Which is weird because (though I can't recall having bad scallops in recent memory so I could be off) I'm pretty sure that dried scallops concentrates that fishy flavor of scallop into, well, wonderful goodness (I don't like scallops because of the texture). Mmm, a handful of those babies - well, maybe just one or two, they're expensive - in some congee, or ooh! if you throw them, dried, into a rice cooker at the beginning of the cycle... oofah. That's some good eatin'. I’m not a big fan of scallops except the dried kind.

Not everything but enough to go again. I have had the following: 1. Shrimp Tempura Box---Not enough shrimp for price but they were tasty 2. Chicken Yakisoba--- Really good, fresh tasting, great sauce. 3. Pork Buns-- Excellent-- I prefer my Dim Sum from ladies with carts walking around in Flushing, but good for mid-town 4. Chicken Buns-- Blech. To reiterate, BLECH! 5. Roti Canai--Loved it. Kind of a scallion pancake, with a side of yellow curry chicken potato thing. Anyways, thats my 2 cents.. Great? No. Terrible? No. I am kinda with Cait here--- Like an Asian Taco Bell. I gotta tell ya, I like Good Portions. Not everything but enough to go again. I have had the following:

Zach! I was one of your first profiled Midtown lunchers! (Caitlin's my full name). Thanks for taking my recommendation, and sorry it disappointed you! I think Good Portions is the Asian version of Taco Bell. It's not good because it's anywhere near authentic or comparable to a certain "food genre"... i just sometimes get a craving for it and have to go. :) And yes, maybe i was being a little overly dramatic in a bid to garner some attention and get Jennifer's book... I saw her on the Colbert Report the other night. I think you may have the transitive power of Huckabee! Awww… Zach! I was one of your first profiled Midtown lunchers! (Caitlin’s my full name).
