Sun Wah, Duck Egg Fu Young - Att Steve Z

LTH,

I am attempting to explore tweet, twit and facebook, though not having much luck. Much as I like Mike Nagrant, do I really care if he tweets his faucet is dripping at 2am? I did however pick up a tidbit on facebook that I put to good use. Duck Egg Fu Young at Sun Wah.

Duck Egg Fu Young at Sun Wah!



Meaty, rich, fragrant, roast duck easily eclipses BBQ pork and shrimp. Sun Wah's egg fu young is an excellent version as well, light patties, sauce flavorful with black beans and ginger. Surprisingly egg fu young is not on Sun Wah's menu, but it's an often ordered item which they always accommodate.

On another Sun Wah note, there will be a We Are Moving Party on July 15, details, price, menu etc to be announced by Kelly in Events. The party will start at 7pm.

Sun Wah will be closed, permits permitting, on July 16th and will reopen at 5041 N Broadway approximately 1 month later.

Enjoy,
Gary

This was Mike's posting on the Viva Sun Wah! Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4 ... opic=10935):

"Here's a few off menu dishes that we've been blessed to know from SW. You've gotta try them out!

1. Mike's Chicken! A must!!

2. Tofu and Crispy Pork with shrimp sauce (slightly fishy smelling). But so satisfying

3. Shrimp with Eggplant

4. Duck fu young- haven't had this yet but Kelly said it is a good idea!

5. Crispy Pork with shrimp sauce (warning to those who dislike fishy smelling food, do not order this one.)"

Has anyone tried the shrimp sauce dishes on the list? Am going there tonight and wanted to try a few things on here...

I hear the quacking sound of duck efy in my near future. Thanks for the heads up!

I became bored with egg fu young years ago . . . and then this post came along. Now I know that it's time to meet egg fu young again.

Is it made with chicken or duck eggs?

Egg foo young is a total guilty pleasure for me. And this version with duck sounds like it's taking it to another level! This poses a problem though for when I go to Sun Wah - the list of things to order is expanding!

Chicken eggs, but I would love to try it made with duck eggs.

Come taste this marvel of culinary science for yourself next Monday (6/8) at lunchtime.

I doubt most would be able to tell a difference given all the other stuff in the dish. I could hardly tell the difference when I had deviled duck and chicken eggs side by side in San Francisco.

I would never Twitter something as banal as my faucet dripping...but that's the kind of thing some mainstream food reviewers would probably do if they knew what a computer was.

So, does that mean you're coming next Monday?

Would love, to unfortunately, I have an interview commitment.
