We came here to have dinner for Lynn's birthday! Her birthday is actually 3/28/09 on Saturday, but she'll have to meet with her kids/family on her birthday, therefore, I threw her a small dinner gathering party on Thursday night with 2 of our other friends!One of Lynn's and my friend used to own this place but it was history now. They have dim-sum daily too!

Thursday night was a bit slow for them, we were there from 6pm to almost 8:3-pm, and they had total about 5 tables of customers only!

Our B-Day Lady--Lynn!

Lynn was my boss from our previous job for about a year, we worked in a same company about 3 years ago. She left the company first and I left later. We've became such good friends ever since we met at work. She's like my sister and always look out for me. She's been such good friend and sister.

I asked her if I could reveal her age on here but she said no :)-

If you all know her age, I think you guys would be surprised ^_^.

Crab Meat w/Fish Monk Soup ($6.95)

This is on their special table menu that night! The regular price is $11.00.

You can see big chunk of crab & fish monk fish meats in it.

Tasted even better with red vinegar & white pepper powder.

Peking Duck ($16.99)

They serve this duck in 2 dishes, this is first one came out, they sliced the skin out of the roasted duck and served with chinese steam buns and green onion beneath and shrimp flavor chips with sauce on the side!

Yummy, duck skin is very crispy, not fat or oil at all. the sauce and the green onion add the good flavor in it.

This is the 2nd dish out of that Peking Duck we order. The meat was very tender and juicy, it's not greasy or oily at all. We all liked it a lot!

Snow Pea Leaves w/Garlic ($14.50)

Always have to have veggies on the table, right? Well, Lynn picked this dish and it was so good, it's the only dish we almost finished, we ordered too much food :)-

Seafood and Bean Curd Clay Pot (US$10.75)

This one has big chunk of fish fillets, shrimps, scallops, chinese cabbages, tofu and mushrooms. It was sizzling hot when it came to our table, it was so good. All the seafood weren't over cooked at all and the texture of all ingredients just tastes so light and flavorful.

Sea Clams and Jelly Fish w/Asparagus in XO Sauce ($12.95)

The texture of sea clams and jelly fish were so Q yet not chewy at all. The XO sauce made the dish a hint of spicy and made you wish you had some rice there to go with it! This is the only dish we completely finished!

Live Lobster with Ginger & Scallion with Yee-Fu Noodle ($24.00)

Well, the live lobster was $9.00 per LB, I picked a 3 LBs one and asked them cook with ginger & scallion style, we also added Yee-Fu Noodles, that cost $6.00 extra! What's better than live lobster any way, this dish is so huge, after we finished our dinner, we felt like we haven't touched it yet.

Mango Pudding

Each of us got this mango pudding after meal. This is free of charge from the restaurant. I usually don't' eat desert or sweet but our friend ken said it was so good.

Bonjour French Pastry

Our friend Ken and his wife Hanae brought a cake from Bonjour French Pastry for Lynn's B-Day. This pastry is in Gardena not too far from where we work near Torrance. If you google it, you'll find a lot reviews for this place. It's so famous and good, even NBA star Kobe Bryant & other players and famous people come here all the time.

Black Forest Cake

Creamy and rich chocolate flavor of this cake was so good, even the person doesn't like to eat sweet or desert like me, liked it a lot too.

Ken and his wife Hanae. Ken and I are both in shipping business, we work a lot together. He's also from Taiwan and he's newlyweds about just a year. His wife Hanae is from Japan, very nice and polite lady!

Wish you the very best for your XX birthday. :)-
