Seafood Harbor

J's aunt and her husband moved to the United States from Taiwan this weekend, so a welcome luncheon was in order at Seafood Harbor on Rosemead, one of our favorite dim sum places. We had all the usual dim sum items, but what made it a real celebration was the addition of several very expensive special occassion seafood dishes.




Goose foot with sea cucumber. Each person got a plate of this, making it one of the few times I've ever seen Chinese food plated up separately for each diner.




Australian spiny lobster. It was brought to our table alive and kicking for an inspection, then cooked upon approval of its size and freshness.




Geoduck three ways. I didn't take a photo of the plain broth, which I actually love but isn't particulary photogenic. This preparation of the main body of the clam I didn't really like. It was a little overcooked and rubbery/livery.




I love the "tonge" of geoduck. The slices are very crisp and crunchy, with a sweet oceany taste. This is just four photos out of a three hour eating marathon. I was so full afterwards I fell asleep for an hour when we got home and skipped both three o'clock snack and a real dinner. We had some plain noodles and fruit and were plenty full all night.
