| - Best Cantonese food in the area.
The owner of Silver Dragon retired, but this new owner was a friend of his and took over the business under the rebranded name "New Silver Dragon". The stock menu doesn't have much different from standard American-Chinese food, but they have a "special menu" (uploaded) and can customize a fair bit if you have a specific request. On my first time, I got:
1. Niu nan bao: this is similar to their Special Menu "Beef Stew Noodle Soup", except I got it on a bed of bok choy instead of noodle. Chewy, tender and flavorful chunks of beef & tendon.
2. Cantonese chow mein: this is actually on their stock menu, an assortment of meat & vegetable on a bed of crispy fried yellow noodles. In Mandarin, we call this liang mian huang. The BBQ pork is nice and tender, and the noodles as crispy as they're supposed to be (the part in the sauce always gets soft, which is normal).
3. Green beans with garlic sauce: probably similar to the stock menu's Green Bean with Black Bean Sauce. Beans had the appropriate amount of crunch, sauce was savory without being overpowering.
Next time, I'm going to get the Walnut Shrimp and maybe their Duck fried rice. I'd love to get some of the fish options from the old Silver Dragon, like Salt & Pepper Fish or Fish Hot Pot. They said they might start offering those if there's enough interest, so please ask for me!
