Wah Wong's Express - Right to your tummy!


Crab Rangoon
Another month, another late post. We wanted to try some Chinese food this time around. We have two places in Imlay City, Wah Wong's and The China Buffet. Originally we were going to go to the Buffet, but we changed our minds.

Susie was missing this month. Her boys were sick and she had to stay home to take care of them. We did have some extra special visitors this month. Lucas and Chloie. Lucas is my youngest and Chloie is Marti's boyfriend's daughter. They were adorable together.

Place: Wah Wong's Express
Location: Imlay City, Michigan

Chicken Nuggets and French Fries (for the kids)
We arrived right at opening for lunch. We almost missed it all together. Jeri had some serious car trouble on the way there. She got a flat, her battery died, and she had to be towed because the bolts on her spare had become welded or stripped or something. But no worries, a quick tow and 4 new tires later, we were all set. 

We did remember to take photos of our food, but not us. Go figure. Though, our concentration might've been broken because of rude people. If you go somewhere for lunch and proceed to have a loud, obnoxious, disgusting conversation with someone on your cell phone, we're gonna judge you. Hard. Not to mention, hate you.(Seriously, talking about a poo covered patient? Not cool, lady. Not cool)

Highlights

Sesame Chicken
Hot Tea and Starters - Mom ordered some hot tea with her lunch. We love a good hot tea. Especially on a chilly day. And how can you go wrong with some Egg Drop or Wonton Soup? You really can't. Especially when the wonton's are so nice and crispy.

Place Mats - Shut up. It was awesome. They were just the usual ones they have at a Chinese restaurant. The zociac ones. But the great thing was that Jeri kept trying to get Mom to call the Rooster a "Cock". Here we were, a group of women repeatedly saying "cock". And trying to get our Mother to do the same. It was great.

Fortune Cookies - Even if they were stale. We still loved the fortune cookies. "I like sunshine and fresh air" - Mom, "You constantly struggle for self improvement" - Jeri, "You could prosper in the field of medical research." - Terra, "You will be happy in receipt of good news." - Marti. Aren't those great? And completely random?

Food Quality
Mom - Almond Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken; 5; Very good! Great portions too. More than enough to take home!
Jeri - Cashew Chicken; 3; I've never ordered Cashew Chicken before. And I won't ever again. The Crab Ragoon was really good though. Hot and super delicious.
Terra - Sesame Chicken; 5; The chicken was cooked great and the sauce was just what I was looking for. Some Sesame Chicken sauce tastes fake or plastic-y. And the Wonton soup was so tasty.
Marti - Sweet & Sour Chicken; 5

Almond and Sweet & Sour Chicken
Food Value
Mom - Worth it
Jeri - Not worth what was paid
Terra - Worth it; There was so much left over, I had lunch for 2 days.
Marti - Worth it.

Drinks (Out of 10)
No drinks this week. Though Marti did order a Mt. Dew. And it came in a can. That's 10 cents bitch. Don't laugh.

Overall
Mom - 5
Jeri - 2
Sweet & Sour Chicken
Terra - 4; I left off one point for one reason. The bathroom was very scary. Very. It's possible the ceiling mayfall on you. Be careful. And the decor could use an update, but the economy is bad, so maybe that's why it hasn't been changed since the early 70's.
Marti - 4

The food was amazing. Which is usually the case at these little hole in the walls. I'm sad we didn't take a group picture. We've got to start remembering. Maybe a checklist? LOL. Till next month!
