So I blew off the olive bread I bought and got some take-out from SSP for Chinese New Year. I was really excited about Lunar New Year cos my January New Year started off kind of dodgy. It's like a second chance to get off on the right track.

SSP is pretty authentic, I guess, cos Spring took a few of us there a couple of years back and ordered for us. She gave us a cheat sheet menu for the good stuff but I decided to go off message and order a few of the shout outs from Yelp.
One of these was sechwan crab. Now, what I was expecting was bits of crab (or some substitute) stir fried with veggies or whatever in sauce. (You know, in a little white box with red writing and little metal handles!)
Instead, I show up and she hands me a large roasting pan covered by foil with a few holes poked in it.
It had a whole freaking fried crab in there.
Man, it was good though. Messy as hell but good.
I'm gonna stick to the script from now on.
Gulp.

To wash it down, I had a can! of Coppola sparkling wine I had left over from the inarguration.
Can't wait to take these things up to the pass!
