I don't speak Chinese... do you? I don't know if it's plum sauce. They
throw in these little packets of stuff and tiny covered souffle cups of a
red sauce in and say "Fank You" which, for all I know, could be "F*** You".
Then they send me on my merry way I do get plenty of rice with whatever
I order.
