Occasion: Early birthday dinner with the family. 03.06.12
Nothing beats Chinese food for my parents so of course, we have Chinese food to celebrate. Something simple.
Squab made with soy sauce
My parents aren't big on meat and instead love their birds. We usually order roasted squab, but this time in addition to our roasted squab, we decided to get the soy sauce one as well. The meat is definitely not as dry and juicier, but the skin was soft and not crispy, which is how I like it. I mean it wasn't bad, but I just prefer the roasted squab more.
Snow pea shoots sauteed with garlic
Usually our choice of vegetable. I love the crunchy hollow stems. Yum.
Fish
What's a Chinese dinner without fish. I'm not exactly sure what type of fish this is, but my dad bought it from a Chinese supermarket/ fish store in Chinatown and brought it to the restaurant to have them make it. They do charge an extra fee for preparation, but it's totally worth it. Soft meat, with a soy sauce and scallion garnished.
Chinese chicken salad
It was way too salty, but good try.
Chinese soup
Roasted squab
I like it roasted better than the soy sauce. Next time, we'll only stick with roasted squab. Definitely more flavorful and in my opinion tastier than the soy sauce.
Salt and pepper shrimp
