Dining Capsule: China Village
There’s an extensive menu at China Village, which probably serves some form of just about everyone’s favorite Chinese food. We had a round of chicken lettuce wraps (sort of like a Chinese burrito) to start before sampling the sesame beef and sweet-and-sour chicken, both of which are tasty. One thing that’s different at China Village is the General Tso’s Chicken — perhaps a different military commander with the same name handed down the recipe. The unique orange sauce has a spicy kick, while the meat is cut into smaller pieces and breaded more lightly than is the norm. It was a little like eating General Tso’s Popcorn Chicken. We also enjoyed a serving of snow peas and beef, and a serving of cashew chicken. All of the meats at China Village were well cooked and well seasoned, and there was plenty of rice to keep everyone happy.
