Golden Wok China Buffet  

Category: Chinese

5 star rating
 5/11/2009  
A friend recommended China Buffet for all the healthy Chinese food you can eat with a wide variety of ingredients, fresh vegetables, a large menu, and of course, all the seafood you want to include fresh shrimp, crablegs, fish, with other choices for beef, chicken, pork, the very best egg foo yung with vegetables, rice, steam dumplings, sushi, noodles, and more...Then you can still have all the dessert you can choose from fresh fruit to your favorite sweets, including ice cream sundaes and more...  For a lunch smorgasbord or a dinner buffet, the Golden Wok China Buffet in Villa Park is the best choice by recommendation.

Fresh edible arrangements are the best impressions, especially with delicious ornamental fruit on Mother's Day or for any occasion.  Edible Arrangements in Elmhurst is the very best choice for a special person whenever you need to order with personal service and delivery.  Fresh fruit and edible arrangements are the first choice for a special gift.

Sunmist offers a romantic spot to celebrate over special favorites in a delicious menu.  There are always fresh flowers on the table.  The salads are crispy green.  The menu has a wide selection of favorites, prepared with original ingredients.  We love the angus beef patty melt, the pork chops, and the fresh fish... There is always dessert and good company to return...  Early morning breakfasts are a favorite at Sunmist Restaurant & Cafe.

Anniversary at the Flat Top Grill: Earth Week, April 20-26, 2009
The Flat Top Grill celebrated my second anniversary early Spring, during the first week of April, in time for Earth Hour 2009 and before Earth Week, April 20-26, which makes the 40th anniversary of celebrating Earth Day, on April 22, 2009. Environmental concerns "add a little green" at the Flat Top Grill. Organic vegetables are still my favorite choice, topped with Vegan sauces and low calorie seasonings, ranging from zero "0" calorie, ginger water, to 128 calories, with horseradish tofu. There is more variety of fresh produce added at the Flat Top Gril, to create your own stir-fry. You can also try make your stir-fry in a fresh lettuce wrap! or Add a 10-piece of shrimp skewer to your bowl... And even the placemat is made from harvested eucalyptus plants and printed with flaxseed inks, for a sustainable, reversible Flat Top Grill Menu.

A friend recently celebrated his birthday at the Flat Top Grill when he joined the E-Mail list. He enjoyed a free, complimentary stir-fry in a bowl, a cup of coffee and a bowl of Triple Chocolate Storm Ice Cream at the Flat Top Grill in Yorktown, Lombard. When you join the Flat Top Grill E-mail list, you can also enjoy a free, complimentary stir-fry on your birthday, stay updated on the latest Flat Top news, and celebrate your anniversary date with a courtesy, create-your-own stir-fry in a bowl, while you earn special member offers.

The Flat Top Grill in Oak Park is a real treasure at 726 West Lake Street, one block from Scoville Park and the Oak Park Public Library.

    A Bowlful of Nutrition Vegetables, Fruit, Grains, with Protein-laden Antioxidants For Health, Exercise, and Fitness at the Flat Top Grill

        Daily requirements of walking exercise and fitness take up a lot of our energy everyday.  We have to compensate the loss by replenishing our nutrition with a balanced diet and a regular bowl full of vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts, with protein-laden antioxidants.  Humans consume antioxidants in the form of supplemental vitamins, minerals, and amino acids which protect human cells, like "atoms", with "extra" electrons, surrounding the cells.  The human cell is an atom consisting of two (2) paired electrons.  When toxins like air pollution, second-hand smoking, stress, sunlight, pesticides, chemicals, germs, bacteria, and virus-acquired disease, release "free" radicals into the human body, the same free radicals damage human cells and cellular growth.  The human cells that make up our body are composed of many atoms.  When toxins attack human cells, one of the electrons is destroyed.  A human cell missing an atom is called a "free" radical.  In numbers, these free radicals can alter or destroy human cells causing disease.  Damaged human cells cause or contribute to premature aging, sickness, diseases, and other terminal illnesses.  During Antioxidant Level Screening, Dr. George Michalopoulos, D.C. explains that humans age, get sick, and acquire diseases without the required nutritional antioxidants and supplementation from vitamins, amino acids, and minerals--using the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner™ S2, the World's First Non-Invasive Antioxidant Measuring Tool.  Vegetables, fruit, grains, and protein-laden with antioxidants protect human cell growth surrounding the atoms in the human body to give up free radicals, in order to eliminate the harmful effects of toxins and neutralize damage to cell growth, to reduce the human risk of disease, with healthy food, and wholesome nutrition.  A bowlful of stir-fried vegetables, fruit, grains, and protein cooked at the Flat Top Grill satisfies the daily nutritional balanced requirement for human exercise and fitness routines during walking, running, jogging, sports training, contact athletic activities, the Chicago Marathon races, and other competitive team sports.

