That's great. Thanks for the info Holden.

This one is for you VHF. I could not resist stopping and taking the shot. This is located in the little burg called Tillicum, just south of Tacoma on I5.

I know you like a bargain, but this was a bit much.

Oh, brilliant, and in more ways than one!

In fact, substituting "wok" for "walk" makes for all kinds of good puns.

Dead man woking....

Wok this way...

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their wok...

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wok...

I'd start a wok restaurant but I already have plans for a make-it-yourself omelet restaurant. You walk along the assembly line, picking out ingredients along the way, then at the end you get the eggs base, and a whisk to beat the stuff together before dropping on the grill. Some say it might be a bit of a whisky business venture, but I'm going ahead with it.

You missed the fast and fresh part.

When can we expect your review of the joint?

After knowing of its existence for over twenty years, I finally tried East Garden Restaurant on Belmont, a block in from Hillside. We ordered takeaway, although I wish we had dined it - it seemed so surreal, with how they've managed to stay in business in a converted house for all these years.

The food itself wasn't bad, although maybe a bit pricey (what isn't nowadays, though).

Quoting myself and answering my own question LIKE A BOSS. East Garden Restaurant (business, bricks & land) is apparently for sale.

Yes it is for $1.1 million

The land and building is assessed at $1.03M so with a little negotiation .... ?

Mrs. Fugger and I were out running errands yesterday and decided to stop at Ho Tong's (Douglas @ Boleskine). Despite eating there earlier in the week and getting a grumbly tummy, I was excited to show Mrs. F a very tasty ginger beef. Let's just say that over the last 18 or so hours, General Tsao has been waging a helluva pyrrhic battle in my lower colon. This will be the last time I ass-piss out their fare.

Chicken on the run does a great ginger beef, you can kill two birds with one stone. Tri-pac with gravy and a ginger beef.

Of course the marble arch can't be beat for western style Cantonese fare, no funny business there. Chicken balls made from fresh chicken, battered and fried to order literally right in front of you? Yes please! No chicken loaf to be found here.

I am friendly with one of the commercial hood cleaning guys in town, want to know where to avoid? Ask them. They. See. Everything.

Habit-forming fare. But dreamy!

[Rob Randall]

Any updates on good Chinese food? I'd love to have some good old-fashioned chicken chow mein, like you used to be able to get, with bean sprouts not with the cheap crispy fried noodles you seem to get nowadays.

[Matt R.]

Marble Arch does great chow mein, and western style Chinese in general. Cash only.

Lots of soft chewy noodles and bean sprouts.

Matt.

^ You had to bring up the Marble Arch again didn’t you Matt.

Now I have to go there for lunch again tomorrow. #1 on my hit list is their egg foo yung chow mein.

Best on the planet IMO.

I've never been disappointed by Halibut House. Tasty, not greasy, ingredients seem high quality.
