I Got To Eat Chinese Food!

[HAK1031]

God bless the local Chinese restaurant owner. I came in just before the dinner rush, gave him a crash course in celiac, and he was sooooooo helpful. Not only was he pleasant and very understanding about the severity of the disease and the need for CC precautions, he even offered to make special food for me! He made me fried rice in a clean wok w/o gluteny soy sauce or seasonings and I had shrimp with lobster sauce, which is a white sauce thickened with corn starch. needless to say, I was a VERY happy girl. I could tell he got it when he put my food in a separate bag "just to be extra careful" and made sure they didn't even put fortune cookies or those crispy wonton things in with it...now that's careful! His English was excellent, and he was so nice about the whole thing. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to get takeout!

Just wanted to share my experiences!

Very good news!!!!! Sounds like a keeper. If you take your own gluten-free soy sauce, I bet he can prepare almost anything for you.

(this post made me CRAVE chinese food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I am going to be in CT this summer visiting family. Would you mind sharing the name/location of your wonderful Chinese restaurant? I am salivating as I think about it!

I am jealous! That is one thing that I miss the most and can't seem to replicate at home.

Congrats!! Where in CT are you? There are 2 Chinese restaurants in Westchester (NY) that have very extensive gluten-free menus. One of them is in Rye, so depending where in CT you are, you may be close that one.

Wow--that sounds great! I'm so happy for you--and a tiny bit jealous

hehe yes I'm very excited

this was Green Tea in Avon, CT

and I'm not near Westchester, but I have grandparents in Scarsdale so when I go to visit them that could be great...where were they/what were their names?

Awesome news, I wish I had this place near me

Yeah Avon is definately not near Westchester (although a really lovely town). Fortunately both of these restaurants are near Scarsdale. The closer one to Scarsdale is in Ardsley. It's called Golden Wok. I actually just came home a little while ago from getting take out from there.

The other one, which is only about 15 minutes (at most) from Scarsdale, is Ray's Cafe in Rye Brook.

Both are incredible. Hope you get to try them next time you are in the area.
