Monday Dinner at Marco Polo

With such busy weekend hours, some restaurants close on Mondays. Thankfully, Marco Polo is not one of them. While they have a lot on their various menus, we'd decided on Chinese food.

We met another couple there and had the usual discussion around Chinese food:

Person 1: "How do you want to do this, shall we each order our own food, or should we all order something to share?"

Person 2: "Why don't we all get something to share?"

Person 3 and Person 4: "Yeah, that sounds good. Let's do that"

Then we all sort of laughed as we wondered -- who ever does anything else?

We decided on some pot stickers to start. They arrived more quickly than we expected, which was good since we were all pretty hungry. Our server brought a small dish of something I first thought was soy sauce. As it turns out it was nicely salty, but also had a bit of a sweet tinge to it as well -- not like a true sweet & sour sauce, but something better. The pot stickers themselves were hot and nicely browned.

We'd had just enough time to polish off the 6 potstickers amongst the four of us, when our entrees arrived.

Garlic Green Beans and Chicken

Broccoli and Beef

Double-Cooked Pork

Garlic Prawns in Black Bean Sauce

And it was nice that the server gave us a choice of brown steamed rice!

Everything was tasty, the drinks were refilled promptly and with a smile, the company was good and the conversation was lively -- and as if all that were not enough, we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

We couldn't have asked for more!
