"Excellent Chinese Food Delivered"

Bahrey

May 2010 — "The first time I order Chinese food for delivery in a new city, it is a bit of a gamble, because I find such restaurants range from delicious and a good value for dollar, and all the way to mediocre and expensive. You cannot really tell by the menu if it is going to be good quality and authentic, so if have no local friends to ask, you have to just hope for the best. That is what happened to me the other night; getting home from work function late and not having anything fast to prepare, I looked at the menu section of the Yellow Pages to find a Chinese restaurant within the delivery boundaries. There were several to choose from, and we finally decided on the one that had the most extensive selection and the lowest prices. We decided on the Dinner for Two, for $28.00, which allowed us to choose any three items from the menu. All the combination dinners also include chicken fried rice and spring rolls, making this a great value for your dining dollar. We ordered and were told that it would be about 45 minutes, which is standard, so we waited. I always expect the delivery time to be more than stated when I order, so I try not to expect too fast or too high quality, but my expectations were definitely exceeded on this occasion. The food arrived very quickly, in no more than 30 minutes at the most. The delivery person was friendly and efficient, and the food was hot, which is always a great thing. We had chosen Kung Po Chicken, Shrimp Mixed Greens and Szechuan Beef as our three dishes. We devoured the spring rolls as we were serving out the food, and they were tasty with a bit of crunch. The Kung Po Chicken was our favourite-it actually was spicy, which it often isn’t at these kinds of restaurants, which is authentically Chinese. The Shrimp Mixed Greens was tasty, although I would have liked to have more shrimp, but I always want more shrimp. The Szechuan Beef was also spicy, but not overpoweringly so, and all of the vegetables were soft without being limp, and all of the ingredients in each dish tasted fresh, which is again not usual for delivery. The sauces did not make the meat or vegetables soggy, and you could still taste the flavour from the food as well as the sauce. The portions were great, and there were enough leftovers for two lunches the next day, and the food kept very well and tasted great a day later. I was extremely impressed with Taipan Café, and will be ordering from them again. "
