I heart Pei Wei

Tonight my fortune cookie seemed to perfectly sum up what sounded like a bible lesson with a ploy to sell more asian food:

“He who eats the last lettuce wrap shall be the least hungry.”

Indeed.

  1. In some Asian cultures, at least in Thailand, who ever eats the last piece of food off of the plate will have good luck. In America, it seems more like greed.

  2. Interesting - I can’t decide if the person eating the last lettuce wrap is greedy (because they have already had enough lettuce wraps and need to let someone less full to enjoy it) OR if they generoulsy let other people eat their lettuce wraps while they , even though they were hungry, waited.

    Or if they were just late to dinner and everybody already had their fill.

    Is it ‘the last shall be first’ or ‘the last shall be last’?

    I don’t like lettuce wraps.

  3. Lettuce is just crunchy water.

  4. Pei Wei ROCKS. The lettuce wraps happen to be the same as the ones at PF Changs, by the way. My fave is the Teriyaki Bowl with extra sesame seeds and sauce. The Thai Dynamite is good, but you might loose a layer of your tongue if you manage to finish it. The beef soba noodles are good, too. I have no idea if I spelled soba right. What I like about their food is NO MSG, all WHITE meat, and BROWN rice (even the fried rice has half brown and white). Their Pad Thai is good, too (with extra cilantro)… but it can’t beat a Thai person’s version of it. The best Thai I’ve had is in Houston at Bangkok Inn (Katy, TX).

    I feel the biggest problem is the lack of prose-space on the fortune cookie. I propose a simple solution: The Fortune Cake! You get a slice with enough room to fit a novellette, or a laminated poster, or a small figurine. Really, if you needed to, you could just smatter some frosting on a text-book. Presto! Enlightening desert.
