After defending
Wizard City from the machinations of Malistaire, then putting to rest the mummies of
Krokotopia, and defeating the legions of cat burglars in
Marleybone, a young wizard just might find themselves hankering for rest and relaxation in the tranquil meadows of
Moo Shu. And there can't be R&R without plenty of tasty asian-style food. That is, after all, the represented culture in Moo Shu.
This noodle dish is the worthy of the Great Moodha herself. It's got a lot of spices and flavors and textures going on to tickle your tastebuds and please your palette. They also make for great leftovers! Easily reheated or wrapped up with some cheese in a tortilla.
