I ended up here for the UYE organized by Jen K for the lobster 4 ways (or many ways as it was more than 4 all said and done)
I visited Omei after a loooooong time.
In a word Wow!
We met up for this UYE at another UYE (this is Yelp after all where one UYE leads to another)
Lobster was the main event here and we ordered 2! And boy these were giants and I mean almost 8 lbs each. They were brought on to our table an impressive sight to behold (though it did unnerve some fellow Yelpers)
1st course was steamed with scallions and garlic. A somewhat purist approach to Lobster as you get enjoy the succulent meat in its pure form.
2nd course was Lobster with Maggi Sauce. Pan fried well with onions. A nice sweet finish that went well with the main attraction.
3rd course was fried lobster legs. The batter was nice and topped with a spice that brought bit of heat to the course.
4th course was lobster innards with rice. A gourmet dish that I enjoyed.
5th course was a steamed egg with lobster meat (I haven't had this dish before) reminded me of Chawanmushi. The lobster taste was less pronounced in this course.
We added a couple of dishes just to balance things out. A veggie course with clear sauce (mushrooms and bok choy)
Oyster with honey glaze and hot peppers.
And believe it or not a chicken dish as well.
The feast ended with a medley of desserts (2 kind of soups and 3 dessert offerings)
IMO this is a lobster luver paradise as it exposes you the various form of cooking method for this delicate ingredient.
The piece de resistance was the show/karaoke/ rap performance by the president himself Ringo! If you are here it is a delight for him to do the presentations for each course.
Definitely a place to bring to impress people.
4 Star for the food at this Place
5 stars for the UYE
