""Western"" Food

Nope folks, you can still read read correctly. There are two sets of quotes around the word Western in the title. It deserves two haha.

I just got back from singing Karaoke and lunch with Jack (guobin) [国斌]. The restaurant is a tea house that features western dishes options. Today I had a giant plate of french fries that, with the ketchup, tasted almost like McDonalds, which was a massive treat for me haha. They also have pizza, but for some reason offer about any flavor you can think of except pepperoni. The previous time I went I went for the "standard" Western Dish- the steak.

In just about any western restaurant, called 西餐 (xi can) "shee tson", the main dish on the menu is half-inch thick steak covered in gravy or another kind of sauce. Each steak comes nicely overcooked with a fried egg (middle sadly not runny) and "macaroni" (which is actually just spaghetti noodles haha) in a sauce like watery ketchup, as well as vegetables (piece of a tomato and a piece of carrot). It all comes together burnt/stuck to the bottom of a still-sizzling pan~

Now don't get me wrong, it's actually pretty delicious, especially with the gravy/sauce.
