Asian Cafe Express Family-Style Chinese Dinner!

Details

It's been a while since we've been to Asian Cafe Express, so it's about time for a Cheap Eats Cantonese Feast! Asian Cafe Express is renowned for authentic Hong Kong cuisine, with other regional Chinese specialties represented, too. The menu is amazing, veggie-forward, & seafood oriented (no pun intended). Diners may even bring fresh specialty seafood items for the chefs to prepare!

The service is friendly & impeccable, and it really replicates the Asian regional cafe environment without leaving AZ! The dining tables will be set up to facilitate Yin-Yang coordination of food selections before we order to ensure a variety of ingredients & cooking methods, and, of course, foodie conversation about each course of the meal!

This time, our format is "Family-Style Dining." This means, that, like Dim Sum, rather than individualized entrees, several dishes are served at once to be passed around & shared by all at the table(s) - new surprise after tasty surprise!

However, Cheap Eats is a Culinary Democracy, so each diner does get to choose an entrée from the extensive menu to add to the feast. We'll get a few dishes at a time, so that the table doesn't get overcrowded or the food cold.

In addition to a wide variety of fish, shellfish, beef, chicken, pork, veggies, & noodles - fried, steamed, boiled, & wokked - they'll also throw in soup, rice, & tea. WOW!

So, this ends up being a very casual meal of several courses, allowing us to savor it all, not just a "Dine & Dash. Please consider dining time into account when RSVP'ing. It will take at least 2 hrs to complete.

For our intrepid attendees, we'll have a memorable, authentic, non-Gringo Cantonese experience! Surely, it'll include dishes that you've never imagined before!

Since it's a "Family-Style"shared event, we'll have the restaurant split the final bill among the attendees. Individual extras, i.e., non-tea beverages, dessert, takeout, etc., must be paid separately.

The final cost/person should be about ±$20 including tax & tip, depending on the number of attendees. It could be a bit more, so please plan accordingly. They cheerfully accept individual payments, CC or cash.

"Family-Style" w/ bill-splitting is the only way that we can manage this sort of culinary adventure. If that's not OK, then you should wait for a different event, but we'd love everyone to attend!
