A journey through the menu at Henry's Hunan
Item # 56:
Five Spiced Bean Curd

| Date completed: Friday March 28th, 2003

This was a very busy meal. I had flashbulbs going off in my face every ten seconds and I was being interviewed by the Chinese menu woman. Then there was all this pressure because I know this is someone's favorite dish. I won't name who it is except that I'll give you his name- John. So I did have very high hopes for this one. This dish has a lot of things going for it: a very intelligent sauce that doesn't overpower the other ingredients and yet does still fulfill its role. Visually, it's just gorgeous. It does have a couple of things against it: One: it's just not spicy enough. Especially compared to the last one, Eight Delight Vegetables. That sucker rocked! Oh sorry, back to this one. B) The bean curd was just too firm. Certainly the only item on the menu with such hard bean curd. I can see how some people will shower this one with praise, but I can't honestly give it more than a seven. OK, finally, I'm going to address the issue of the fact that people may start seeing this. I realize that I'll have my fifteen minutes of fame this Wednesday when the Chronicle article is published. Assuming the server can take all these hits and people are actually seeing this, it's my one chance to promulgate anything I want to a large number of people. So here they are: 1) The war is illegal and immoral and should be stopped immediately. 2) If there are any single women out there who like motorcycles or even just an interesting lunch companion, shoot me a bingo, and let's get in touch.
