Business Luncheon at the USP

The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) had their annual three-day business conference with delegates from the Chinese branch of USP earlier this week. We catered lunch for three days and honored all dietary requests (halal, vegetarian, seafood allergy.) The menu was designed to suit typical Chinese tastebuds, while introducing some classic American Chinese dishes. Delegates were also thrilled with the fortune cookies, as it is still a novelty item in China! Our crew enjoyed serving this wonderful group of people and look forward to next year's conference!

Dish Of The Month - Dragon & Phoenix Imperial Platter

Dragon & Phoenix Imperial Platter: A limited summer special

What's this Dragon & Phoenix Imperial Platter? It's a magnificent dish which includes: freshly steamed Maine lobster; crispy Jazz chicken in a spicy-sweet, bourbon-infused sauce; and wild-caught jumbo shrimp sautéed with mixed veggies. $45, perfect for sharing. Enjoy.

Dish of the Month - Tofu Roll with Pork and Shrimp

Ground pork combined with minced shrimp rolled in a thin tofu wrap. A small amount of carrots added to the mix for an extra crunch. Garnished with a savory sweet brown sauce and chopped scallions. If you've never had dim sum before and want a sample, this is a very commonly found item served out of carts at any good dim sum restaurant.
