Wang Chung In Memphis

Tonight Your's  Truly and her sweetie West celebrated her first day of work at FedEx Freight by imbibing in some most bodacious chinese food at Wang's Mandarin House.  The moment we stepped through the doors....we knew....we weren't in Kansas anymore and this was gonna be a good dinner!

First of all, the aroma in the air made our mouths begin to water.  We couldn't get seated fast enough.  No buffet at Wang's that was for sure.  We started to peruse the menu....where to begin....the possibilities were just endless!!!  We decided we needed to have an appetizer to help us decide.  Your's Truly has discovered a wonderful wine here in Bluff City, Fire Road Sauvignon Blanc - a product of New  Zealand. I've become most fond of it!  But I wander....back to the food.

West ordered pork dumplings and an egg roll while Your's Truly had a spring roll, egg drop soup and edamame.  Why we gobbled that right up and then our wonderful waitress, Hi Ling, came to take our order for the entree.  After much debate, YT settled on the shrimp in lobster sauce with steamed rice and West had the fried shrimp with orange sauce.  Needless to say, there was some sharing going on betwinxt us! 

Well, 3 glasses of that fabulous wine later, I was so full there was no way I was finishing that mighty fine meal!  So, Hi Ling was quick to replenish my steamed rice so I'd have enough for lunch tomorrow...yeah, she's the bomb....and packed up sauces for us too! 

Now the best part...or well, the end part....we got some mighty optimistic fortune cookies!!  Now, we all know the rule - you read your fortune cookie and add "in bed".  I'm sad to admit that I was not hip to this until MY CHILDREN no doubt taught this to me.  I was shocked as you can imagine.    West had just a most romantic fortune "Your lost possession will be found within the month"....in bed.  (yeah, sweet!)  Your's Truly had this one "Remember three months from this date!  Your lucky star is shining"....in bed. 

So, not only was the food to die for ....they had crooner music playing in the background and CHECK THIS....they have a piano player Friday and Saturday nights.  So, yes....you will be hearing more about Wang's!  That's it for tonight...I bid you good night on a full, happy stomach!
