Oh the Fun

You're probably thinking Fun, like at the State Fair, amusement park, swimming pool, etc. But that's not the kind of Fun I'm talking about. This kind of Fun is found at a restaurant in Columbia Heights called Asia Chow Mein. The dish is really called Chicken Curry Fun, but we just call it Fun. I was first introduced to Fun over a year ago. Some coworkers would talk about getting Fun for lunch, but I never joined in. One day I was convinced to go with them.

There's a reason Fun is so good, but we have a difficult time expressing the specifics. With each bite, you know you want to have more...even though you are full. When a group of 13 goes to lunch and 10 of them get Fun, you know it's got to be a good dish.

So what's in Fun? Well, Fun noodles (similar to fettuccine noodles), chicken, green peppers, onion, curry, and spices. There might be some other ingredients, but they all blend together. There's usually a few orders of hot hot (along with extra peppers available at the table which has recently been dubbed the 'bucket of pain') and the rest are medium. Even I get medium and I'm a wimpy spicy eater.

I've only ever had one other thing (Beef Chow Fun) which was nothing like Chicken Curry Fun other than using the same noodles, so I can't speak to their other dishes.

Here's where to find them since I know you're going to want to try Fun.
