Chinese food on rue de la mairie

My day was mostly full of boring food stuff until I returned home to a hungry boyfriend craving chinese food. I'd been longing to eat at one of the local Chinese places for a while now, so we decided to go and have a early dinner.

We scouted out many restaurants and ultimately just chose one that looked good and had a decent price menu (3 courses for 7,50). We sat down, began figuring out our menu, and began.

It was truly a feast -- the food just kept coming. For 60 cents you can get these ENORMOUS pork buns (I can't even describe to you how big they are) so of course we each had to try one. Then after that came our appetizers. Jay got a shrimp springroll which was garnished with beautiful mint. I went for the chicken egg rolls which were perfect. For entrées, Jay got a chicken and black mushrooms dish while I went for chicken in curry. By the time we finished that, we were already exploading and unbuttoning our jeans, but then came in the desert: chinese nugat. It was actually really good -- the consistancy was like a caramel chew with peanuts inside, but it had the nugat flavor. Very tasty.

Lessons learned: We could probably get 2 buns each and be full. or just go for a simple entrée. Still it's nice to know there's a place that will stuff us to the brim for under 8 EUR a piece.

Total damages today:
1 apple, 1 coissant, 1 apple pastry: 1,90 EUR
dinner: 8,20 EUR
