Sun Wah BBQ

I learned this Chinese New Year what happen's when one is racist. I refused to take the advice of a white foodie for Chinese New Year dinner recommendations. A white foodie who I should have known to trust, as I had tasted his cooking before and known it to be very good.

Sun Wah was where he recommended that I go, and Sun Wah is where I should have gone. Instead, we went to a place that I won't deign to mention in these pages. Let's just say that that Chinese New Year dinner did not end with much satisfied patting of a full belly that one expects after this holiday.

Luckily, my friend has a generous heart and allowed me to join in on a subsequent dinner gathering at Sun Wah, where I had Chinese New Year Dinner #2 and all was redeemed. Hail Mary! And the Peking Duck was great. Just thinking about it makes me wish I were seated at the table again, chopsticks ready to dive in, quick like a heron seizing its prey.
