Oriental Jades

Now typically when you think of a diet busting diner you think of the grease hole next door or the Italian restaurant that has all those great pastas but when it comes to me, all I need to get me off my diet is to run over to my favorite Chinese restaurant -- Oriental Jades.

The lady there makes this sesame chicken that I could eat all day and although it is good white meat, the chicken is fried and you should see what she puts in her sauce.

If that wasn't enough to get you off the diet then her home made cheese wontons will do the trick. They are perfectly spiced with a good quality cream cheese and they are literally to die for.

The best part is that at the end she always gives away these great sugar cookies.

The portions are huge, a dinner plate is about a three person meal, and then of course there is the buffet at lunch time which she keeps very well stocked.

I have had friends who have had to drag me out of that place to get me to stop eating.

So when I am on a diet I do all I can to stay away from there or it is the end of that particular stint!
