E and I made it to this smallish Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown shortly before 7pm on Saturday night and the place was already packed.
We stood in line and waited patiently for about 20 minutes. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their food immensely, so I got really excited as I made mental notes of which lobster or shrimp I wanted from the tanks of live seafood at the doorway.
We settled on the sauteed snow pea tips, which were fresh, tender and seasoned perfectly.
Crispy salt and pepper squid was the answer to our craving for fried food. It was very good but also a bit rich, so we were wondering if they used some rendered pork fat to fry this batch.
And my favorite dish: ginger & scallion lobster couldn't have been better! Maybe it's due to the increased price of rice, but we had to ask for steamed jasmine rice (complimentary).
Complimentary dessert: hot tapioca pearls with sweet coconut milk and papaya. A slightly sweet and refreshing ending to a perfect meal. :) This dinner only set us back $44.55 before tip.
