| Pork stomach soup w gingko nuts - 3 J's comment > Bamboo Grove's signature dish! Looks creamy, but it's actually very 'clean' on the palate; slight hints of pepper and ginger that gives the soup the slightest nudge it needs; not stinky in the least like the Fatty Cow Hot Pot pork stomach soup base; FYI, this isn't on the menu and I think you have to pre-order this soup in advance |
 |
| Remnants of the ingredients used to make the soup J's comment > the meat was still very tender and not all dried up |
 |
| Deep fried black cod w soy sauce - 3 J's comment > OMG... the crisp on this fish! I usually avoid the fish skin, but w the crunch on this fish, you'd totally be missing out if you don't try it; fish was so juicy despite being deep fried (though it is black cod, so it's quite forgiving); not too salty either, despite the soy sauce underneath; another item that isn't on the menu, but you don't have to pre-order this |

| Pan fried rack of lamb - 2 J's comment > not bad; very tender, but not nearly as spectacular as the other two dishes above; also not on the menu, and you can order as many pieces (yes, even ONE!) |
 |
| Pea tips in supreme broth - 2 J's comment > not bad; very tender pea tips, not stringy or 'old' |
 |
| #101 Pineapple sweet & sour boneless pork - 2 J's comment > not bad; sweet and sour flavor a good balance, pork slightly hard though, pieces could be chopped up to smaller bite size portions |
 |
| Sliced beef in hot casserole pot - 2 J's comment > beef was good, but dish was nothing extraordinary |
 |
| Seafood chow mein - 2 J's comment > seafood was good, but it was obvious the seafood in this dish was of the frozen / defrosted caliber; noodles also good |
 |
| Complimentary coconut pudding - 2 J's comment > the chilled dessert option; coconut jelly w traces of coconut flavor |
 |
| Complimentary red bean soup - 2 J's comment > loved the flavor of the soup, but not enough red beans |

Wow... I have never been served so fast at a Chinese restaurant in my life. Chinese restaurants always serve really quickly to get you out of there ASAP, but today we got ALL our dishes one after the other in quick succession within 15 mins of placing our order.
