cook while stirring every few minutes.

Even though this was not a “homemade” meal it still made my taste buds light up. The chow mien was the first thing that I decided to eat. This was very colorful, it had many veggies including red peppers, carrots, snap peas, and just a bit of broccoli. The snap peas were a very nice compliment to the soft chow mien noodles. I think this could have had a little more flavor and spice added to it to make ita bit more scrumptious.
The second entrée that I ate was the white rice. As always it was very bland and didn’t have much t5aste. But, to my convenience there was soy sauce sitting all the table. So I grabbed the bottle and added a few drops to the white rice which had then turned brown. After I had added it I mixed it up a little and took a bite, the turn out was great and had lots of flavor.

The last thing I ate was the orange chicken. I chose to eat this last cause you know what they say, ”save the best for last”, as I thought it would be. But, as I began to eat the chicken my taste buds went to sleep. This chicken did not have as much flavor as I thought it would have. So I was very disappointed with that aspect of this meal. I think the “cook” could have just a little bit more salt and more of the orange flavoring to the chicken. But, one thing I did like about the chicken was the breading, it was crunchy but soft enough to eat it, it was just right.

I am glad to say the service at this place was great. The “cook” sat right next to me and ate the same meal. Every now and then she would turn and ask me, “how’s the “food?”. Also the seating was great I had a flat screen TV with a variety of shows to choose from. The table also was able to extend to where you want it so your food was accessible. The seats were very comfy, it was a couch with floral print on it and fluffy cushions to compliment the pillows for armrests. All in all the food could use some improvement in the flavor, but the service was great and I look forward to coming back to 4528 Darcy court to have another great meal served by my one of a kind mother.

  1. I love how in the first paragraph you use a little humor in saying it wasn't a home cooked meal, I giggled at the attitude. One suggestion I have is to expand more on the taste in the second paragraph and describe the taste more, not just what was in the meal. Thank you for sharing <3

  2. This was a great piece of writing with a little bit of humor. I have only one suggestion, talk about that taste more in the 2nd paragraph. With a little bit more of a description this piece could be amazing.
