Hong Fu - Orlando

I found myself hungry and waiting for a late appointment. I was sitting in my car directly in front of Hong Fu. I did a quick search and read some reviews as you are now doing. Many reviews said it was NYC style Chinese food. Having lived in NYC, I generally knew what that meant stuff Chinese feed Americans that Chinese people wouldn 't touch with a ten foot pole. My Pavlovian conditioning kicked in right on cue, I began salivating So, I went for it. To commemorate my dad 's favorite dish, I had the Sweet Sour Chicken. I shouldn 't tell you that my dad and I were estranged. (Side note: I 've had Sweet Sour Chicken hundreds of times. I 've never once tasted anything sour gastric reflux notwithstanding. Yes! Hong Fu is NYC style Chinese food. Additionally, Hong Fu has NYC style decor in their dining room. Boxes of supplies stacked against the wall. Pandemic plexiglass with a pass through and the vestigial no touch pass through box off to the side. Faded photos of menu items hugged the wall and ceiling. Walls that have never seen soap and water, let alone fresh paint. A refrigerator filled with soft drinks pumping out a thousand BTUs into the dining room. I wouldn 't want to be the guy who opens up in the morning and turns on the lights. But there I sat literal exhibit A of classical conditioning. My shoulders hunched over a Styrofoam plate, head slunk low over a pile of batter encrusted, deep fried chicken smothered in plum sauce the Chinese equivalent of maple syrup gleefully gulping down my food. Even so. Will I return? Definitely! Hey! 16 million New Yorkers can 't be wrong. Well, you know what I mean. Side note: Hóngfú; literally means 'Red Sleeves ' and is the name of a legendary Chinese folk heroine from imperial China whose birth name was Zhang Chuchen. It makes me happy thinking she loved Sweet Sour Chicken covered in plum sauce, which on occasion made it to her imperial robe. Parking: The restaurant sits on the same property as a plaza, which has a large parking lot.
