Canton Chinese Restaurant

This chinese restaurant finds itself in what looks to be an old American diner from 50 years ago but now resides in the middle of Richardson's Chinese/Vietnamese district. It was a while back we ate there so remembering exactly what each of us had is a bit difficult. (Especially since Nik didn't take pictures.) However, it wasn't difficult to remember how delicious the food was. Nik had some kind of flat noodle dish that looked reminiscent of Pad Kee Mow but with a distinguishable chinese flare. David ate something completely unrememberable but I'm sure tofu was found in it somewhere. I had either spicy pork or spicy chicken. Either way it was white meat and fantastic. David and I ordered off the lunch menu which came with rice and an egg roll. I could barely eat all of mine. Nik ordered a larger dinner portion.

The hot and sour soup is some of the best I've ever had. I acknowledge that the food is "Americanized" but that can only means an improvement over most traditional chinese dishes. America has a tendency to almost always improve on imported cuisine.

Afterwards David and Nik wanted to visit a nearby "bubble tea" shop. I don't remember what they got but mine was a nightmare. I thought I'd be adventurous and try the plumb drink. How could I go wrong with that? Boy was I wrong...it tasted like a salty, hard plumb candy. I might as well have been sucking down salt water! Those crazy Taiwanese.
