A month or so ago my husband and I were invited to attend a special dinner courtesy of My Blog Spark. Last Wednesday was the special night and we headed across town to a pretty quaint little restaurant, Shanghai River. We arrived full of excitement to meet other bloggers and to have a night all by ourselves minus the children and enjoy a nice Chinese entree.
We enjoyed a nice soup and appetizer and the entree followed shortly after. I ordered Spicy Garlic Chicken and while it wasn’t to spicy, it was very tasty. We proceeded to get dessert but I’m not really a fan of fried bananas, so I passed. One of my favorite parts of eating at a Chinese restaurant happens to be the fortune cookie. When opening the fortune cookie, my husband gave me a really weird look and asked if I had read mine. To my surprise, this is what was inside.
To say I was surprised was an understatement. After looking back I should have been able to put everything together, but My Blog Spark had invited me to an appreciation dinner so why would I think differently. The camera crew, signing release forms, waiter having a hard time with entrees…it should have been very clear that something was up.
I was quite pleased with my Wanchai Ferry Spicy Garlic Chicken. Like I mentioned earlier, there wasn’t enough spice to call it spicy, but the meal was really quite tasty. The water chestnuts were really crunchy and tasty and not mushy like some other frozen entrees I’ve tried. I actually ate my entire plate which was actually supposed to be for 2 people. That should pretty much tell you just how much I enjoyed it.
I got punked, but Ashton didn’t show up….bummer!
My Blog Spark provided me with a free dinner and a gift card for my time but that in no way influences my opinions.

Pretty cool that they got one over on you. Even better that the entree was good. I like crunchy watercrest nuts too.
Great story! what a fun evening.
That’s too funny! Wonder if you all will be on a commercial or something…
That is such a fun idea! I have wanted to try those entree’s and now I will definitely have to since I know that they can pass as restaurant meals.
That’s so funny. I laughed when I read your post title. How fun! Would have been awesome if Ashton showed up. He’s a cutiepatootie! I have yet to try these. I heart Spicy Garlic Chicken so maybe after reading this I will buy some. I haven’t had Chinese in soo long. Mmm.
