Okay, this has got to stop! I'll be pounding on the door of some poor Chinese restaurant in Minneapolis, demanding all these dishes. If they make at least the warm tofu with ginger syrup, I might be appeased.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a feast...again! Black sesame soup is one of my favorite desserts. I am going to make some soon - probably this weekend. I bought the sesame seeds and just waiting for time to soak & grind everything. Will try this restaurant for dinner soon. I've done dim sum a few times there and it's also very good. I've so many great things about it.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering how much the set dinner set you back and do you have to make reservation and order ahead?
ReplyDeleteLuckily for me I did not have to pay for this meal. I think it was about C$200. You would have to order this meal in advance but they have great set meal specials that you can order once you get there. This restaurant is always busy. It's best to make a reservation otherwise you may have to wait at least an hour.
ReplyDeleteWe had my Grandma's 90th birthday party here. Our bill for three tables was about $1000 and as soon as dessert came, they were pushing us out the door because they had reservation on the tables for after us.
ReplyDeleteWe had red bean dessert and almond paste but our table still had 1/4 of a bowl of red bean left with three people still wanting more of it when the waitress threw an empty pop can into the bowl and took it away.
We also have an 11th month old baby and were trying to get her into her snowsuit beside the table when they were sitting the next party down.
The story about your poor experience is unfortunate, but $1000 for 3 large banquet tables is not much to expect superb service. This restaurant is known for value (not service) and needs to make money afterall.
