Chicago: Chi Cafe (Revisited)
My roommate wanted to meet up in Chinatown. I told her to find the restaurant with the most Asian-looking people inside. Turns out that was Chi Cafe.
We managed to make it in time for their happy hour specials, where you get one dish and one drink for $4.75. Too good of a deal to pass up. We picked the beef tripe noodle soup and HK style milk tea:
My roommate wasn't a fan of the lettuce leaves in the soup, but I didn't mind. The beef could've been cooked a little longer, but for $4.75, who's complaining?
I seize every chance to order intestine. Here's the sizzling pork intestine, which gets its name from the sizzling plate (duh):
Ever since I told her about duck tongue, my roomie has been dying to try it. When we spotted duck tongue on the menu, we had to give it a try. After some discussion with our server, we were persuaded to choose the duck tongue with mushroom over the one with XO sauce:
Pretty legit stuff, but still can't beat Chinese food back in California. Sigh.
The happy hour deals are definitely worth going back for though. The cheap Chinese in me approves.
