1 review for Lotus Garden
Okay, I'm from Jersey. Land of big hair and strip malls.
And generally, I get nervous when I visit a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. Especially a restaurant where the patrons seemed to upset the yellow-white balance (although, granted, the Indian customers weren't quite white or yellow).
But man, I was impressed by the quality of the food.
I promised myself I would stop the gorging after this week of gluttony. Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting such a good meal. Especially, as I said, from a restaurant tucked away in a strip mall next to an Italian restaurant with cheesy Italian opera blaring away. But I guess with the Plainsboro population growing, they know their Chinese food.
The tastiness we ordered included:
- Stir-fried crab w/ egg
- Lotus root with squid
- Tofu with golden mushrooms
- Homestyle duck
I was busy licking my plate clean.
My only beef with the place was their rice was dry. Not sticky. Just dry. How do you mess up rice? Sad times.
But still, for central Jersey, I'll give it a five-star rating.
My taste buds are rejoicing, but my stomach is hating me. Actually, probably more like the scale is hating me right about now.
Thank goodness for my metabolism.
