After my kickboxing incident (let's just say my lovely eyes now cross on their own), i decided to help myself to some chinese food ... As I was waiting for my order, I noticed a cute spunky looking gal with arms of Linda Hamilton a la Terminator, sitting by herself at a large table for 10. She nervously tapped her finger. She winced as everytime the door opened, it proved not to be her friends. I was distracted and was not able to focus my now one eye on the waiter... He was so impatient as he dropped the food and decided to clang with chopsticks in the air, shouting ai yah, ova heer la ova heer. That got my attnetion and i was able to get my food. But I could not leave!!! I mean, this poor adorable girl was on the verge of tears, looking shamingly at the 10 glasses of water that she had kindly ordered for her so-called friends. She finally noticed the clamour and evil glimpses caste upon her lovely face as she continued to take up the biggest table whilst little chimera's line up at the door. As I fought my ways through the sea of grandmas, I did some spinning back kicks and ax kicks to scatter those in my path I kept my eye on the vision of loveliness. She finally proceeded to call her friends adn I heard the WHOLE THING! apparently some misunderstanding occured and her friends weren't coming ... I guess they didn't EVEN OFFER to come... I nearly threw up but my one eye prevented me from aiming correctly so I held back. This happened to me once. My well-meaning but directionally misguided friends invited me to Queens. Well, I hauled over only to find that they were no longer there!!! In a good-hearted attempt to meet me, the adorable man and his equally funny friend had taken the train the wrong way! But it touched my soul that they offered to come back! Ai Yah - friends indeed.

so i would highly recommend the spicy beef tripe with noodles, which I would describe as delectably roborant. my friend mimi stands by the sea cucumber with roe dish. yes readers, this is the same mimi who recommended the shrimp with mayo and fruit cocktail nested in a taro basket from that new haute chinoise restaurant, amazing 66. dear mimi decided to organize a dinner to celebrate the arrival of summer 2007, which i greatly appreciated but unfortunately was not able to attend due to prior commitments in the hamptons with the millies. this is when the drama and trauma spiralled out of control. a feisty fifi (not her real name to protect her identity), who was probably suffering from post boxing concussion, decided to send out a prank email that she was not able to attend, or "wash hair" as we say in our chinese dialect. fifi claimed that she had to “wash hair” as our friend, nuoc nam du du was busy modeling this avant garde couture line called “friends of farmers” with her husband, chimera. so out of anger, mimi decided to abandon dinner plans altogether and curled up in a fetal position in her world of bears. fifi unfortunately showed up at shanghai yeah by herself. when she learned that dinner was cancelled without notice, she started to fume… the girls really let it out today - which i have to say i am proud of as it defies the typical passive aggressive stereotype like our ex-communicated friend patami. the vitriolic divas resorted to a combative series of acrimonious emails: olive branches (symbolic of peace offerings) were snapped into two, treadmill and fashion faux pas insults exchanged, imprecations hurled… finally, I offered the peaceful resolution of espousing the leitmotif “take it all off”. this applies to everything, i personally discovered. anger fled. we hugged and reminisced on the silliness. stay tuned for the review on amazing 66, please ask for miss chan, she has the best recommendations especially for fusion-esque dishes...

Pros: beef noodles oishi

Cons: dirtiness
