Tintin

April 10, 2008

Date: summer 2007?

Cuisine: Chinese

Andy: I had squid, which the waiter said came either deep fried or not. I chose deep fried, obviously, but it didn’t come with any sauce and so was very dry. Disappointing. Closed now and the much better Gourmet Burger Kitchen is in it’s place. 2 stars
