Authentic Chinese Restaurant

 My experience at the Chinese restaurant is a unique experience and different from any other experience I have had before especially with restaurants that am trying for the first time. It was the first time ever in my life that I was not able to eat anything. Although, my friend who was with me at the time convinced me that the food is really good and I should give it a try, because she saw that I was very hesitant to eat anything. So, eventually I did try one of the weirdest dishes I have ever tried, which was chicken feet, yes you heard me right CHICKCEN FEET! As soon as I put it in my mouth I had to take it out immediately, it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tried. The chicken feet I believe were soaked in some sort of soy sweet sauce, and they barely had any meet on them. Also, just so that people do not misunderstand me I like Chinese food especially shrimp and chicken dumplings but this restaurant was not like any of the ones I have tried before in NYC. The other dish that I have also found disgusting is some sort of noodle sheets you can see it in the picture soaked in soy sauce. It had a very weird gooey texture and barely any flavor. The only thing I have genuinely liked from this restaurant is the Chinese tea. The reason am saying this story is because I really find it interesting that not only restaurants of different countries are different in NYC but also restaurants of the same cuisine can be different, in this case not all Chinese restaurants in NYC are the same. Also, the other thing that I want to mention is our likeness for food depends on where we are from originally and what we are used to eating growing up.
