MENU ITEMS: General Tso's Chicken
House Special Fried Rice
Singapore Mae Fun
So, this is the first of a series posts I will do about the first Chinese food tasting. The first tasting was attended by 5 tasters. We tasted food from 8 Pottstown restaurants. The dishes we tried from each were General Tso's Chicken, Singapore Mae Fun and House Special Fried Rice.
I picked up all of the dishes between 3 and 4 in the afternoon, but I will note which restaurants also deliver. The prices for each restaurant were within a couple dollars of each other. The restaurants were:

The most friendly service I received for my pickups was from China Pan on High Street. They also gave me 2 free egg rolls which made an excellent breakfast the day after our tasting. An eggroll also came with my order from No. 1 Chinese Restaurant in the North End Shopping Center. It may have been part of a combination platter of General Tso's and pork fried rice which is not what I ordered and they totally missed the Mae Fun. They also do not take credit cards so I had to run to the Redner's to use the ATM. It was my last stop so my patience was a little thin at that point, but I sucked it up and got cash to pay for my partial order.
Below is the review by the numbers. Each taster was asked to rate the dishes and make comments. If the rating had a plus or a minus I added or subtracted .25 so it reflected in the numbers. I will compile the comments and post them soon with lots of pictures!