        The Flat Top Grill at the Court Yard in Lombard welcomes everyone with a large bowl of nutrition full of vegetables, fruit, grains, and protein seasoned with your choice of sauces, accompanied by a fresh whole egg, and garnished with your favorite toppings--nuts, crispy noodles, sesame seeds, ginger, or additional spices to taste.  Here's your recipe for a large bowlful of wholesome nutrition for health, exercise, and fitness.

        You can make your own stir-fry by selecting white rice, organic brown rice, yellow Chinese noodles, or Thai rice noodles.  Add salad greens, fresh baby spinach leaves, bean sprouts, soy beans "edamame", tofu in a variety of forms like tempeh, plain or seasoned, spicy, large green pea pods, crispy, sweet, and crunchy, kernels of yellow corn, fresh sliced mushrooms, radishes, water chestnuts, large chunks of sweet, juicy pineapple, chopped green onions, and fresh parsley to taste.  Top all your stir-fry ingredients with your choice of savory sauces by ladlefuls:   soy sauce, black bean and garlic sauce, pomegranate dressing with fresh sliced basil, chopped, peanut sauce, plum sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and other varieties of spicy sauces, etc.  Then pick your protein for the small bowl, ranging from freshly cut chicken, pork, beef or calamari squid--sometimes you can find fresh shrimp or fish by selection.  Add one whole fresh egg.  Then top with your choice of seasonings, sesame seeds, powdered ginger, red pepper flakes, and/or crispy noodles, chopped nuts, etc.  Leave your table number and name on a wooden stick and wait for the chef to cook your stir-fry meal over the Flat Top Grill.  Then the waitress will bring the large bowl to the table for you to enjoy this wholesome and healthy food with a tall glass of iced water or your choice of beverages.  Lunch is all you can eat in a large bowl, unlimited, starting at 12:30 PM.

        The Flat Top Grill, at the Yorktown Center Mall in Lombard, always remembers your first visit with a special anniversary greeting by Email and sends you a complimentary stir-fry coupon for breakfast, lunch or dinner, annually, as a courtesy from the Flat Top Grill.  You can subscribe to the Flat Top Grill Email  news, events, and promotions at the web site http://www.flatto.../ or you can visit the Flat Top Grill and ask the manager or the staff for a customer sign-in form.  Come in for a friendly greeting with a smile and a big welcome for a large stir-fry meal in a bowl.

Tae Fu Chinese Restaurant  

Category: Chinese

5 star rating
 3/4/2009  
Tae Fu Chinese Restaurant is one my favorite places to visit for classic Chinese cuisine in good taste, served in beautiful Asian surroundings.  Lunch is always a savory surprise which includes a bowl of hot Chinese soup, accompanied by traditional hot tea, a large serving platter for the main dish selection, rice, and , of course, your Chinese fortune cookie.  I loved the egg drop soup with shrimp and vegetables, followed by my choice for the Happy Family meal, rice, and dessert on Valentine's Day!  Highly recommended.

Lou Mitchell's still has farm-raised eggs cooked in a skillet, made to taste,over easy, with hash browns, the way Grandmother served it.  There is homemade orange jam, served on old-fashioned, buttered toast, from oven-baked wheat bread.  You can also get a fresh prune and a slice of orange on the side.  Don't forget to ask for the morning newspaper and a warm up cup of coffee.  The taste of  oven-fresh baked goods reminds you that Lou Mitchell's does its own quality baking, fresh, everyday...
