Yeah, I know I'm late, but you know what they say.

You do know what they say, right?

I also like Duck, but with the fruit sauces.

Actually, according to Chinese myth, the year you were born in (IE the year of the Monkey), is extremely unlucky for you.

I hope you make it to the end of the year.

A local Asian restaurant had a Chinese New Year's festival that I had gone to on the 26th. The buffet had sushi (mostly California rolls), shrimp toast, teriyaki, and spring rolls (these things totally own egg rolls) for appetizers. Several dinners including General Tso's chicken and a seafood vegetable combination were also on the table.

The CNY show was a blast- a martial arts studio held kung-fu and weapons demos- and yes, the dragons came out. Damn cool if you ask me.

What's the big deal with General Tso's Chicken? Is it really that good?

In a word, yes. And Szechuan Hot and Sour Soup owns my soul.

Just make sure you get it spicy for the full "bam!". Don't order it mild.

Well, there's a Chinese place next to my work place, so I ordered some of General Tso's Chicken, and I admit I am impressed. It wasn't as good as Panda Express' Orange Chicken, but I'll definitely be ordering it again.
