D-rock the concurrent will regale u wit a rich tapestry woven wit da threads of storytelling. We all kno that when the times get tough that easy times make tough times easier than when they wuz tough. The accident took a toll on my personalty from who I had been carefree n lovin 2 everyone knowin that da cosmic sauce we all dippin our wings in is made from a base of holy unity amongst all sentient beins. I let da memory I can't excape of my slingshot spinnin out n goin down da boatramp on Kelly drive by da row center n da battry stop worken n it twist my footback 180 degrees. I knew I had 2 get back to me. I had 2 seek what had not been sought. I had 2 go on a journey 2 where a man could dive deep within who he is n make the mental sojourn to explore the dark corner of da mind to expose da peace that each man strive 2 be. I knew me n my gurl wuz gonna have to head to da pocono for da Memorial Day weekend break so I could get some peace amongst the mountain scenery. I had da Italian ailment call FUNDZALOW (funds-are-low) n knew we couldn't swing a Airbnb bcuz I'm on a fixed income right now n my gurl spend all her extra money on Her DUI lawyer payment plan so we had 2 stay wit her dad n brother that have 2 lazy eyes. We sleep in his room when we stay there n he sleep on da couch n his sheets always be wild all cover in dog hair n who kno when they washed. If that wuz not bad enuff then when u go out 2 use the restroom in the nite he sleep facing the door wit his eyes open so it look like he always looked kind of at you or behind u since his eyes lazy. We sat by da river the first day but it wuz rainin n tough get Down by the water at Smithfield beach bcuz my foot twisted up somethin unholy. We got down there n just sat n stare at da rain drop makin ripples in da river. It make me think about how everythin me n my gurl wuz goin thru now was just a ripple from an event cause by a poor decision. We wuz caught in the ripple now. It let me see that the ripple don't go on forever. Eventually life smooth out. The surface wanna be smooth. I knew in that moment ya boy wuz gonna be AOK. Tough time don't last just tough people bro. I knew I had da gumption to better my situation. I believed again. My girl believed again. We knew that da future had in store 4 us and we realized that we just accidentally take da elevator to da basement but we on da way back up to da penthouse but this time wit more awareness of da responsibility that go along wit it. All this enlightening made ya boy have da hunger of 2 oxen. I knew I must feast n I knew I had 2 have the cuisine of my enlightened Buddhist breatheren. I knew the battle I must fight to get back on da rite track n the only meal for for the fuel I would need was that of the great general tso. This chilken was given me the power of great warriors before me that vanquished armies, natural disasters, n personal injury cases. I got da large. No fried rice just all chilken n brocoli. The sauce wuz as sweet as the breeze on my lips cruisin down Kelly drive on the Schuylkill in my slingshot. The brocoli remind the green tree tops swayin in da breeze. A perfect summer day second to no other. Me, my girl, da slingshot, Philadelphia, the album God's Favorite by Noreaga blasting from Da speakers. Heaven, nirvana, whatever u wanna call it. I knew it waited there 4 me all bcuz of this chiken. The meal was a microcosm of the universe in dat moment. It wuz all gonna be ok. 2 have desire is 2 have inherent suffering. U just gotta make sure it worth it. I found peace in dat mountain, that river, n that meal. Believe.

I've been to this takeout spot countless times and just realized I never dropped a review. Today I…read moregrabbed some fantail shrimp, chicken lo mein (for my son), and the Dragon & Phoenix for myself. I don't like the fried rice at nearly any Chinese takeout spot in the area but the rice here most closely resembles NYC fried rice to me. The inside is fairly small with maybe 6 tables and the cleanliness is honestly what you'd expect from a Chinese takeout spot. So The Dragon and Phoenix is a little different here than I'm used to, but still good. I'm used to General Tso's Chicken with a spicy shrimp. This was General Tso's with a very basic flavored shrimp, maybe in a lobster sauce. I still enjoyed it, but it was just a bit of an unexpected twist. The fantail shrimp were a little overcooked as well but still enjoyable. Their fried rice and lo mein are always on point. This is definitely the spot I choose in this general area each time I want takeout, and I've been trying others to see if any will change that but so far none is up to the task.

On Labor Day weekend Sunday, my wife and I were driving through the Poconos and stumbled upon a…read moreThai restaurant for lunch. Loving Thai food, we decided to try it and were not impressed. The food was absolutely mediocre. We ordered different meals from this place. The food is overpriced; it's not worth it at all. Steamed dumpling: Most standard dumplings should be steamed for 8 to 12 minutes over boiling water. We had them within 5 minutes after we placed the order. Dumpling NOT FRESHLY STEAMED. They look like reheated in a microwave and it was the most bland, and souse no taste. Fried calamari appetizer, battered in gray, and worse than the menu picture shows. Size of the pinky fingernail. Hard and chewy. And tiny, the size of a nickel, and a tiny portion served on a small plate; the sauce was watered-down duck sauce, no flavor Tom Yum Soup: we ordered one small with shrimp (+$2); extra charge, they came out with only 3 small shrimp. Another small tom yum we ordered with chicken +$2 and +$2 shrimp; they came out with nice-sized 4 shrimp and a nice amount of white chicken meat. That is an unacceptable, improper serving of the same dishes with an unequal amount of shrimp for the same-size dishes. Main dish: Crying Tiger Beef (known in Thai as Sua Rong Hai ) is an incredibly small amount of bland test beef, and it costs as much as a portion of appetiser size, for a $15 price of a main course. We love Thai food; I'm comparing it to restaurants in NY and NJ, and it was the absolute worst Thai food I have ever had. Too high prices compared to the quality and size. At the end, there was a 3% service charge for a credit card fee that was never posted anywhere, only at the cash register, until you went to the cash register to pay. That is a scam! What if I didn't have cash? Then what?! Definitely won't come here again.

For a General Tso's you expect a little "something". This was sesame chicken minus the seeds. Just thickened sugar water on chicken. The "fried rice" was yellow rice with pork added. I'm not sure why places in the Poconos do this, but there are only a handful of places that make real fried rice. This isn't one of them. The chicken nicely fried, the egg roll not so much. Overcooked and greasy. The cost was $10 and change. It said you get a discount for using cash so I did. No discount. Save yourself the trouble, go somewhere else. Winner - sucked.

It was the closest…read moreThai restaurant to the Quality Inn hotel we were staying at in East Stroudsburg PA. and we both felt like Thai food. The place is the nicest Thai restaurant we've ever been to inside and out. Very well maintained and very clean! We ordered the crispy shrimp appetizer and the chicken satay, both were delicious. I had the best Pad Thai with chicken I ever had, and my wife had the coconut shrimp and loved them. I asked for #3 out of five for the spice and it was almost too spicy, but I handled it since it cleared my sinuses very well. Next time we go I'll choose #2 instead though. We drank ice water and the total bill was over $80.00 so it's not cheap to eat there but the food is well worth it. I overheard the owners were on a once-a-year vacation and the wait staff appeared inattentive and preoccupied. I had to ask for a water refill twice and no one came by to ask how we liked the entrees. It was after 3PM when we arrived and the place was not that crowded so the lack of attention by the staff was surprising. They may have been short staffed, so we were forgiving about the service. Oh yes, we split the Dubai chocolate cake desert with delicious peanut coated vanilla ice cream that was expensive but to die for. We chose not to drink alcohol and are happy we did since the prices were exorbitant, especially their signature martinis around fifteen bucks! They have a nice selection of beers too with the least expensive domestics at $5.50. We don't drink wine but think they had that too. All in all, the place is excellent and we are looking forward to our next visit to that area so we can stop in again and enjoy the food.
