China Garden - Schwalmstadt

A lunch with a person plus take-away for another person for 22,30 Euro I'm sorry, because this should be a somewhat shorter evaluation, but.... Sometimes you forget the food as yesterday before loud work. This shouldn't happen to me again today, and so I took a specially forced and planned break and looked for a lunch in not yet known gastronomy in Schwalmstadt. I've never noticed the China Garden before, although it's often over. So today the attempt to eat there for lunch. First I thought it was closed because from the side of the street it didn't look very welcoming and also not open. Paper and carton waste in a stairway and old furniture former furnishings? under a blue plan, I had the impression that this is a closed house. But once I walked around the building, I suddenly saw the real entrance, own parking for customers and menu in the curtain. Oh, so open. After opening the door, I was greeted by a pleasing well that made me feel comfortable. A view around showed a large hall with little possibilities to sit protected in a corner. I was apparently the first guest, and a young lady came to me to behave and left me free choice at the seat. A few minutes after my arrival, the next three guests also appeared, and suddenly the Chinese music from the boxes, which had already been expected before, was heard. It may not be here, but I have never heard such music. Again and again, something new is good because change is always good. Recently only the Chinese, where White Roses from Athens sounded through the boxes in a China version. And today Chinese sounds like what do I say? electronic organ played similar department store music somehow haunted. But good, that's good. I don't know. Chinese ambience was not produced by me. So, quickly because only guest supplied with menu I could order quickly. This time a la carte, because interesting things were found in the map. For example, the Thai Tom Kha Gai soup, which I had already been able to enjoy in three other restaurants before, has a certain possibility to compare. So she was ordered and came to my table relatively quickly. The vegetables were positive, because broccoli and cauliflower roasts were fresh and bite-resistant, just like the mushroom insert. The chicken meat insert was cooked and also bite-resistant. The soup itself was not great to distinguish from water. Apparently coconut milk tastes like water I'm not an expert. In this respect, it was hot-formed and not or little prepared except hot coconut milk. Spicy, as described in some recipes, it was not now. So, soup inserts were ok, the soup in itself was only coco-sweet and very sharp, among others, through a slice of Pepperocini. I don't want to know how this soup tastes sharp in the version. As the main course I chose fried noodles special, i.e. with crabs, beef, pigs and chicken meat. This also came relatively quickly after the soup. Tastefully ok, but somehow a little disappointing. Very little meat of not necessarily delicate quality, not really hot, but rather lukewarm. I haven't used so much Sambal Oelek for a long time to get really taste in a food. Nevertheless, I ordered Bami Goreng to take away again, because my wife should try. In the end, the Bami Goreng didn't look much different from my noodles special. The menu contains some surprises. Allergic, as first encountered on our Usedom holiday, I respond to .... we charge an extra charge of 2 euros if you want pasta or fries instead of rice. OK, if it's a big difference, okay, but I want to doubt it. It just upsets me. Also, the dishes are not excellent, which ingredients/taste enhancers are used, but they are generally said. Our dishes are prepared with flavor enhancers on request even without . But complete contrast, for example, to the curry house in Marburg there, the card says explicitly Without: preservatives, binders and flavor enhancers! About 100 dishes, eight menus and 18 discounted lunch menus. We are close to the strange end of this lunch: I didn't make my portion completely, so I asked if I could pack the rest. It was chased, but what happened, I haven't experienced yet. The Lord came to my table with one of the ever-known Styrofoam containers, placed it on the menu, took the plate with my rest and poured the whole into the polystyrene container with the aid of a fork. That's different. I felt like, take this and get out. As a really welcome guest, I didn't feel a single minute here, and then this conclusion. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is that perhaps the correct procedure? At home, I remembered, maybe he's already had bad experience with other customers who complained that not what was really on the plate. I saw what I was packing. Or, as I said, this procedure is completely natural and has never happened to me. I'm curious about other experiences. Conclusion: Once again I can talk and try something new. However, I cannot say a recommendation. But as it always is: best to try out yourself. Meal! The consumed: Tom Kha Gai soup 3,30 Fried noodles special with crabs, beef, pigs and chicken meat 8,00 Bami Goreng to go 8,00 Wine Rheinhessen Alsheimer Rheinblick 0.2 l 3,00 hp: 3 stars may be too much but 2 are really hurting me, and they were far more appropriate elsewhere!
