Tee hee, this thread has gotten silly.
No, I didn't support mom-in-law's decision to get chicken with fruit, but I almost never understand what she's thinking anyway. And it seemed a shame to have it go to waste...I really, really hate throwing out meat. An animal died for this, after all.
Joy Yee IS pan-Asian...though I suppose it would be more accurate to call it pan-Oriental, since they don't have any Indian, Kazakhstani, or Iranian food. But "Oriental" is a naughty word these days, so everyone just says "Asian". I've always thought it equally rude to lump all of Asia together as if it were just one homogenous mass.
And for what it's worth, each dish I've had at Joy Yee's seems more akin to what I've had in its respective country than the generic "Chinese" or "Vietnamese" food I have seen elsewhere.
And yeah, The Oatmeal rocks.
