I ordered some chicken thing that was cooked in some Chinese style that I can not even come close to pronouncing.

When it arrived at my table it was on a giant plate and was a huge mound of chopped red dry Asian peppers mixed with a little sautéed green onion, a small amount of "chicken" that was cut complete with little bones and some seasoning that looked like little hand grenade shaped seed pods that tasted a little like licorice. The meat was pan fried without batter.

It had a hot, tingly flavor on my tongue and made my mouth and face numb.

So, I can only conclude that my special "chicken" dish was actually peppers, peppers and more peppers with some narcotic marinated rodent all prepared by a chef that probably did not like westerners.

But ... it was good.

Really it was good.

Now I will be slightly high and numb for the rest of the day.

I just hope I don't get called for a random drug screen this afternoon. I might not pass.

Best regards,
