Eight of us gathered tonight for another "feast". We had Karen & Stan Wong with us tonight. This was the first time that they had attended one of these dinners. They live in Santa Monica so it was a way for them to drive to Westminister.
Henry ordered some standards and a couple of new items.
We started out with a fried fish (I think it was catfish). Tasty. Next came the roasted duck 2 ways. First the Peking with the soft white buns (no crepes here) then the shredded duck mixed with a variety of items and served in lettuce cups.
Spicy green beans with shrimp and beef tendon came to the table, Stan & Bob had never had beef tendon before. Its not for everyone but those at the table tonight all enjoyed it.
The tofu dish tonight was "fried tofu" with a seafood sauce. Great dish. Next a plate of greens showed up. Henry said they were the snow pea shoots and leaves. This was a dish that was more expensive than the regular "greens" Stan, always the "lets compare" person had Henry order the other greens. We all decided we liked the "snow pea shoots" best. .
Dessert was fresh cantaloupe, cherries, white peaches, red bean tapioca and sesame seed buns.
