Now, admittedly it was right after Chinese New Year, so I don't know if they just didn't want to bother with that, but we're going there again on Sunday and I'll ask again.Gabriellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-8925129159509012722011-02-18T21:22:44.552-05:002011-02-18T21:22:44.552-05:00@Gabrielle -- Hunan Manor was giving out English v...@Gabrielle -- Hunan Manor was giving out English versions last time I was there.

Want to write three paragraphs about southern Chinese flavors? My email is in the right column, and I'm sure I can figure out a way to post or link to an image of the menu/translation if you want to scan them.HowChowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214893123333124514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-25567591709651375202009-01-18T23:09:00.000-05:002009-01-18T23:09:00.000-05:00Hi, Brent,Yes, I have been to Grace Garden and the...Hi, Brent,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I have been to Grace Garden and the food is quite tasty. My palate, however, is more trained in southern Chinese cooking. So, I can say that the basic taste of the more southern dishes seemed authentic to me. However, overall the dishes were more oily and more expensive than I'm used to. I hear though Szechuan cooking is much oilier than Cantonese and Fuzhou cooking.

South; Cantonese, Beijing, Taiwan, or Szechuan). I recently visited Hunan Legend for the first time and wanted to offer my comments on your fabulous blog. <BR/><BR/>First, I thought the service was quite nice and patient, which is somewhat of a rarity in authentic Chinese Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017633754413607241noreply@blogger.com
