ever since my lunch buddy left me, i’ve been eating really bad food.  mcdonalds, togos, and the like are all staples of my diet.  today was no different, i went to go eat at mr. chau’s.

for those of you who aren’t familiar with mr. chau’s, it is a fast food chinese restaurant with food pre-made and waiting for you to eat it.

here are a few guidelines when eating at a place like mr. chau’s:

1. only frequent such a place during the peak lunch hours.  this will ensure that you have the freshest food made with the high turnover.  there is nothing worse than cold bad chinese food.
2. avoid the fried food.  i know it might SEEM like it tastes good, but the oil that they fry the food in is nasty.  trust me, it might taste good the first few bites, but you’ll regret it later.  try their stir fry or the vegetables, they actually aren’t that bad.
3. eat only enough to make yourself full, do not overeat.  eating too much bad food is just asking for punishment.

i had the black pepper chicken and some stir fry vegetables.  it was pretty decent.
