food (++)
I'm so happy. I not only found GOOD Indian food in this weirdly conservative town, they have a bunch of Indo-Chinese specialties I'd always wanted to try.
The Chicken Manchow soup was kind of a relevation, like someone took your basic listless Chinese-American wonton soup and fixed it with an Indian spice upgrade.

@fineursine Oh, I didn't say GOOD wonton soup is listless. I just said BASIC wonton soup is listless. :)
Remember, I grew up in OHIO, so I've had some very bland Chinese food in my life. :) But I also lived in Boston for a while, so I've also had some very, very, very good Chinese food.
I've never had wonton soup to write home about, but I have definitely had good comforting wonton soup. I'm also kind of a chili-head and tend not to chase after something non-spicy when there's a spicy option!
Manchow chicken is a lot like that, I'll share a recipe if I find one that hits the same notes as the one I ordered!

@fineursine I've heard Peruvian-Chinese is kinda its own genre, though, isn't it? The whole Chifa thing? I've been dying to try that, too.
