Ching Chong in the Bing Bong



So I went to a highly rated Chinese restaurant today with my dad, mom, and one of his friends that owns a couple of IHOPs. This is in all senses my favorite restaurant in the world but it's really expensive, the cheapest dish is 15 bucks and most dishes are around 20 to 25 but it's really good. My favorite thing there was always the Peking Duck, the dish that the restaurant is named for and probably their most expensive one also, and then I liked their pickled cabbage which I'd eat with their equally great garlic sauce. Now from the sound of it garlic sauce should be something offputtingly bitter but it's actually quite sweet and buttery. Today I was being spoiled by the waiter though, most of them recognize us because we normally eat there about once a month, he decided to give me soda and, even though I said it as a joke, he gave me a soup container full of garlic sauce. It honestly surprised me because he knew it was a joke but he still gave it to me. The only problem is garlic sauce goes bad in about a week and I don't know all that I'm going to be able to use it for besides bread, which I don't have any fresh bread to eat it with. I'd normally eat it with rice but oh, there's no rice either. Well there's fried rice but it's better with white rice. I can always use it for what it's meant to be used for and eat it with toaster mini egg rolls but those things are starting to get me sick. Last time I had them it was fresh from my George Foreman grill which has become hard to clean so there was a good amount of accumulated grease on it. The egg rolls are irresistible though so even though I didn't want to eat a lot so as not to get sick I couldn't help but eat a whole bunch of them. Oh well, if you're ever to go to Northern Virginia and have a fat wad you want to spend be sure to go farther up North to Peking Duck, you won't regret it. The walls are plastered with photos of dignitaries and celebrities that have gone there. There's quite a few pictures of George Bush and I know for a fact there's one of John Travolta.
