CK loves Chinese food. When he comes home to visit, we're sure to go out for some. I called my mom and the three of us went to my mom's favourite west end Chinese restaurant, Rideau Restaurant.
Every time we have come to eat here, this restaurant is packed. Not only are their tables filled, but there is a huge line up for take away, and their phone is ringing off the hook. If you live in the west end like me, this is a great place to go if you are too lazy to drive to china town for good Chinese food.
We started with the moo soo (also spelt moo shu) chicken served with a sweet hoisin sauce, and six moo shu pancakes. I love ordering this because it is so fun to eat
You place some filling and sauce on a pancake, wrap it up, and enjoy. The flavours go really well together. The filling served here was a combination of cabbage, green onion, chicken, carrots, and cloud ear fungus.
Our next dish was beef with chinese broccoli. This is a pretty standard chinese dish, but for some reason, it is not offered on their English menu. This is Beebs' favourite dish. Too bad she wasn't able to make it.
Our next dish was also something not offered on their English menu: salt and pepper sole. This is my mom's favourite dish at this restaurant, and we order it every time we eat here. The sole is deep fried, and then seasoned with salt, pepper, and chilis. It is served over a bed of stir fried broccoli.
Our meal, of course, was served with chinese tea and white rice.
We finished our meal with red bean soup. The red bean soup here is good but not the best I have had. There is not as much bean as I would like. I think they also add coconut milk to it.
