If you missed the first and second stops of my FEAST! adventure, then you should go check out my last blog posts about an amazing $38 set menu at Hotpot Palace and $48 set menu at Mr. Bro Bistro & Izakaya. You have now until Monday, November 18 to have a taste of the Feast: Asian Dining Festival. For my last stop, I invited my friends to join me at Continental Seafood Restaurant to enjoy a $178 set menu for 6 people.
The food is excellent and people are lining-up to have a taste of thier original cantonese
cuisine.food is so affordable as well and easy on the budget.
Yes. We,re Eating Again.

I can't decide if Dim Sum from pushcarts works for or against me. I like to see what we are getting but I tend to like everything I see and end up with too much food!. That was the case on Sunday morning at Continental. This is a very large, very hectic dining room but you cannot possibly go hungry! There are many ladies with the pushcarts circulating and some of them are pretty good salespeople! Other ladies, I notice, just kind of look at us and keep going. I am not sure if they assume we will not be interested or don't want to attempt to breach the communication barrier (I would love to learn Mandarin or Cantonese but my partner has me busy working on Tagalog). Most of the 6 items that we had, we enjoyed. We started with Rice Roll which unfortunately came in a portion for 6 people or so and in the end we only ate about half of it (we need to bring friends). I do love that it came with 4 sauces including a spicy mustard. Next was Eggplant and Fish paste on a plate with Tofu and Shrimp all in a black bean sauce. Barbecue Pork buns were also good. Next were the Steamed Pork Spareribs and I'm sorry but I don't really understand the allure of this. It seems like mostly bone and is a bit of work but I know it is popular item so we had to give it a try. We also tried the not so aptly named Crab Balls. These are really Shrimp Balls with a tiny crab claw inserted to make them popsicles! Not that I don't love shrimp but this item was $9.80 and I would not have it again, although I give points for creativity. Finally the Phoenix Talons arrived! This was the item that officially pushed us to too much food but we love them. This was a tasty and nicely done pretty standard version and despite being full, we wolfed them down! We left at around 12:40 (?) and there was a huge line up at the door. If you go on a Sunday, I would take that into account. I am pretty sure that they take reservations. This is a fun and comfortable place with a lot going on. I do recommend it even if you are a neophyte at Dim Sum.
