The menu and meals with be similar to those we used to have in the Golden City Restaurant (the chef is the same). Vicky Low, who used to suggest our menu in the Golden City, also put the coming event menu together. We agreed on the following dishes:
1. MUSHU “Fungus” and Shredded Pork Wraps
2. Hot and Sour Mushroom and Shrimp Soup
3. Free Range Chicken with Black Truffle
4. “Fat Choy” Black Moss Fungus with Shitake Mushrooms and Broccoli
5. Braised Abalone Mushrooms with Bok Choy
6. Black Pepper Steak with Mushrooms
7. “Sam See” Chow Mein (shredded meat and mushrooms)
8. Mushroom, Pickled Mustard Green and Chicken Fried Rice
The chef is pretty flexible and can accommodate any special requests and food restrictions.
Hope to see you there!
