Being woken up in the morning from a very nice and peaceful sleep by your sister calling to see if you want to go to a mall just for Chinese food is not always a happy experience. But, after complaining for half an hour on the way there I realized that I was tired of the same old boring dining hall food and needed to explore some of the other tastes this city had to offer.
Walking into Perimeter Mall, I was barraged with various phone and makeup offers even though I was texting on my phone and considered my complexion to be not-that-bad. As we pushed our way through the crowd, my sister and I could smell the aromas of the food court. My sister lead me over to a place called Bourbon Street, and much to my surprise and pleasure, I found it very nice and enjoyable, especially their trademark, the bourbon chicken which melts in your mouth.
As we left the mall, I had to stop and get an Orange Julius, my favorite drink ever, and my sister went and got a couple of cookies -- too bad I later dropped mine on the ground. I was really looking forward to it... All in all, the day was much worth the early wake up, and I cannot wait to go back again.

I'm really glad and surprised to know that you enjoyed the Chinese food, because I sometimes wonder whether Chinese food there can be attractive.Actually, it is modified to cater for Americans.
ReplyDeleteI can cook some simple Chinese food but maybe only myself can tolerate it.:P
Yeah! I assumed that the "chinese food" here is nothing like the real thing. Hopefully I can go to China some day and taste real, authentic Chinese cuisine!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love eating the "Chinese" food at the Mall of Georgia. There are two asian cuisine places and a Bourbon Street. I'm sure it's nothing like real Chinese food but I suppose it makes a good substitute for us Americans. Honestly we probably only like it because it's called "Chinese". Americans and their labels.
ReplyDeleteYou said your sister wanted to try some Chinese food, but I am sorry that you didn't really go. Let me tell you something. The breakfast is the best part of Chinese food, especially Cantonese food. We call it " drinking tea". It's not just about tea. It almost covers everything you can eat and every methods cooking food. It usually happens on weekends in China and it takes about 2 to 3 hours. It really amazing. Since I haven't been to a lot of place here, I could only recommend you that there is a resturant in Chinatown offers a sense of Chinese breakfast.
