Shanghai Gourmet — Restaurant in Monrovia

I had lunch with family in Shanghai Gourmet. We’ve been to this restaurant a few times before and always enjoy the food. They have a great lunch special menu.

Shredded pork w/ fish sauce was good with rice. Like most Shanghai dishes, it is a little sweeter.

Fish Fillet w/ Wine Sauce was very tasty. The fish fillet was soft, and the sauce was very flavorful.

House Special Ham w/ Yam in Wine Sauce was my favorite dish of the day. The sauce is the same as the fish dish, but more flavorful because of the ham. The mountain yam was crunchy and so very tasty.

Fried Rice Cake w/ Crabmeat is a very Shanghai dish. Love the chewy rice cake and the flavor of the crab.

We had the meat ball w/ crabmeat soup at the end of the meal. Soft meatball with crabmeat stuff inside. Lots of napa cabbage and glass noodle in the soup.
