Often when confronted with something satisfying one wishes for more. Such was the case with the Daily Combination. Knowing that I would be out of town the next few days and without the all important Lucky Boy hangover meal, I figured I would pack it in while I could, weekend be damned. This time I took the Charming Gentleman's advice from the first Daily Combination experience, and sampled the Daily Combination A. Indeed, this Combination is built for the true connoisseur of Chinese cuisine: Sweet and Sour Chicken or Pork, Egg Roll, and the all important fried rice.

Service was excellent as usual, and the meal did not disappoint. Much more flavorful than the Mandarin Chicken (Daily Combination C), the Sweet and Sour Chicken offered a traditional and welcome interpretation of the classic we've all come to enjoy. The Sweet and Sour sauce mixed well with the rice leading to quite a clumpy mixture of over-soy-sauced rice, congealing S&S sauce, and scattered bits of fried dough. It was gluttonous and thoroughly enjoyed.

The Egg Roll did its job, though I didn't notice any Duck Sauce at the counter during my visit. By the time I bit the egg roll (beef) and was looking for a complementary sauce, I was not in any mood to get back up and ask for Duck Sauce. They probably don't have it. Either way, I tried both Soy-saucing and S&S saucing the egg-roll, and wasn't too pleased with either. I finished the last few bites naked, if you will.

If you're a fan of traditional Chinese fare, or just looking to rock out with your cock out for a while, Daily Combination A is your answer.
