Show AUGUST 29 WEDNESDAY, 8- ?n - DIXIE SUN Top F 4s Best local Chinese food revealed more tnahiickmore you get an additional dish, but this cuts into your portion of the other entrees. The best value here is the plate. The orange chicken is why people come here; it is the best, said Burma native Kaung Swar, the assistant manager at the 1091 N. Bluff St. location. If you are looking for fast, Americanized Chinese food, this is your best bet. However, there are many other options in town such as Ahis Taste of Asia, formally known as Gimme Sum, at 157 E. Riverside Drive. Here you will find a more authentic feel with statues and pictures. You will definitely want to try the different sauces available, especially the peanut sauce. Ahis is the perfect place for fresh, two-entre- Mandarin Buffet, 350 East St. George Blvd houses a large selection of sushi along with other Asian cuisine. and here are the results.... The first stop on my Chinese food tour took me to the popular Panda offerings of them in St. George. With a variety of options for Chinese food one might wonder which place is best, cheapest, or even if there is a difference between them. Here I examined five of our options here in St. George, BY LAYNE ROBERTS Dixie Sun Staff Writer Kung Pao, General Tsos Chicken and chow mein are some of the most popular Chinese food choices, but the real question is where to find the best e food, as nothing is deep fried or pre cooked. Another perk to Ahis is the ability to add to or subtract from the dish you order, with various vegetables cooked-as-you-ord- Express. Here I found the general selection of Chinese food for a surprisingly good price. Dont be fooled by the three-entre- e plate, though. For a little for example. We offer the most authentic sauces, to the likeness I was raised on, this is very close, Filipino owner Mike Villamor said. This does come at a price, though, as it is a little more expensive, but its your best Chinese food option. Normally being really hungry and wanting Chinese food are not a good mix, but at the Mandarin Buffet, 350 E. St. George Blvd., you are able to satisfy both needs. Normally one may in expect a large drop-of- f quality in food at a buffet, but not here. They offer the same traditional dishes, but the best n part here is that you are able to mix and match different meats with vegetables and sauces, and they will cook it right in front of you. This is definitely your best option if your appetite calls for it but does run from depending on the time of day.

Students who plan on having even somewhat of a social life still need chairs for friends to have somewhere to sit when they come, or a refrigerator for leftovers if they dont cook, and a microwave, especially if they dont cook. Since shopping is such a pain because of money, the question is where around St. George do students find all the furnishings they need and still have money for food and textbooks? Target seems to be a good place to find cheap furniture that is small enough for a students dorm or apartment. Our most popular sale is seating, Senior Team Leader Veronica Ottley said. Its not regular seating you would find at your moms house, its unique seating that you would only find in dorm rooms. Target mostly has accessories, like lamps, tables and chairs in fun colors to make dorm rooms unique, Ottley said. My personal favorite is the bedding because of the bright and bold colors, Ottley said. back-to-scho- 2. Fine Wal-Mais another place in town to find school supplies and fur:, ture.
