Ho-Lee-Chow

Absolutely the worst food — not just Chinese food, but food in general — I have ever had delivered in my entire life! Not to mention, incredibly expensive for small portion sizes! That said, I’m glad the portions were small because it was less for me to throw out in the garbage.
The overall flavor is just, sour and tangy. Almost as if it’s completely spoiled.
Hot garlic wings: ⁴⁄₁₀

Garlic beef: ¹⁄₁₀
Vegetable fried rice: ⁶⁄₁₀
Overall: ²⁄₁₀ = 1 star rating

Terrible service. 3 hours before delivery and they lied when I called in at the hour and half mark.

Studying for exams for a course I probably shouldn’t have taken sucked the life out of me. No energy to cook, and I really had a craving for stir-​fried mixed vegetables.
Unfortunately, a lot of restaurant websites sucked, and Ho-​Lee-​Chow offered clear choices and a convenient ordering system. The prices were a bit high, but I didn’t have to worry about having cash on hand and everything was spelled out on the receipt. Delivery instructions can be specified and it all came a lot faster than I expected.
Plus, the 2-​for-​1 soup special meant that I could try the wonton soup as well as the hot and sour. The wonton soup is bland and not that great. Don’t do it! Or have a lot of condiments handy. The hot and sour soup is sour, but needs a large boost in the hotness. The spring rolls are bland too, but had a good crispness.
So it’s basically comfort food that I’d be embarrassed to admit eating, but it hit the spot. (Since I have a selection of condiments at home.)
I wish my fortune cookie said something more exciting than, «Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.» That doesn’t always work between the sheets!
