Luck Wa or Mygen Inc.

I was out to dinner with my friend Ginny a few weeks back, and we reminisced about an old Chinese food restaurant that was well known in our area.  It was called Hoy Hing.  This place was the ultimate late night food destination.  They were open late, their food was cheap and greasy, and they would always take your order even if it really was pushing it after closing time.  They would just take you into the side hallway of the kitchen and have you wait while your food was made in front of you.  

Thinking back, I'm not sure what was worse, having to eagerly wait while you're tempted with all the delicious smells and orders flying out to other customers, or the morning after when you realized what you'd eaten by looking at all the half empty containers strewn about your apartment like a Chinese food zombie apocalypse. Either way you feel like Carl after the pudding.  Yikes.

HOY HING LIVES

  

Anyway, the point of this story is that I actually still have their phone number in my contacts list!  I pulled it up and couldn't believe it still existed.  Ginny was amazed too, and couldn't help but laugh because her late night Chinese food place didn't even have a number!  Her go-to NOMS was from Lucky Wa, who for some reason wasn't listed in 411.  (Yes, this was back when we didn't 'google' something, we called information at 411)  She would call 411, and ask for Lucky Wa, only the operator would say the address showed as 'MyGen Incorporated'

Sure enough, when connected she would always be greeted by "Lucky Wa, may I take your order?!"  Curious.  Maybe we should do away with google.  It's more fun that way.
