The Best Place to Eat in River Falls
There is a Chinese restaurant near our campus named Song Garden. When I arrived here last semester, my friend Evan told me about this restaurant, and brought me and my other friends to have a meal at Song Garden. It is nice to have food from our own country when we are abroad. The taste was changed a little bit to make the foods closer to American’s flavor, but it is still familiar to us because the way of cooking is totally different from western food. Me and my Chinese classmates always go to Song Garden after class, especially on weekends. During Friday nights and weekends, we have more time to chat when we are having our food. Our favorite dishes are fried eggs and tomatoes and beef lo mein. Fried eggs and tomatoes is partial to salty dishes, and it is suitable to eat with rice. Beef lo mein is a staple food using several types of ingredients fried together. Sometimes we may have some soup. Soup is not served in the restaurant everyday, but the chef will prepare it for us if we call him before we go to have meal in his restaurant. I think Song Garden is the best place to taste Chinese food in River Falls. In my opinion, more students should go there and try Chinese food.
