A couple of things ...
First, I must tell you about a book… The Last Chinese Chef.
I believe reading it will make you happy and hungry, to the point of getting up, grabbing your best friend and going out for Chinese! I loved this story, for the recipes and the history and characters; they are all are compelling. The Last Chinese Chef reinforces my feelings about eating... “Great food should never be taken alone”.
Second, when choosing your Chinese dining location, you will love our hole in the wall mysterious restaurant Spicy City on Convoy. This place is tiny and you will most likely need to wait on the sidewalk. No one speaks much English.... WE LOVE IT. 
When you go, get the cold noodles, the incredible spicy shrimp (loaded with dozens of fried hot chili) and the chef’s green beans…. and then get something totally new. Keep your eyes on the waiters; you will see hot pots and wonderful noodle dishes come flying out from the kitchen. This place is very friendly, (both the owners and diners)... sometimes we share bites with neighboring tables and it becomes unexpectedly communal. Now, to be realistic, some dishes are a bit strange, yet we come back monthly to push our palates...
So, read the book and go out and try something new, and take a friend.
