Chinatown Mall Food Court

This food court is by no means anything new to the scene, but it has been a great little food court over the years for very cheap and tasty vittles. It's never been the prettiest food court but they have recently gave it a face lift with new flooring and decor, even the shitter has been updated a bit. There's really only 3 places that I order from.. Usually starts at China Kitchen and moves to the right. The two places on the left side is usually frequented by Mexicans... I laugh at how they love that Americanized Chino slop just like how they laugh at the round eye gringos with their love affair for Americanized Mexican't slop. Crackers love really shitty Mexican't grub, it's uncanny. I'm enamored with Popeyes, so go figure... It's a vicious cycle. But who cares about that shit, the pouch is empty and needs chow now..

Scallion Pancakes. A childhood favorite back then and still a favorite now.

Soup Dumps. These are always consistent here... The skin is a little thicker but the soup and meat ratio is just right. Comes out piping hot.

Beef Chowfun. Consistency is the key with this dish and this visit was pretty good. Right amount of beef and noodles, not too greasy.

Spicy Fish and Tofu. This was the mild version because I had some whities with me for their first visit. They gobbled this dericious shit up... Next time going with their hottest version without tofu. I love this dish, the fish is just so tender and supple.

String Beans with Pork. Gotta get a veggie dish if you want good feng shui and to stay regular. A good pooping does a body good.

General Tso's Cheekan. For shits and giggles, we had to get a familiar dish for our honored guests. They initially wanted either the Dragon and Phoenix or Happy Family but settled for this traditional and authentic dish at the end of the day. Hey, y'all have the Colonel, we have the General... We out rank you, bitches. Ok, I must admit this was pretty damn tasty, it does not consist of that cloying nuclear orange/red HFCS sauce. This was a nice lightly sweet brown sauce that coated each piece thinly and retained all the crunch to the crispy batter. The only thing missing was the spicy red peppers. But besides that, I would totally consider re-ordering this again. This is such a great hangover dish.

I don't even know how many different dishes I have had here over the years but there was never a really bad dish that stood out or made me shit my pants instantly (even with the bathroom facelift, I would still advise against doing #2 in there). If you know what to order or bring a member of the tribe with you to assist, you really can't go wrong with the grub unless you're ordering from Top One Gourmet. I still can't believe that joke of a dish, General Tso's cheekan, was half way decent... I know y'all want to know where it was from... China Kitchen.

Do you shop at the Dekalb Farmers Market in Decatur? Their little "cafeteria" has the best fried chicken in the A.
