Summary[edit]

Description

May's Garden Restaurant, Ottawa - Kung Pao Chicken

This appeared on the menu as Kung Po Chicken (宫保鸡丁) for $6.95. The price was for the lunch special which included soup or egg-roll and rice.This was more than I wanted and I just asked the waitress to bring me the chicken. The dish consisted of irregularly cut 'cubes' of chicken breast with dried chillies and peanuts. Non-standard additions were green pepper, canned water chestnut and chunks of baby corn. Restaurants obviously have to turn a profit but I though the additions, especially the latter two, were a bit too much. The sauce was a rather nondescript soy based sauce with no scorched chilli or 'lychee' sweet and sour taste. There was also a jarring presence of 5 spice powder, although this taste seemed to be associated just with the peanuts. Overall the dish was not nearly as good as any of my own renditions.
