Chinese Style Crab!!!

                Are you tire of eating steamed crab in the Fisherman’s wharf???? Craving for new taste of crab??? “R&G Lounge” is the best place for Chinese style crab. Beside the most famous dish crab, they also have many delicious Chinese dishes. All of their dishes have good decoration. They make you feel that you are the ancient Chinese emperor and eat all these delicious food in the palace. As the result, the price is very high in typical Chinese restaurants, but it deserved the price. Every dish has larger serving so grab some friends and come here to try the best Chinese dishes in San Francisco.

                I always go there with lot of friends so I can order more food and share with them. Now~~ let me introduce some best dishes!!!!!

                Appetizer- Soya Sauce Bean Curd and Salted Jelly Fishsea Sturgeon

                This my favorite cold dish in there. The soya sauce bean curd is very tasty, every bit contains the flavor of sauce. The tofu is also very soft but the skin is not. The salted jelly fishsea sturgeon is very brittle and it is the best appetizer to start a day’s first meal or the last meal. They can increase your appetite!!!!

                House Specialties - Peking Duck

               

                My favorite food!!! Roasted Duck!!!!!! The Peking duck only has duck skin plus some meat which is very different from other roasted duck that we will have in Hong Kong style restaurants. The duck skin is very crispy and not oily. You need to eat with some sauce and the green onion, and then put it into a steamed bun. This is perfect combination, the steamed burn will absorb the redundant oil from the duck and the sauce or green onion make you don’t feel sick with the duck oil.

                This is the sauce for DUCK !!!

                House Specialties – Live Crab with Salted Egg Yolk

               This is R&L’s signature dish!!!!! Everyone who comes always order this big crab. When you walk in to the restaurant, you will notice that every table has one this kind of big crab. This is also their best dish in the whole restaurant.  They deep fried the crab with salted egg yolk, so when you eat the crab, it will contain the good flavor from salted egg yolk. The R&L always provide the best crab for everyday, so there are a lot of meat in every crab. I always enjoy eating all these fat legs of crab. This crab is very different from the American style crab!!! American style crab is more dry and has less meat, but the Chinese style is totally opposite. Chinese style meat is more juicy and has more flavor. Anyway… this is a must try dish!!!! Also, the price doen not show on the menu because it depends on the market price. Although it is not cheap, this crab totally deserve that price.

                House Specialties – Mixed Seafood Sauteed with Greens

                After the fried and roasted food, it is time for some refreshing food. We order this mixed seafood with vegetables. Although I personally do not like to eat pees, it is healthier to have some vegetables after so many meats. As you can see from the picture, the pawns are very big and fresh. They taste very good, it has been a long time for me to eat such a big pawn in America. The sauce that mixed them together is make from chicken soup which add more points to this dish.

                House Specialties – R&L special beef

               

                This is the most normal one out of all fancy food. It is fried beef with R&L’s special sauce. Not a special dish in this restaurant because I can’t even remember what is taste like right now. It is just a normal beef that is similar to other Chinese restaurants. I do not suggest anyone to order this, there are way better dishes that desire a try.

                House Specialties – Beef in the Clay Pot

                This is a must try dish!!!! My friend always order one and to go one whenever we come here. There is beef tender and Chinese radish inside the clay. They are all very soft with all the flavor contained inside. When you eat it, you can tell that they cook it with many hours. That is why I love this dish very much. At home I do not have time to cook that food for so long so come to here and order it is the best choice.

                Overall, I think R&L Longue is the best place for fancy Chinese food. You get to taste many different food that are totally different from other traditional restaurants. R&L Longue use their heart to cook every food and you can feel it. Every time I go I always see a same family eating dinner in there. Therefore, you can see that some family even makes R&L Longue into their daily dinner place. So~~~ no more waiting, just come and try some best Chinese food.
