Like many of you I grew up going to Crossgates Mall. A typical teenager in the 90s my friends and I spent a lot of time at the various stores and of course at the food court. While a lot has changed since I was a kid there are only a few places in that Crossgates food court that are unchanged. Taco Bell, Sabarro, Wendy's, and the two Chinese restaurants.

While the Chinese restaurants may have changed names, they're in the same spots and serving up the same delicious food that they've always been. I always preferred the Cajun Cafe Grill (which is now called Shanghai Wok) over what is now China Max. Yes, the food is similar, but we all have to choose a side. One thing that both of these restaurants do is give you free samples of their food in order to get you to eat at their place.

Everyone has taken a sample of that sesame chicken ( I assume that's what it is) and walked away. It has to be heartbreaking to see that. How many of you have taken a sample and then gone back for more? On a busy day they may not remember that you had already had one. That's what one genius streamer has demonstrated.

Datboyyali has cracked the code and unfortunately leaked the secret formula as to how to get unlimited amounts of Chinese food while hanging out at the mall. He calls is the Infinite Chinese Food Glitch.

I have to say, I feel like this tactic could work for you every once in a while, but those employees will catch on pretty quick. I'll also add that those Chinese food places in the mall also have the best deal when it comes to both quantity and quality of their food.

Next time you're feeling a bit peckish why not try this out. However, I do suggest you support those local restaurants, too. There's a reason why they've been there for so long.
