| A warm glow shines onto the quiet sidewalk from the two corner picture windows of Alice's. Inside, denim-clad servers hustle between the tables filled with local families, couples from the neighborhood and the occasional, but very wise, visitor from another section of the city. The cheery dining room, loaded with blooming orchids, colorful knick-knacks and bamboo plants, is filled with the smell of Hunan and Mandarin cooking. Orange chicken, one of the addictive house specials, infuses wedges of orange rind and whole Chinese peppers into the sweet and tangy sauce that clings to the juicy morsels of chicken. Alice's spicy eggplant is cut into thick slabs, then roasted and combined with chicken or shrimp, a dark, rich sauce and fresh basil. More familiar dishes, like Kung Pao chicken and Mu-Shu pork get their flavor from fresh ingredients and good cooking rather than from a run through a greasy wok. |
