Located just a coconut's throw from Marina's store in San Pedro, Belize, Sunny's is true Chinese take-out, Belizean style! It doesn't look like much from the outside, (although it has just ondergone a colorful facelift!) but to a thrifty traveler, or broke local, it is heaven packaged in a earth-unfriendly, overstuffed styrofoam container.
The chow mein rocks, and Belizean chow mein is different than any other in the world. If you aren't afraid of a little lard, the fried chicken is complete greasy goodness. While you wait, you can either watch the owner's prepare your food, or have your hand at a couple of "vintage" slots. And like any other chinese resturaunt in Belize, you can stock up on your cigerettes, chocolate and condoms all in one stop!
This place is hopping with locals around lunchtime. Just like when you walk into a resturaunt full of senior citizens, you know its a winner, same with local cuisine. I don't know, maybe its the copious amounts of MSG they add to the food that keeps us comin back, but Sunny's scores with consistency and value. Don't be afraid to try these little dives while traveling, you may miss something tasty...but don't expect a fortune cookie.
