Chinese food makes me ___.

In two days straight, I've gotten tagged along to eat to two dining places in Adelaide. First night was with 'traditional' Chinese then the next one would be appropriately described as a modern Italian cafe.



Well, this would have already been the main course-- Peking Duck. It's peking gaaawd!
I don't know why Chinese restaurants are noisy, crowded and tacky. Does it have to really be a little glimpse of China? Probably everywhere in the world and every level of 'elegance' seem to be the same. The big round tables, the wall ornaments and flashy chandeliers. There's too much going on! I beg Japan to please intervene with your cousin's flashiness. That's only my opinion though. 



 How much do you love noodles? ;)



 Honey Soy Chicken, very typical.
Finally, I can say Chinese restaurants comes at a really expensive price! They're not cheap! I get that petrol prices are increasing but they have to realise that they don't need to drench their food with it. Soggy is sometimes not very good, good thing they have steams and seafood to compensate all their faults. I forgive you now.
 I don't know how to rotate it, so just tilt your head. This is divine, btw.





The following night starter with a cookie from Coles. I would have sexual fantasies with their cookies, I've said enough.



Then this platter: Chicken Schnitzel with chips, garden and Diane sauce. Win! I love how this dish was meant to be oily but it wasn't at all! Even the chips were perfect, and this is the only place I can find this sauce. Never anywhere! (or maybe cause I never dine anywhere else? Well, they don't have Big Mac sauce here)
 

Caffe Primo's $10 deal!

Final verdict, I won't personally walk in a Chinese restaurant and try to have buddha's figure and wash plates. I would always prefer somewhere cheap and healthier. So I think I'm going with LFO's opinion here with their song Summer Girls-- Chinese food makes me sick. Not at all of it, I still am in the pursuit of the 'oil-less oriental menu'.
