Suzy: So nice to meet you in person after all this time, too! Glad you had such a wonderful time. But then, with that food, those wines, and such wonderful company, it’d be hard not to. My hubby is still chuckling over whom you thought he might be. Glad he could surprise you. LOL

Thanks so much for posting about this dinner. It was a treat to finally meet you and find out who “Meat Boy” was—hee hee, my guess was way off. Chin-shu was kind enough to introduce me to Pim, who I had read for years. And you introduced me to Andrea Nguyen, who is one of my other favorite bloggers for Asian recipes. What a night! The food was wonderful. I especially loved the beggar’s chicken–the stuffing was to die for and I thought I didn’t like brussel sprouts. We lucked out, as a foursone seated next to us didn’t show. Bill and I about ate a whole snapper and chicken by ourselves (well, I did anyway). Only fair, since our table was told that the meat ball course had problems or something and we were instead served the vegetarian substitute of cauliflower. Definitely not the same, if you’re a carnivore. I did manage to eat two shares of dessert and then felt like rolling out the door. I can’t believe I actually sat and ate for four hours! Wish we were going to be in town for next month’s Wild Things.

yum! I wish we had CNY all year round if only for the food! I am not surprised that it sold out so quickly
