Surprisingly, I do more shopping than I do eating, but I seem to write about the eating much more. Hmmm…I’ll have to backtrack and blog about some of the great new products I bought locally last week. I drove out to Canaan to check out a new gallery, but the show wasn’t open yet. (I was a week early.) So on the way home I stopped in Enfield to see how a new restaurant was doing. The Copeland Block building hasn’t had much luck with restaurants – Stecco lasted a year and Season’s didn’t finish their year. Now Kam King, a Chinese restaurant, is open, only using half of the former restaurant space.

The counter and signage looked suspiciously like a restaurant front in a mall – there are numbered pictures of all the food on the wall about the counter for easy ordering. I ordered #21, General Tso’s Chicken. I used the restroom (clean) and my meal was ready. There is some seating available, but I figured I would eat it in the car. (That way, if the food was awful, I wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.) The first thing I noticed was that the styrofoam box was heavy. What could be so heavy? Turns out that the weight was due to a  solid two cups of rice, then another two cups of chicken in sauce. It was a b-i-i-ig portion. But was it good? Sure was – it was fresh and hot. I did my best, but I couldn’t finish my meal. So the next time you’re in Enfield, give Kam Ming a try. They are located on 56 Main Street.
