Note to self – never eat Asian cuisine at a not-so-Asian food venue. It just won’t taste the same.

            Jump Asian Express, next to Tim Horton’s in the Student Union, is proof of that fact. 

            Something is not right with the spices in the food. The General Tso’s chicken has an odd taste and texture to the point that it seems inedible.

            The rice is decent – where could anyone go wrong with white rice?  But the problem lies in the type of rice used. It certainly isn’t the fine-grained rice one would expect at an Asian restaurant; it seems more like instant rice.

            And who’s to say whether or not the food is fresh? How long does the food sit out on those warmers before it’s served to the next student in line?

            It might be asking a little much to expect genuine Asian cuisine on a university campus, but please, Jump Asian – try to be more on the mark.

            When students are craving Asian food, it’s a letdown when the food on the plate is, well, not even close.
