IRWINDALE: Lunar New Year Cantonese Dinner at Sands Chinese Restaurant 金沙中餐館
Details
IMPORTANT NOTE: DUE TO TOO MANY LAST-MINUTE RSVP CANCELLATIONS RECENTLY: ANYONE WHO CANCELS WITH LESS THAN 48-HOUR NOTICE, OR ARRIVES MORE THAN 15 MINUTES LATE WILL BE PLACED ON A 2-MONTH PROBATION AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY EVENTS DURING THAT PROBATIONARY PERIOD. NO-SHOWS WILL BE EJECTED FROM THE GROUP (IF YOU NO SHOW TO YOUR FIRST EVENT WITH THE GROUP, YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THE GROUP).
Let's welcome in the Year of the Horse with another Cantonese banquet at Sands. We will special-order their tastiest dishes, including the Steamed Black Cod, Wintermelon Soup, and Eight Treasure Duck. This time, we will have special dishes for the celebratory dinner, including Poon Choy and lobster. I will work with the chef (who once worked at the restaurant inside the Sands Hotel & Casino in Macau before immigrating to the U.S.) and find out what other proteins and preparations he can create for us to eat, including procuring roasted suckling pigs from an outside source (no guarantees for now).

EVENT INFORMATION:
• Please arrive a few minutes before our 5:00 pm reservation.
• Family-Style Dining: Dining for this event has been designated as Family-Style. The food bill will be split evenly among all attendees. Attendees will be responsible for paying for their own beverages. Please note that flexibility is an important part of family-style dining, and if you want to take a chance on attending, you have to be amenable to whatever the group/AO orders. You don't have to eat everything that is ordered, but everyone pays the same amount, whether you eat everything or not. Most of the dishes we order will be at least moderately spicy. If this definition of Family-Style Dining doesn't feel comfortable, this may not be the right type of event for you. In addition, if you have ANY dietary restrictions or ingredients you do not wish to consume, then you may want to skip this event. Ordering dishes modified to fit someone's dietary needs or personal tastes will alter the true flavors of those dishes for the rest of the group.
• Cost per person is expected to be about $108.00 or more, plus tax and gratuity. Please pay by cash, Zelle, or Venmo (sktoy67@gmail.com).
• Free parking in the strip mall where they are located.
