| Crispy rice w mixed seafood - 3 J's comment > very crisp rice, perfectly deep fried so that each granule of rice peels off on its own w just the slightest nudge; soup was OK, but went very well w the crispy rice |

| Xiao long bao: Steamed buns w pork and soup - 3 J's comment > fav XLB of YVR! the perfect amt of meat and broth in a durable wrapper |
 |

 |
| Tofu & vegetable soup - 2 J's comment > avg soup, lots of tofu and veggies; cilantro not too strong thankfully |
 |
| Braised fish in black vinegar sauce - 2 J's comment > fish OK, slightly overcooked, definitely not swimming-out-of-the-tank fresh though; black vinegar sauce not as strong as expected |
 |
| Hangzhou beggar chicken - 2 J's comment > a lot of chicken visually, but didn't taste much of it; flavors were more of the lotus leaf and other ingredients than actual chicken; FYI, you need to pre-order this item |
 |
| The chicken pre-breaking of the bread shell. It was HUGE! Check out the size compared to the teapot. |
 |
| And after breaking open the shell, a more reasonable size of the lotus leaf wrapped chicken |

| Spare rib w wuxi style sauce - 2 J's comment > not your avg 'sweet & sour' pork, but nonetheless this was exactly that; spare ribs decent, not too dry, could have used more meat, but passable |
 |
