Western Lake Seafood Restaurant

Western Lake used to be our favourite dimsum place.  Unfortunately they became so popular that even if you make a reservation, you would still have to wait almost an hour for a table.  Their prices have also gone up making it difficult to make it our go-to restaurant.  But the food remains exceptional, so we come here on special occasions like birthdays.

Most Chinese dinners start with a soup and for Rice Bowl's birthday we chose a crab and fish maw soup.  Its our favourite.  It has crab meat, fish stomach and egg whites.  Umm Yumm.

We ordered a couple of other dishes that have become our favourites over the years.  The food came pretty fast and the service was very good.  They refilled our tea when we tilted the teapot lid and cleared away empty dishes as soon as we were done.  After packing up our leftovers, they brought out desert of red bean soup.  Yumyum.

Porkchop with Champagne Sauce

Walnut Shrimp: Deep friend shrimp with a creamy mayo sauce with honey glazed sesame walnuts

Beef and Gailan

Coconut Taro Chicken

The food came pretty fast and the service was very good.  The food arrived steaming hot which made my mouth water.  They refilled our tea when we tilted the teapot lid and cleared away empty dishes as soon as we were done. After packing up our leftovers, they brought out desert of red bean soup. 

Western Lake rarely disappoints in terms of tasty dishes.

Yumyum.
