Chinatown Garden- Washington DC

After a long day in the District, we stumbled upon Chinatown. It's a pretty small area. From what we could tell, it was about a couple blocks long. Nothing like back home. In any case, we decided to give Chinatown Garden a try.

The wife went with the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce. As always, the garlic sauce was quite oily. The great thing about their preparation was two fold. First of all, they quartered the eggplant. This makes every piece more manageable to eat. Most places we go to typically prepare it halved. The second bonus was the fact that they do not over cook the eggplant. Most of the time, it comes out too soft and stringy. Chinatown Garden's version remains crisp more enjoyable.

I went with the Szechuan Style Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. I won't lie to you, the brisket is fatty. But, I knew that going in. We all know the fatty beef gives it more flavor. The noodles are typical egg noodles, and the broth has some chili to jazz it up. But, it isn't too spicy. It was a hearty soup that hit the spot.
