Great Wall of China

When living in Seguin, Texas you are limited on your choices of delicious sit down restaurant style food, I found this out within the first week I moved to the small town of Seguin; impossible to discover such a place absolutely not, will it require bravery to dive into the realm of  unfamiliarity to our taste buds absolutely! This is freaking Texas people, I know Seguin has best kept secret restaurants that people wouldn’t bother to try why you ask because they are hole in the wall, questionable, you call this a good restaurant but on the inside it is steaming with home style, family recipe flavor packed foods that would slam your taste buds so hard you will wonder why you haven’t been eating this food till now and I am willing to find them!

This last food discover was a great success because I once worked at Chinese restaurant in Bartlesville Oklahoma; very small and run down but the food was so authentic and amazingly wonderful only the locals knew about it which made it more special. MY point is since I have quite I have never found anything even close to anything similar until yesterday. I stumbled upon this tiny restaurant while I was making a goodwill trip, it is tucked into the right side of the strip mall where it sits at the end from all the other restaurant I wouldn’t of noticed it if I hadn’t gone into goodwill and yes I almost forgot it is right beside the only casino in town; which I still question so when you work up an appetite from gambling definitely stop by the Great Wall Chinese cuisine.

 It was my boyfriend’s birthday yesterday so we went out to the Great Wall because we both love Chinese food and neither of us had ever been before; walking into the restaurant we were instantly greeted with the smell of spiced meat and fried rice, the walls had framed pictures of water colored Chinese artwork and brightly shaded gold and red lanterns dangling from the ceiling. The restaurant was spacious yet cozy and we could hear the sound of conversation streaming in the air, little tip for later best time to go to any restaurant is when the San Antonio Spurs are in the playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunders, you can bet your food will be out in less than twenty minutes it was remarkable empty with the exception of a small family in the back corner.

Our serve greeted us and sat us, we immediately picked up our menus and began scanning the menu  at all the entree choices, looking up and down there was Lo mein, sea food platters and Chinese style vegetables served with your choice of chicken, shrimp or beef needless to say everything sounded good! My boyfriend and I had eaten quite a big lunch earlier that day so we decided to share an entree which we both decided that combination chop suey sounded amazing; our food was brought to us in a speedy fifteen minutes.

Our waitress set down a large plate of chop suey with a bowl of rice and set down an extra plate and silverware, our plates were clean and I felt the entree was a perfect size to share between two people. The vegetables were tossed with chicken, shrimp and beef were covered with a thick sauce that had a mild flavor, every flavor blended perfect and the food was cooked to a T the crunch from the onions and bell peppers made my mouth water with each bite. The rice was soft and fluffy and overall I am telling you this is a spot to go to have a taste of china. If you are in the Seguin area you need to do yourself a favor and stop at the China Wall to treat yourself to good food.
