Maple Yip Menu
Hi - thinking of trying Maple Yip for a special occasion. I've read good things about it here and was wondering if anybody would know where I can find a menu? Just wondering what are must try dishes and the avg price per dish. Thanks!

For special occasion, you might give the 'Double Boiled Whole Winter Melon with seafood...etc'' and the ' Steamed whole Dungeness crab on fried rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf' a try. Both might require advance notice. Also, you can ' kick up a notch' chefhound's recommendation by ordering ' Live Spotted Prawns with Maggi Sauce' ( now that Spotted Prawns season has started).

For the crab rice, prepare to pay around $35 for the dish. They usually give you a 3lb biggie.
For the Winter Melon Soup. Again the price is around $35-40. Enough to feed at least 6-8 people.
Expect to dish out around $20-25 per pound for the Spotted prawns. This is an all inclusive price ( cooking include ). Still a few bucks cheaper than what O'Mei will charge you!

In addition to what chefhound suggested, our family also likes their birds nest w/ stir fried seafood (shrimps, scallops), the peking duck is decent (nothing stellar), sweet n sour pork is good, small deep fried sliver fish, salted fish and tofu hot pot. They also have a whole crispy chicken stuffed w/ glutinous rice that you need to pre-order a day in advance (lor mie gai is the chinese name of it).

I don't think you'll find a menu online. Half of the menu items are written on strips of coloured paper in Chinese only. If you can't read Chinese, you're going to need a friend to help you order the non-menu items.
I believe the steamed fish is a specialty and I like the shrimp cooked in Maggi sauce. You might have some luck looking at some of Charles Yu's posts on the specific dishes he recommends.
