A goal is a dream...

Bizarre Fortune

Once again, you can't make this up. Obviously we ordered Chinese take out today. These are our real fortunes. If you know what they mean, feel free to tell me...

The Big Wong

File this under, "You can't make this up."

My cousin was in from San Diego, and my family met hers in (NY) Chinatown for lunch. With her usual chutzpah, she was asking Chinese folks walking down the street (in Chinatown) which was the best restaurant out of the million or so that are there. Several people said "Big Wong, " which just happened to be next door to the junk shop she was buying trinkets for her kids in...

"Let's go to "Big Wong."
"Get outta here!"





I wanted Vietnamese food, but I was out-numbered. Anyway, I'm always up for lunch in a grungy Chinatown shop with the duck-victims hanging in the window. We had a large group, and between us we ordered 1/2 a duck, hot and sour soup, seafood noodle soup, wanton & roast pork noodle soup, young-chow fried rice, vegetable low mein, squid with black bean sauce on rice, and sesame chicken. There wasn't anything on the table less than excellent, and dirt cheap. No fortune cookies or crispy noodles with duck sauce for the quailow.

FYI, the large red Chinese characters translate to "Big King Rice Shop." Although the business card says "Big Wong King," the store sign just says, "Big Wong." You betcha.
