Question

What is a Chinese banquet?

Answer

A Chinese banquet is a large meal with multiple courses all served family style (meant to share). Guests sit in round tables of ten, and the food comes out when the dish is ready. The meal will last for about 2 hours, so please come hungry! Canton Seafood and Dim Sum Restaurant is known for their seafood, including scallops, stuffed golden crab claws, braised abalone with mushrooms, lobster, smoked sea bass, and seafood soup with fish maw and dry scallops. Because Chinese culture values fresh food, some dishes, like Peking duck and lobster, will come with bones, shells, and heads on the plate. Don't be alarmed if you see a lobster head on the plate--you'll know it is fresh, not frozen, lobster that you're eating!

Question

Answer
