TOD:
I could rave about various dishes of the Chinese food persuasion, but my favorite of all time was called "Shan Dong Chicken". It was a Szechuan chicken prepared as the house special of the Shan Dong Restaurant in downtown Oakland's Chinatown district.
SO GOOD!
Their chicken and green beans over rice was great, too. I had a variety of things there, family style, with co-workers, but my favorite was still the Shan Dong chicken. Also, they had fried green beans! Just terrific.
I love good Dim Sum, too, and Oakland had one I loved. It closed years before I moved, but I have fond memories of it. In fact, I took Rodzinski there for lunch when he was visiting the Bay Area. I loved sticky rice and all the wonderful dumplings and things that were brought around on trays.
I haven't been to many Japanese restaurants, but when I went, I always looked for poo-poo platters. I don't know if that's how it's spelled, but they brought a grill to your table and had things you could cook while you are things that were already cooked. I also loved a dish that had piles of fried shrimp and noodles and other delights.
