| - Iain is right -- Wahsun has some very creative business hours. I shop at the Sprouts in the same shopping center, so I'd only been shut out when trying to grab a menu. No big deal, but kind of mysterious. I thought I might never get to try the place.
I was starving after watching the inauguration, so I figured I'd combine a grocery trip with a Wahsun lunch special. Fortunately, Wahsun kept the doors open last Tuesday.
I still want to order off the regular menu, but the lunch special was like a practical joke (in a good way). All lunch specials are $4.95. Usual suspects -- Broccoli beef, shrimp w/ lobster sauce, etc. All served with the standard egg flower soup, crab puffs, and white rice.
Here's the thing -- there was a lot of food. A hell of a lot. It didn't come on one plate. It came on three, plus the soup. A full platter of broccoli beef, a vat of rice, and five or six crab puffs. It was hot, fresh, well-seasoned, and cheap. Those are the four food groups, right?
The regular menu features stuff like flounder with yellow chives, roast duck, and clams with black bean sauce. I can't wait to come back with a crowd for dinner, but I'll call ahead to see if they're open.
