Asian Chao Oriental Eatery

Fast food in Hamilton Mall. Lets do this again. Typically I stay away from most food court restaurants but there are always those dire situations when you really don’t have many options to try out or you cannot wait and you really need food ASAP. Enter Panda Express like food court Chinese food. While choosing 2 stars — I don’t even think I identify with the «Meh. I’ve experienced better» saying because — honestly, I must have not experienced any better or worse than this. So I change the rating to 3.
We — as a group with tiny 5 and 4 year olds who love greasy noodles when they are allowed to have them once in a blue moon and hence a treat, went for noodles and fried rice along with 3 different kinds of chicken:
bourbon chicken — that was marinated with excessive amount of soy
popcorn chicken — with a lot of breading; almost the size of the chicken inside
and finally
spicy chicken — which was probably my favorite, given the decent amount of kick it had that steered the kids far away from it as soon as they got a taste from the fork. Thanks kids — I will have whatever the amount of spicy chicken I can manage to masticate
All those things that you are cautioned that makes some kinds of asian preparations unhealthy — like MSG, excessive sodium via the soy sauce, etc. you will feel you are consuming exorbitant amounts of the same, as soon as you are done chowing about 4 or 5 spoon fulls of whats on your plate.
Then again, what are my other options in a food court? You tell me please!

Food is dry, portions are minimal, food is wayyyy overpriced and worst of all, the Chinese workers are extremely rude. I would advise not to eat there.
