Sun Siu Wah Seafood Restaurant
I like the Cannery, but often the entrée looks like a giant hubcap plate with a hockey puck entrée in the middle, so I am going to name Sun Siu Wah Seafood Restaurant as my favourite seafood restaurant.
My favourites:
-Scalloped lobsters, makes you want to lick the shells, sort of like licking a TOE.
-Scallops themselves. Unfortunately they always seem to drown the scallops with the gai-line greens, the same way round-eye restaurants like DENNY's can drown your entrée with French Fries.
-Steamed rock cod, Chinese restaurants should pick out the bones like at the Cannery!
-Abalone, nice and smooth, not gushy like oysters; ironically it often IS served in oyster sauce, and XO brandy.
A house specialty dish, which isn’t seafood at all, is the pigeon, it tastes like a smoother younger duck, and less fattening than quail.
Over-rated dishes list:
Alaskan King Crab, don’t like those thorny claws, and shredded miniscule meat, even less meat than regular crab.
Shark’s Fin soup, where’s the shark!? Shark bits are the size of a toothpick.
Peking duck, should be renamed Peking skin! Or Peking fat!
Flat bottom fish, always feel dirty, and taste dirty, and those damn bones!
The Sun-Siu Wah prices are actually modest by round-eye standards. That is because local Chinese restaurants do not have cats, dogs and racoons on the menu, not to mention phoenix and dragon dishes.
Go to the Richmond location instead of the Main Street location, less robberies.
I noticed that there is a Morton’s of Chicago buried in the back of the Federal building of Sinclair Centre. Haven’t gone it yet.
