I eat Wanchai Ferry a lot and it really is great Chinese in a box. I like it better than the takeout restaurants because I know what’s in it (no MSG) plus I can add vegetables to make it healthy. Plus, it’s always nice to eat in the comfort of your own home in front of the TV, especially when it’s so cold outside!

I’m definetely try it now. You should try some Patak’s sauces for Indian food. The Tiki Masala rocks. BTW. You rock also. I love your reviews and still am making pancakes from the whipped cream type can!
Anyway I was cracking up on your description of your favorite Chinese restaurants. Both of my favorites are described to a tee from you! If you are ever in Austin try Wok-n-Roll. Not one, but two daughters that would rather be doing something else on a Friday night!

@Derek - Fortunately, I live near a few good Chinese restaurants that are full of Chinese women yelling orders. @amanda - It doesn't just look tasty, it is tasty. @Momma - General Mills makes magic, after all they do make Lucky Charms. @Neil - HA! HA! You totally WOK! @Sass - They were kind of time consuming and I would always end up doing them at 1am, which caused me to sound tired. I've been thinking about doing something else with audio, but I haven't had the time to do it. Boo on me. @kagai - Yes, you try now. (Read that last line in a fake Chinese accent.) @Molly - They're dishes from Japan, because that's how I keeps it realz. I may not be able to eat with plastic chopsticks, but I sure can stab ~~people~~ things with them. ;-) @Heidi - Flaming Chang is the greatest Asian drag queen EVAR! No Adam's apple, really feminine hands, and the ability to hide a penis really well.

@(( K@Y )) – Do it! And if you don’t like it, maybe you can get a refund from General Mills.

@Chuck – They do have a Kung Pao Chicken version, but I think you would be better off with Pei Wei.

@Lee – I think it’s the plates that make it look good…or my amateur photography.

@NobleArc, The Lazy Canadian – Go get some! Get some NOW!

@Brian – Damn you Target! Damn you for not being here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean yet!

@wyn – I think that’s why I don’t like PF Chang’s. It’s not authentic enough. Not enough yelling.

@Pomai – Chinese version of Hamburger Helper…that’s a very good way to describe it. Although, there is Chicken Helper, so technically it would be the Chinese version of Chicken Helper. :-)

@angry bob – I watched a lot of Kung Fu Theater too.

I misread Fleming Chang as Flaming Chang and I was trying to invision what a Flaming Chang was in my mind and it was pretty exciting.

This dinner in a box seems like it takes great effort to make (for something that looks like it should be instant) — it should come with cryogenically frozen pieces of chicken and make itself when you open it.

(Wistfully, eyes lowered) Oh, Marvo, you delicate flower. I can’t believe you have such a dainty, feminine set of dishes with a cute floral pattern. It looks like it might be Corelle ware, am I correct? Seriously, you need to butch up your taste in home decor. Where are the square, matte black plates that truly reflect your masculinity?

Eh, if it was $6.59 plus the cost of the chicken plus factoring in the amount of time it took for you took make only 3 (what happened to 4?) servings plus the cost of gas, I would have just gone to the Chinese restaurant for takeout.

And you can’t eat with the plastic chopsticks? Pussy.

I saw the Sweet and Sour Chicken version, I think I will try it now.

Hey Marv, what happened to the audio reviews… that was cool.

i LOVE THE SPICY GARLIC CHICKEN ONE! It is fast and easy to make and I have tried to make chinese food on my own following recipes, but it never came out like this. Even Hubby was enjoying it! yay!

I’ve not had the cashew chicken variety of these but have had a couple others and they were pretty good! Rice was great, seasonings were good and pretty easy to make. It’s better than the Chinese food I’ve had in some restaurants.

The chopsticks are made that way so they’ll slide easily into the ribcage and skewer your heart while it’s still beating. You know, if someone were so inclined to use them that way. angry bob wouldn’t know anything about that.
