The Most Recent Meal

The most recent meal I had with my friends was China Jade in Denver. We ate school four days in Hamburg’s and orange chicken (Actually, I had never heard of orange chicken before I came to America); thus, I suggested my friends to have a Chinese cuisine together at Thursday night. We used to come to China Jade twice a week last year. The restaurant has just completed decoration and has added a lot of new dishes. China Jade is mainly engaged in Sichuan cuisine, a southwestern part of China, which is famous for spicy flavor. We ate Kung Pao Chicken, boiled fish, fried potato, fried mutton slices with scallions, and lamb kebabs. Kung Pao chicken is a representative of Sichuan cuisine and it is one of my favorite dishes, but I was disappointed because the chef did not cook well. In addition, I highly recommend the boiled fish and fried mutton slices with scallions in China Jade. If you like spicy food, they are definitely your fist choices in Chinese cuisine. It was really surprised when my friend Tian ordered lamb kebabs in China Jade because it was the first time I ate lamb kebab in America.  Lamb kebab is characteristic of Chinese Western food and I can eat nearly everywhere in Beijing’s streets. However, many supermarkets in Denver do not sell mutton and we cannot cook by ourselves. Denver is not like other cities; such as New York and San Francisco have a China Town. Despite the expensive for a Chinese restaurant, enjoying a hometown cuisine is the most looking forward things to me. It is the beginning of a new quarter and after 10 weeks I will go back home. In my mind, hometown dishes can alleviate homesickness.
