Mexican Hibachi
Title coined by Terri. Yes, this is just... culturally wrong.
My dad wanted orange chicken today, so it was up to Ter and I to locate a hole-in-the wall place that offered it. But then, I had the "brilliant" idea to go to the mall because we knew they had it there.
So then Terri says Teriyaki chicken sounds good, and I agree. So we get Japanese food that was made by Mexicans.
Ah... the chicken tastes like... fajita meat! No joke! And the fried rice? It's yellowish-orange: tastes like Mexican rice with... peas and carrots... and the occaisonal egg.
I'm really wishing I had some tortillas and refried beans... with my... Teriyaki Chicken...
And I just KNOW you're giggling over there, Morri. >.> Well yeah, it wasn't GOING to be real Japanese food in the first place, but we have standards for our Americanized versions of Oriental foods!! And this just ain't right! O_o
