Flavours of the Orient

My blogging is falling way behind!  Sorry!  This past weekend we had the "Flavours of the Orient" evening at the local Lyric Theatre.  It was a great night.  Unfortunately I had precious little time to take pictures.

I made 140 napkins folded into kimonos!  Starched and ironed them all!  They were in black and we laid a nicely monogrammed set of chopsticks over each like a samurai sword.

We had a wonderful 7 course Chinese meal.  It was a special meal, like you would expect at a wedding or special occasion.  It was fantastic.  This was the menu....

Deep Fried Crab Claw with Shrimp Mousse

Honey Glazed Barbequed Pork

Grand Peking Duck

Wok seared Filet of Basa in Szechuan Sauce, stuffed with shrimp, onion and peppers, cooked in sesame oil

Hunan Beef tossed with Julienned Vegetables topped with Nuts

Shanghai Lo-Mein with Spiced Meat Sauce Topping

Fresh Mango Ice Cream


We had classical piano music, sitar and some very nice 70's rock and roll.
