NOTES

• The steamed fish was very simple and tasty.
• Dorothy thought the mapo tofu good.  Jenne found it oddly bitter.
• The green beans were quite delicious.
• Sarah M. and Miko were, unsurprisingly, all about the rice crust.  Our obsession with rice knows no bounds.
• We wished the potato dish had been crunchier.
• We approve of the twice-cooked fish!
• The cold noodles were also nice.
• Fu An Garden is on par with Dede’s — it might be a little less oily, in fact.
• Our favorites:
  • Jenne: cold noodles
  • Miko: rice crust
  • Dorothy: mapo tofu
  • Howie: cold noodles
  • Mike: twice-cooked fish
  • Sarah M.: rice crust
  • Summer: cold noodles
• Note: I (Miko) revisited, and the shrimp tasted strongly of dirt.  I’ll probably avoid the shrimp dishes from now on.
