Dinner -- 1/8/08

Cathay House
825 Wooded Acres
Waco, TX 76710
254.776.1072

5:35 -- 6:50 PM

Ramona: Egg drop soup, egg roll, "Three Treasures from the Orient" (Shrimp, scallops, sauteed with snow peas, broccoli, mushrooms, and baby corn in a white sauce), and iced tea.
Fortune Cookie: "Your friend or partner is needing your advice and encouragement."

Jim: Egg drop soup, egg roll, Chicken with Chinese Mushrooms and snow pea pods, bamboo shoots, in a white sauce, and hot tea. Fortune Cookie: "If you go fishing, your catch will be plentiful."

It seems as if all the Chinese restaurants in Waco are turning into buffets, and we have our favorites of those, but Cathay House is strictly sit down. The dining expereince here is quiet and peaceful. Soft Chinese music plays in the background, and even when it is crowded, the conversations are hushed. The service is always good, and the soup and egg rolls are perfect. We both agreed we had never had a bad meal there, and have eaten most of the dishes without the warning of "spicy" on them.

-Jim
