Tail end of the Chinese New Years celebration and the Seafood Palace in Westminister, www.seafoodpalacerestaurant.com, still was in its finery. Loads of beautiful decorations. Quite busy today for a Monday.
Just 3 of us today for lunch so Henry ordered Lobster. Stir fried with shell on over noodles. It was a really good lobster. Very sweet and meat pulled right off the shell. According to Henry that means the lobster was very fresh I indulged heavy on this dish.
Also had Honey Walnut Shrimp, Pork and Shrimp rolled in Seaweed and deep fried, our complimentary bowl of Sweet, Sour Soup and French Style Beef with Vegetables and fat noodles. The soup was a bit peppery. Mondays always has a different chef. Head Chef gets a couple of days off at the beginning of the week. Aside from a bit too much pepper in the soup the rest of the dishes were perfect.
I brought a 2007 McKeon Phillips, Bailys Private Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon which I had decanted for about 2 hours. It was perfect. Beautiful wine. There also was a 2015 Daou Pessimist which is a blend of Syrah, Petite Syrah, Zinfandel and Tannat and a 2015 Chateau Durand-LaPlagne, Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux.. Yes big red wines can pair well with Chinese food if the food has bold flavors
