It's Tet (Chinese New Year) tomorrow and even though I've been studying for this annoying thing non-stop, I really wanted to go out and have a nice Chinese dinner since I couldn't go home and fill my gut with homemade Vietnamese food. So I invited A out to join me at China Garden and we gorged (okay, mostly just me who did the gorging).
We started out with some cocktails - A had the Tropical Punch adn I had a Cherry Blossom.
This is Crispy Chicken Spicy Orange (I might not be right on the exact name because there were a lot words to it).
This is the House Special Spare Ribs - ohmygosh they were so tasty!
House Special Fried Rice, which had shrimp, bbq pork and chicken in it. A really liked the fried rice, even though I had to pick out all the shrimp for her.
And I ordered a Lobster Ginger Scallion to eat all by my lonesome (A does not eat seafood).
Here's the entire spread:
Before we ordered, I told A that I was going to eat the entire lobster by myself. I don't think she believed me, but we sat there and I ate the whole lobster like I said I would. She was quite in disbelief. I guess she does not yet realize the love I have for lobster and crab. Below, my plate of lobster carcass:
Upon giving us the bill, the restaurant gave us some sweet red bean dessert on the house. It doesn't look too appetizing here in the picture, but it was a nice ending to a very good meal.
I am so full now that I can slip into a food coma.
