what shen and i ate at Jimmy's Restaurant (IN REMEMBRANCE OF REMEMBRANCE DAY IN REMEMBRANCE OF JIMMY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏) November 14th, 2023

• Wonton soup: surprisingly not bad. Light broth was exemplified by the wing soy sauce. Came with a side of something crunchy but no taste associated to it. The skins are really thick and the meat is really dry and I don’t think they actually seasoned it. It’s like the chicken nugget colour and texture except pre cooked and it’s not even plentiful. But there is a charm to this and the charm is in the broth - I am reminded of home, of 12 am meals alone in my dorm craving any form of Chinese food
• Egg rolls: like a pizza pocket but full of what is supposed to be spring roll filling. Why is it breaded? Fusion to its mac but there cabbage, pork, and st least it’s somewhat not lean meat. The skin is so thick and came out lukewarm. The plum sauce is so terrible. I’m wondering how someone even folds a spring roll to become this shape. I ate a giant chunk of salt in one of my bites
• Chop suey; I had no idea what CS was before this meal and I can now say it’s just bean sprouts and nothing else. The meat is unseasoned dry chicken breast chunks and I think that’s beautiful. The bean sprouts themselves are slightly salty and just taste like they’ve been in a wisp of a wok
• Rice: I don’t know how they can make rice this brown and still have it taste like plain white rice. That is a spectacular feat - I think I would physically have to try to not put enough soy sauce and still season it better. The rice is dry and crumbly on the outside and too moist on the inside. How is that possible? Jimmy has done it yet again
• Ribs: y’all these are straight up white people ribs LOL. It is so dry. The outside somehow reminds me of charsiu if it was in Texas. It’s almost jammy? The meat falls off the bone but it’s so tough. How do you even do this???) dry age ribs!!!!!??? Just steam them??
