»Nice food, wine and friends at Sunny Shanghai in San Bruno
Yimster was nice enough to arrange a dinner at a nice Shaghaiese restaurant in San Bruno, Sunny Shanghai. Joining us were one of Lambert's sons and Larry, also a Chowhound.
This was the menu as much as anyone could remember:
Chilled Pork Kidney Flowers
Chilled Salted Water Duck
Sister in law Soup (a soup made from yellow fish from the Shanghai area)
Green Onion Pancake
A Choy Sauteed with Garlic

I would say my favorites were the Chinese chitterlings, the sister in law soup and probably the the chicken with fish sauce.
The intesines were tender and flavorful. Of course you could deep fry a Reebok shoe and it will taste good, but the chef knows the secrets of making them taste good.
The sister in law soup is like is like hout and sour soup with fish instead of hot and sour. Really tasty. The chicken and the fish sauce were nice contrasts and worked well.
I had never had those vegetables before. I'm not still clear how A Choy is all that different from bok choy but it was tasty.
The stinky tofu is a dish every Chowhound has to try at least once. It's not the kind of stinky that wafts across he room but boy you get a cube up under your nose and you get it full blast.
There were no real misses and I would eat everything again if I had the chance.
With tip it came to $20 a person. Quite a deal.
From left to right are the Chinese chitlins, the stinky tofu, the pancakes and the duck.-COLLAPSE
