TrinTalk

Reviews are something that I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. Food, movies, music, etc. are all up for review, and will hopefully be added on a pretty consistent basis.

Craving Chinese food a couple of nights ago, I decided to go back to a thread I had seen on TrinTalk at the begining of the month titled, “Best Chinese Delivery?” Eager to try a new Chinese delivery place, I chose Ting Ho instead of Peking Garden on the comment that they “used real chicken,” by one Guest.

Real chicken or not, Ting Ho was weak at best all around. The three of us ordered a few different dishes, vegie lo mein, chicken lo mein, pork fried rice, steamed dumplings, sesame chicken, and the customary white rice and egg roll. Finally, after almost an hour of waiting, the food came (still hot, props).

It just wasn’t that good, though. The lo mein was a molded chinese food container clump, you had to pry the noodles apart from one another. The semsame chicken was a weird brown instead of orange tint, and the pork in the pork fried rice kind of glimmered. Not the prettiest food we though, but we decided to trudge along and go for taste instead of presentation. Unfortunately Ting Ho didn’t really impress us there, either. The food tasted sort-of the way it looked, just a little off. Granted, each recipie can’t be the same, it just didn’t taste like your normal, run of the mill Chinese food, not as good.

While I’m not a food critic, I’m going to say that Ting Ho doesn’t get the seal of approval I was hoping to give out. A mediocre 2.5/5 stars.
