\"fangs<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, Greg took Beth, Natalie, and myself out to eat at Fang\u2019s Restaurant.\u00a0 The kids and I had been treated to a meal there, courtesy of our realtors, when looking for apartments when we first arrived in Taiwan.\u00a0 The goal this time was to treat our culinary arts student, Beth, to a nice, authentic Chinese meal.
\nOur meal included steamed kale and Chinese peppers with preserved pork, shrimp and pork dumplings, black mushrooms cooked with cabbage and onions, sweet and sour pork, grilled shrimp with a vinaigrette, Chinese noodles in chicken broth.\u00a0 There was a steady supply of a pleasing warm tea.\u00a0 Dessert was a light, tapioca like, sweet bean soup.\u00a0 This was just a sampling of the dishes on the menu.
\nWe all ate with chop sticks, occasionally aided by the soup spoons.\u00a0 The \u2018dinner\u2019 plates are about the size of a teacup saucer, so only a very small amount fits at a time.\u00a0 Thus, serving plates were continually being passed and no one is very sure how much they ate.
\nWhen we were leaving, we noticed that the dumpling preparation room can be viewed from the sidewalk of the wide metropolitan street.\u00a0 One whole wall of the room is a huge picture window.\u00a0 Two cooks were in there skillfully and quickly making dumplings.\u00a0 It was mesmerizing to watch.<\/p>\n

I would highly recommend this restaurant.\u00a0 We already have plans to go there again in 2 weeks.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I will be shopping for a bamboo steamer, as well as considering other famous dumpling shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
