So today Providence got hit with the first major snow storm of the season. We have about 7 or 8 inches of snow right now and it’s still coming down pretty hard. Earlier this afternoon when I was driving home the 1.5 miles from work (I drive because the bus would add an extra 30 min to my commute), the city was at a standstill. It took me two and a half (2.5) hours to get home. The major roads throughout the city couldn’t be plowed because of all the cars, including the highways.
Once I got home, we picked up Susan’s car from the shop down the street and got that into our little lot and then decided to get dinner. We went to MuMu, the best Chinese restaurant in the area. We ordered the drunken chicken, xiao long bao, Singapore noodle dish, and the pork fried rice. We also decided to get a medium scorpion bowl (32 oz.). The food was excellent. I was very impressed by the Singapore noodle dish. The drunken chicken was different (cold, still on the bone with skin), but very good. I had never had a scorpion bowl before, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was strong to say the least. Anyway, if you like Chinese food and live in the Providence area, you MUST try MuMu. It really is the best in the area (not just the city). It’s also very authentic. I give them two very enthusiastic thumbs up for the service and being open tonight (after trying to get pizza at Sicilia’s and Bob and Timmy’s who were both closed).
