Weekend Report: Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Family went to "Golden Restaurant" in Barrhaven for dinner.  There were only 5 of us, but we ordered Dinner for 6 B + 2 additional dishes.
We started with Crab Meat Fish Maw Soup.  The crab meat was real.  Not the fake stuff.

Then we got 1/2 Steamed Chicken,

Fried Shrimp with Head on,

Fried Fish.  This dish was really good.  The sauce for the fish was sweet.  I didn't expect this, but it worked well with the fried fish.

Dessert was Red Bean Soup and Tofufa.  Do NOT get the Tofufa.  It was not good.  The texture was not smooth at all and tasted like semi-firm tofu. (Forgot to take a pic, but it wasn't worth a pic anyways.)

Overall, the place is pretty good.  Their dishes are not very greasy, good sized portions, and the service is fast.  They are like Rideau Restaurant with additional dishes.
My biggest complaint is the disappointing Tofufa and the Taro Duck.  I'm pretty sure the taro in the Taro Duck was instant stuff.  It was too firm and tasted like mash potato.  It should be whipped more.  Chu Shing is better for this dish.
Done.  Shrimp to go.

On Sunday, I ordered 3 Pho #15 XL to go.  I dropped off 2 of them at my parents house :)  and took mine home to eat while watching AKB48 on Music Station.
