After years of Elite events and experiences, this one is definitely one of the best.
These intimate dinner series are fantastic ways to get to know your fellow Elites (and force them to sit and conversate). No more of the lingering and minor mingling.
Oh, and not to be outdone, but the food was incredible.
Dish after dish were being rolled out to the point where they had to roll me out afterwards.
Notable favorites included the Dongpo Pork, which is a rich braised pork belly in a soy glaze. The sweetness of the meat is compounded by the velvety smooth texture of the skin and fat. The sauce is great and doesn't cloud the taste of the meat. The BBQ pork was tender and wonderfully seasoned. The seasoning was light and that is all you need for meat. Just the basics.
Other dishes included Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wings, Braised Beef, Deep Fried Sea Bass, and Crispy Chicken. Everything was fantastic and portions were massive. I went the first night and I can see how surprised Kris was with how much there was to eat. We even had leftovers afterwards as well.
Overall fantastic night. Conversations were good and meeting old and new Yelpers is always a pleasure. The family style dinner (lazy susan and all) is the ideal way to experience the best of Yelp. And to have this over 2 different days is a great way to get more involved to try this type of event out.
Definitely the best way to feel Elite. Thank you so much Kris and Green Tea Restaurant
