My wife and I had dinner last night at Chinese on Carson (1500 block of East Carson) and I just had to share the following. They have a special additional menu for the summer-Burmese. We tried two dishes from it and were very impressed with the different flavors and texture. I ordered the Mandalay Shrimp ($10.50) "Large shrimp cooked with crushed eggplant, ginger, and garlic in a spicy Burmese curry sauce." Eleanor had the Malaysian Festival Fried Rice ($7.00)-"Shrimp, garlic, onion,fresh red chili pepers, stir-fried together with rice. Garnished with tomato and cucumber." The spice were subtle and not overpowering. The portions were generous although I was able to finsh mine and she took home 1/3 of her's. Incidentially, I started with the Hot and Sour soup and it was excellent, too. The word "Hot" was a proper description. The temperature and the amount of seasoning were both on target--probably the best Hot and Sour soup I've had.

Someone wrote: > Asian Palace, > 3500 William Penn HWY > Don't let the buffet fool you > Dimsum daily 11am -10pm I've been there quite a few times and actually know the owner fairly well (he also owns the Chinese grocery in Wilkinsburg, forgot what exactly it's called). I would rate the dim-sum over there fair at best. Although they do have quite a large dim-sum menu, most of the dishes come from the microwave. You can easily find the frozen food in Chinese groceries in Strip District and 'wave it yourself. The "fried breadstick" (usually served w/ the "sweet bean milk") is pretty good, I must say, along with a few other items. ------------------------------- Victor H.
