Had a late lunch at Lakeview with my family from out of town. (13 of us in total)
They were VERY accommodating. The service was 10 times much more polite than any other Chinese restaurant that I had been in. (We don't eat out now because of that)
The food was well proportioned and delicious.
The prompt polite staff added to my liking the place.
We will definitely come back when we have family visiting again.
Thanks Lakeview!
Arghh, I tripped on some pavement yesterday and my knees/hands got all bloody!! And my wound had just healed!! (I tripped last month too.) They don't call me a klutz for nothing. Anyways, for Mother's Day this year I wasn't feeling very well, so instead of going out, we decided to get take out from New Lakeview!! New Lakeview has been my family's go to Cantonese/takeout restaurant for 20 something years! We use to get takeout from here all the time! New Lakeview is known as a more "westernized" Chinese restaurant, but they still serve a ton of authentic Cantonese dishes!! :D
On a separate occasion I ordered some sweet and sour pork + gon chow ngau ho and had a picnic in my backyard...and I got sunburned! So sunburned that my skin started peeling...ouch (being allergic to sunscreen sucks.)
The folks at New Lakeview are super nice, they're always willing to customize orders; but this time they messed up! We ordered lemon chicken, and they gave us braised chicken instead! My mom didn't realize until I pointed it out to her...she thought that it was lemon chicken the whole time! We didn't mind though, the braised chicken turned out to be really yummy!!
I'm just come to the realization that winter break is coming to an end *groans* School starts up on Tuesday and my first class is at 9:30 am... why do I do this to myself?. Oh, and I almost forgot: HAPPY (Belated) NEW YEARS EVERYBODY!! Hope you didn't have too much fun ;). I didn't do much for New Years this year. My dad and I spent the entire evening watching "The Imitation Game" on Netflix. My most eventful New Years was in Vegas ~ I fainted 2 minutes before midnight from all the smoke in the casino and people had to carry me back to my hotel room...
On New Years Day we went to New Lakeview to celebrate because we didn't want to wander too far from home! Mann, going back to New Lakeview was a trip down memory lane!!! I use to go here all the time with my grandparents a few years back. Their sweet and sour pork was my go to, I would order it every time. Yes, I was a diehard S&S Pork fan (still am) and I'm not ashamed to admit it ;)
The place was packed when we arrived, we actually had to wait for a seat! The interior hasn't changed one bit - the furniture, the decor, everything's stayed the same! We were seated at a really cramped table but the waitresses were nice enough to offer us a new table when a spot cleared up.
