i'm always on the never-ending search for good dirty chinese food. since i've moved into my new apartment in hell's kitchen - i have to admit - i've been cooking a lot more in my very nice new kitchen. however - the other day - i had a hankering for dirty chinese (a typical meal for me when i lived in brooklyn). i called up mees for some delivery.

since it was a new experience i stuck to the basics - general tso's chicken, steamed vegetable dumplings, hot and sour soup, and sesame wantons. in about 10 minutes - the doorbell rang and there it was - all this food in all it's glory (and cheap too - less than $25 for all that - and it served two of us).

i may have ordered things that weren't their specialty but what i had was pretty good and passable for good dirty chinese food. i was impressed with the sesame wantons which had a slight kick to them.

it'll definitely become one of my hell's kitchen stand-bys for when i don't have the urge to cook. a man is never alone when a dirty chinese delivery man is just a phone call away. um um goodness!

I used to live around the corner from the Mee on 2nd Ave. The fastest I ever clocked them was seven minutes from hanging up the phone to ringing the bell. Good honest food, too.
