We've all had those days; you get home from work/school/the in-laws, you're tired, you don't feel like cooking but you need to eat. You open the fridge and before your tired eyes is a vast array of blah. One such day, I went online and found Fei Da, a Chinese restaurant near my apartment. I browsed the menu, picked a few likely candidates, and about forty minutes later a friendly knock at the door and a delicious smell let me know my food had arrived.
I got the General Tso's Chicken combo platter, a pint of egg drop soup, Sesame Chicken, the Triple Delight, and two Shanghai spring rolls. The combo platter included pork fried rice and a regular egg roll, and could serve as a meal and a half all by itself. All of the food was piping hot, and after it cooled I sampled a bit of everything. The General Tso's chicken was spicy, but with a sweet aftertaste, and was very good. The pork fried rice had chunks of onion, ham, carrots and little peas in it, and was also good. The egg roll was better than the Shanghai spring rolls. The egg drop soup was good, not spectacular but it didn't have the artificial crab or chopped chives some restaurants include, which I appreciated. The included fried noodles were tasty, with a good consistency; they didn't turn into goop in the soup, and weren't overly greasy. The Sesame chicken and Triple Delight were also good, and both came with white rice. The Triple Delight's primarily vegetables, chicken, and beef, with a few jumbo shrimp included. Though there weren't many shrimp, the ones that came with the dish were plump, large and juicy, and had a great flavor. The only two disappointments were the Shanghai spring rolls, which tasted like they had a little too much ginger, and the fortune cookies, which are some of the worst I've ever tasted. Overall, I was very pleased with the food, it was delivered in a reasonable time by a polite deliveryman, it was easy to order online, and it was all at a good price. If you're in the mood for Chinese but don't feel like driving, check and see if Fei Da will deliver to you. I'll certainly be ordering from them again.
