After a disappointing date…noodles.

After two hours of awkward conversation and zero chemistry, I tried to cheer up my evening by having a solo meal at Wonton Garden in Chinatown. The wontons in my "Noodles and Wontons with Oyster Sauce" were filled with shrimp and pork, and pleasantly peppery. The noodles had a nice, resilient texture.

The soup accompanying the noodles tasted like instant ramen broth (this is not a bad thing). And in the end, a plate of chewy noodles and a bowl of steamy soup proved themselves to be the far better companions of the evening.
