My wife had asked for a glass of red wine, but a tall flask of some- thing resembling red cough syrup was delivered. We sent it back, ordered another Tsingtao and sat back to await production from the Court’s kitchen. The arrival of Satay Chicken Teppan ($8.95) was preceded by the delivery of a hot oblong iron plate. The latter provides the stage upon which the teppan’s mixture of chicken, onions and green Peppers perform for the dining senses. It is a production similar to a Mexican fajita: full of hiss, steam and excitement for the ears and es. But more than just a good pres- entation, the dish provided an in- teresting meal. The chicken in a sauce alive with ginger and hot peppers was spicy but not overwhelming. Of course, there were too many onions and green peppers tossed in as vegetable filler, but that is a common fault of North American Chinese cuisine that will take more than my gripi ng to set straight. We also tried Squids with Chinese Broccoli ($8.95) — another good choice. {t featured Jarge tubes of soft- steamed squid amid brilliant deep green Chinese broccoli. It was a good study in contrasts: white and green colors; soft, juicy squid and crunchy, stir-fried broc- coli. The latter is an excellent vegetable with long, soft stems and big leaves. Both are a brilliant col- or and full of flavor. But the best selection of the evening was the Crispy Rice ($8.95). Another example of the Chinese fascination with food textures, the dish is built around dry, deep-fried tice that is fashioned into a central Tom Northcott returns From page 25 played at Vancouver coffeehouses such as the Bunk House and The Inquisition on Seymour Street.

The crispy rice bow! was filled with a stir-fry of scallops, prawns, beef, Chinese mushrooms, chicken and barbecued chicken. All of the above went well with the rice, providing good colorful visuals, good flavor combinations and, again, interesting contrasts in food textures.
