Dine in or Take out? Chinese food at its best


There is an adorable little, family run Chinese food restaurant just down the street from us called Halibut House (it also does fish and chips), and they do FANTASTIC Chinese food. I usually find Chinese food way too sugary and not very filling, but theirs is more flavours than sweet, and quite substantial.

We have gotten food from them quite a few times now and I love the atmosphere. The hostess is funny, sweet and enjoys getting to know the patrons. This time when Aaron went in to pick up our food, she challenged him as he walked in the door with "password?!?"
He said, "um...Dorothea?"
She said, "spelled 'IA' or 'EA'?"
He, now laughing, said, "EA."
She pulled out the brown paper bag with our order in it and handed it to him, saying, "Hmm, good to know for next time. I spelled it wrong."

We had Ebeth over, and we got Sweet & Sour Pork, Ginger Fried Beef (SO good), Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, and Chicken Chow Mein. It was delicious.

  1. Next time, ask if they want to open a franchise at Bill's Food & Feed.

  2. Heh, I will get right on that. Somehow I don't expect particularly thrilling results...
