Or really, just the Chinese food adventures have continued. Today, I went with my uncle to the Noble House, a new Chinese and Thai hotel at 4th block. The wonton soup was okay, the pad thai and the vegetables in garlic sauce were fairly good, and the vegetable spring rolls were amazing.
I feel like I’ve eaten so much Indian Chinese food these past few weeks, I could be a professional food critic. (Time to switch out of the Fluid Dynamics classes into the Journalism classes?)
Anyway, Noble House was good. But I really enjoyed spending the evening with my Uncle. Getting the opportunity to live with my uncle and grandmother this summer has been amazing. I’ve learned so much about their likes and dislikes, their quirks and idiosyncrasies, and I’ve especially gotten to know my uncle.
He has the strangest sense of humor; he can eat for hours on end. He thinks he dances as well as Michael Jackson – he doesn’t – and he has very strong opinions about mango varieties. He’s perfectly happy just sitting there, doing absolutely nothing – unless it’s miserably hot. He’s watched just about every relatively good movie Hollywood has ever produced. And he knows where to get the best sandwiches, the best egg puffs, and the best Gobi Manchurian.
He also knows of enough Chinese hotels that we could probably eat out every single day for the last four weeks that I’m here.
Bring. It. On.
