Restaurants -3-

My new girlfriend took me to a (')Chinese restaurant in her neighborhood the other night. [ It(.) (')was pretty good ]. First we had some egg rolls. They were the(') (')best(...) [I had] ever tasted. Then(...) we ordered the (')beef and (')pepper(') stir-fry. It(.) [(')came in a(...)] very (')interesting sauce—spicy, but not too spicy. We also [ ordered the steamed ] vegetables, but they were awful. They were really too soft. The dessert was a big bowl of fresh fruit. [ Some of the fruit ] [ I had ] never seen. It was fantastic—and so was my date!
