Even cold from the fridge, the chicken was awesome. With visions of garlic chicken in our heads, we rolled into Win's this week only to get taken on a tour of Chinese cooking traditions instead. Through Sunday, most Chinese restaurants are featuring New Year's menus to ring in the year of the Dragon. Many of these dishes are absolutely delicious. Just ask about the hand-written specials on the wall and let your culinary tour begin.
Food comes from the kitchen promptly and gets to the table piping hot.
It was thanks to Mrs. Chu that we wound up ordering from the New Year's menu. Once she knew we were interested in ordering off the regular menu, she took the time to give us explanations of how the names of the dishes are pronounced in Chinese. Mr. Chu came by a number of times to see what we thought of the food and to share the deeper meanings behind the dishes' presentation. Finding out the crab and broccoli came arranged to reflect a blooming flower full of health and beauty added to the enjoyment of the tasty platter. This info fuelled a lively discussion about the deeper meaning behind heaping bowls of Kraft Dinner and other western delicacies.
