"Blessed that the storm called Hurricane Barry in New Orleans ended up a non-event, we headed out for a Saturday night dinner. Very few places were open, but an old favorite, Royal China, was indeed open. When we walked in, the room was nearly full, and there were people waiting on takeout. Ms Shirley took us to a table, and we perused the menu. A young gent took our drink orders, and It was a good night to eliminate stress with a large hot sake. We ordered a series of appetizers, but with a bread shortage, shrimp toast was out, but shrimp rolls, paper shrimp, and coconut shrimp were in. All were excellent. We ordered the house combo fried rice, with plenty of shrimp, pork and chicken. We also ordered one entree for each of us, knowing there was going to be a fine leftovers dinner by Tuesday. I ordered Seafood in a Nest,Chinese vegetables stir-fried with jumbo shrimps, scallops and pecans in a mild sauce. Tasty with lovely presentation. My son ordered Hawaii Delight, Fresh jumbo shrimp, beef, chicken sauteed with fresh pineapple and vegetables. His nest was half a pineapple. Wife got her favorite, boneless fried chicken. We had enough space for a couple of almond cookies and fortune cookies. What made this special is how Ms Shirley and the young man handled the front desk and the entire room with grace and efficiency. I am unsure how many folks were manning the kitchen, but the taste, serving, and presentation was special especially given the worker shortage."
