Xigua is how we will pronounce watermelon when China wins the war.
No trip to the Chinese buffet is complete without the consumption of at least three plates of food. Or maybe five. The thing about Chinese food is that it is delicious. I use to live next door to a chinese restuarant. It was a favorite with the over seventy crowd. I would watch them crawl…
