Yeah, I don't like wasting food.
There is a Japanese place right next door to the Chinese place I was at. I don't know if the food would have been better since I think they share a kitchen..but it might have had a different chef.
I don't usually eat Chinese food either especially since my bf is so picky. He's the one who picked out that place. He told me the "Asian food" I make at home is the best Asian food he's had. XD
I went to a Thai restaurant before and the food was sooo good.

It also was actually spicy too. Sadly that restaurant isn't nearby here but there are other Thai ones here.
Actually the Chinese restaurant I went to was in an area with a whole bunch of other Asian stores/food places. My bf and I were the only people who weren't Chinese there. XD I only had chopsticks to eat with too and i'm not very good using them but I managed. I could have asked for a fork but I didn't feel like it.
I once was at a restaurant and a white lady was complaining that her food was too spicy...it only had some black pepper on it. XD
