China Dragon

With the fast approaching finals exam, we need a form of late night sustenance other than the usual pizza. China Dragon is the answer! They have a large range of proteins and carbohydrates that come in a great range of flavors, so great that you'll have a problem deciding what you want to eat. They have an extensive menu on this website.

China Dragon is conveniently located in Purdue Village, right behind McCutcheon.

I have had China Dragon several times when I stay up late to study. I do this because I think stir-fried shrimp with vegetables has more nutrition than pizza, also because I am sick of eating pizza and because it is more cost effective.

China Dragon's foods range from US$4-12, rice included. Which is the same price as a large pizza but more satisfying and filling.

Also, when you're drunk and craving salt and oil, Egg Foo Yoong will be the ideal dish. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with soft pieces of meat and sweet onions in every bite. The Egg Foo Yoong also comes with a special sauce that when eaten with the rice really brings out and ties the dish together.

When I sleep over at my boyfriend's place, I also enjoy their Spicy Chicken which is, as the name suggests, sweet and a little spicy. I like eating the small bits of Spicy Chicken as it has more of a crunch to it. Most of the dishes I've tried there are decent and value for your money, but the above mentioned few are the top favorties.

However, I advice you against ordering both the Egg Drop soup and the Hot and Spicy Soup, they are severely lacking in taste and uses a lot of food coloring.
The House soup is quite satisfying though with chicken, beef, pork, leek, carrots and many other vegetables.

Also, if you're looking for a convenient Sunday dinner when all the dining halls are closed, they also serve buffets then. There will be 2 kinds of rice dishes, beef noodles, 2 kinds of chicken dish, a seafood dish, 2 beef dish and an assortment of other side dishes with a minimalist dessert bar. It costs US$10 to eat at the buffet, which is quite a reasonable deal as the average cost of a dish is also US$10. You will also get a free flow of soft drinks.




They usually open till 3am and provide delivery service if you are lazy.
