I assume this was for 2, based on @NYCtoLA’s post?

No, this was for one. Note the one half of an egg in the lu rou fan as opposed to the two halves @NYCtoLA got :stuck_out_tongue:

Aw man, I expected your background TV viewing selection to be a re-run episode “Green Hornet” for this meal…

Was Sergio in da house when you picked up the food?

That actually seems like a pretty decent amount of food. And this place is literally a 3-min drive way, so perhaps when I’m feel like something special for dinner in the near future… :slight_smile:

Figures.
Their food (for me) has always been more 'gramable than edible.

The toppings were excellent, I thought the rice was a bit firm.

Hi @PorkyBelly,

Nice report. Looks delicious. :slight_smile: Did you feel this Kato takeout / tasting menu was sufficient food, or did you have to have a 2nd dinner like previous visits? Thanks.
