Grow-power has arrange a wonderful menu. She is working out the final menu at this moment. I will post the menu tomorrow. So Grow_power, Derek, Joel, Paul and I invite to join us for a full Shanghai dinner with great xlb's. We are droping sea cucumbers for Chef's choice crab. So we do not have to have this Chinese dish. The cost will be about $20.00 for a full course set menu dinner. We will be asking for a $10.00 donation for Chowhound. The menu will be posted tomorrow. You may email me at yimposter@yahoo.com. We have room for up to 7 people. Check on our posting on Chef Ding's a couple months ago. It is our hope that this will be the first of three Shanghai dinners the other two will be in San Francisco and the East Bay. Again I will donate two teas for our dinner pleasure. It should be noted that grow_power family comes from Shanghai so we have a real expect on this type of cusine. Please note: This is a private, volunteer assisted event.
