Plum Pudding

When you go out to eat what do you like to taste? Polish, Italian, German, Greek, and American or fast foods made in haste? I get into Chinese food from Canton Noodles to Szechuan Steak. Dim Sum, Spring Rolls, Sweet Sour Duck and more... Often, I won't even take a break. Everyone has their favorite Chinese place where the food is strange, but Oh So Good! We often find that singular dish that puts our taste buds in the mood. I know of just such a place... Where the food is served with care. The portions are so big as well, You'll only finish - If you dare. Those little white cartons that you take home are good for another meal or two. Or if you get the munchies in the middle of the night they are there, waiting for you. I won't tell you the name you see because "Each to their own" , they say. But, if you're 50 miles northwest of Chicago, You're going the right way. Just a little place in a small town... It's been around for 45 years. But the cuisine is diverse and tasty, Eating the chili peppers can always bring tears. Even if you can't get out here, I'm sure you've found one you like. Next time you order Moo Shoo Pork, Remember, to get to mine will be a hike. I know I didn't give the name, It's my little game you see... But, I gave you a hint in the title, If you figure it out...what a "Smartie" you will be.

Well, I never had plum pudding in a Chinese restaurant (enjoyed plum wine in a Japanese steak house), so I guess I'm a dummie, Daniel. However, you have made my tummy growl thinking of all the delicious fare at the local Chinese buffet. Very tasty write -- or should I say "in good taste"? Love, Carolyn
