Full Kee

Recently Lyla, Tracy, Austin, William and I met
up with old friend Ellen Law and her husband Sam
at a Chinese restaurant of Ellen's choosing
called Full Kee. We had all been to the DC
location of Full Kee but this was special because
Ellen is a regular customer and can order "off
menu". There is a movie called The
Corruptor about a chinophile NYC cop (played
by American action star/underwear model Mark
Wahlberg) who is sent in to help Chinese cop
(played by Hong Kong action star Chow Yun Fat )
deal with a dangerous Asian gang in Chinatown.
Here's some dialog from the movie:
Nick Chen: Beef intestine noodles, want some?
Danny Wallace: Uh, no.
Nick Chen: You wanna be a Chinese, you gotta eat the nasty stuff.
Well, Ellen did not order the nasty stuff for us but we were thrilled to know she could have. What she ordered was delicious. The only odd thing was the dessert - a sweet thick concoction made with pea green soup and tapioca.
