Little Bit of Everything

Never let it be said that I'm above having a website challenge dictate what I'm going to have for lunch.

When SeamlessWeb issued the challenge to order the mystery-item ominously called "Little Bit of Everything" from Dong Hai Grille—an item with NO FURTHER DESCRIPTION, listed under "Chinese Style Cantonese Wonton and Noodle Soup"—I went for it...

When the order arrived, I ran downstairs and signed the delivery slip. The delivery guy handed me my prize, offering me a sly grin as he did so. As if he knew the adventure that awaited me...

BEHOLD, Ladies and Gentlemen... the 8th Wonder of the World...

"Little Bit of Everything"!!

What mysteries lurk beneath the murky depths of this culinary marvel...??

The soup: a cross between "sweet & sour" and "egg drop". Not as salty as you might imagine.

Swimming amidst a swamp of egg noodles: baby shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, egg, mushroom, tofu. Some of that is an educated guess since everything ends up looking and tasting pretty much the same in this delightful cesspool of love. (No wontons, btw.)

As I imagined, the name of this "dish" pretty much describes what you're getting. A clearance sale of soupy items packed into a tub.

Now please, pack your knives and go.
