Happy Lunar New Year! We ordered our favourite Chinese dishes for lunch today from a new restaurant - Grand Chinese Restaurant in Yaletown.

| Beef Rolls |
We love beef rolls! The best one is still from
Peaceful Restaurant, but this comes a close second. What's the difference? This one has a thicker wrap, but the beef and sauce are as delicious.

| Xiao Long Bao |
It's hard to judge the Xiao Long Bao when it's delivered and not fresh from a restaurant kitchen, but it's still good.
 |
| Pan-Fried Pork Buns |
 |
| Inside of the Pan-Fried Pork Buns |
I discovered that I prefer pan-fried pork buns over steamed ones. However, this one has more dough than filling.
 |
| Shanghai-style Chow Mein |
This is my favourite dish from Grand Chinese Restaurant and I give this the "award" of becoming my favourite Shanghai-style chow men. It's slightly sweet but has that great flavour. I don't think I have tried a Shanghai-style chow mein which I will crave and would want to eat again.

| Dan Dan Noodles |
My favourite dan dan (tan tan) noodles is from
Szechuan Chili because the sauce obviously has peanut butter which adds another depth of flavour I haven't encountered before. This one though has a lot of crushed peanut, but not as delicious as the one from Szechuan Chili.
