girls help cook the chinese food, good, no girls only men, no good

I've experimented with the Chinese restaurants and I'm learning new things. I've always looked for a "ramshackle, shoddy" facade to signal that there's good food waiting for me. So, strip malls have nothing to offer. One must venture into an "urban enterprise zone, the inner city, a ghetto-" one must smell the fumes of cars and buses and see the grime adorning signs to find good cooking. Beyond this criteria, I didn't think I had anything new to learn but for the misfortune of trying a new, "ungrimy" place not far from where I live..

When I entered the restaurant, I was alarmed by the conspicuous absence of women. This gave me a "bad feeling." I'm accustomed to seeing at least one or two gals tending to the woks and greeting customers. And as strange as it sounds, give me a youthful Chinese gal with a grease-splattered apron- along with the usual black hair and white, white skin.. the rudimentary English- this is very sexy to me; and I'll expand on this in the privacy of my mind... But I ordered my food in this "all male" place and not to my surprise, there was a "harshness" to my dinner. It needed softening from the female touch. Yes, it gets a little mysterious to ponder the renderings of heart and soul on a meal. But there was a palpable "something missing" in this experience and I ate hastily and hurried away, disappointed .

So, it's with great care that I'll continue to seek a variety of new experiences with the food Chinese; and once I identify a restaurant as suitable for entry, I will pause at the counter and look about the place. Only when I see the smiling eyes, the warm countenance of the ladies there, will my heart be happily served.
