1. Wok-fried Maine lobster. Lobster is not indigenous to China. Imports are mainly from Australia and the USA. Cooking in a wok is a Chinese style method.
2. Crispy Pork with Sweet & Sour Sauce* 咕嘍肉 35.88 Pineapple, Heirloom Bell Peppers, Pearl Onions (Chinese-American modification for western tastes by battering, sweetening, frying. Sweet-and-sour sauces do exist in China, but are mostly eaten with fish dishes. And most importantly, the sauce lives in a separate dish which the diner uses for dipping. )
3. General Tao’s Chicken 左宗雞 35.88 Balsamic Chili Sauce, Baby Bok Choy (Chinese-American modification of a Chinese dish for western tastes)
4. Lemon Chicken* 香酥檸雞 35.88 Frisée, Honey Lemon Sauce
(In China, the chicken is steam. Common take out food from Canadian Chinese. and Chinese-Indian restaurants. Generally fried for Western tastes)
5. Pan-Seared Lamb Chops* 香煎羊排 61.88 (Western and not Chinese dish)
6. Fried Prawns with Candied Walnuts* 核桃蝦球 45.88 Romaine Lettuce, Creamy Kalamansi Honey Sauce (Adapted for western taste again frying and adding candied walnuts as well as honey sauce. A Chinese-American dish)
7. Garlic Beef Tenderloin* 蒜片黑椒牛柳 52.88 Heirloom Bell Peppers, Sugar Peas, Seasonal Mushrooms, Black Pepper Sauce (western dish)
8. Wing Lei Sampler 永利拼盤 42.88 King Crab Salad, (2) BBQ Spare Ribs, (2) Shrimp Toast Sliced
(Shrimp Toast heavy in oil and a favorite Chinese American take out item. King crab generally sourced from Alaska.)
9. Worst offender? Imperial Peking duck and also listed by Wing Lei as Peking duck.
Is this an American version of Duck called Peking Duck. YES/NO?
Note fully authentic serving practices and modified.
What is the breed of the duck?
Was the duck hung and dried for the appropriate period of time?
If the duck is not special ordered in advance and is soon ready to be served, how long has it been sitting since it was cooked and then reheated?
Even in China they have prepackaged cooked "Peking Duck" that they sell at the airport when departing Beijing's Airport, Does Wing Lei do something similar to this?
If not, is duck hung and cooked in an open oven style?
Is air pumped to separate skin from the meat?
Perhaps the name should be changed to American Peking Duck or something else on the menu if modified cultural appropriation.
Description issues:
Seafood Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 18.88 Mushrooms, Wood Ear, Bamboo, Maine Lobster,
(Description should read bamboo shoots. Wood ear is in the mushroom family. Don't know what other types of mushrooms are added).
Calories:
The appetizers, side dishes and desserts are no more than 250 calories each and the main courses are 500 calories or less
1. Egg rolls us a delicious little crispy packet that only takes a couple of bites to consume, but therein lies the problem. Taken on its own, a single egg roll is 222-calorie,
2, Fried rice results in an oily, starchy, undeniably delicious, but totally unnecessary calorie addition. Calories can be reduced depending on the type of oil used. What type of oil is used? Generally a cup-sized portion starts at 200 calories.
Many other issues but the above are of concerns that currently stand out.
Looking forward to your input. Also, for transparency and truth in advertising, first Chinese to win Michelin One star should have a footnote that this was in 2008-2009, Thirteen years has passed.
A star indicates excellent cooking. Two stars are referred to as good tasting cooking worthy of exploring a little bit; and three stars are regarded as exceptional tasting cuisine worth getting into.
From what I heard, one of the reasons Wing lei has 5 stars from Forbes is because of excellent service, superior decor. . .
In addition, live seafood advertised. I didn't see any live seafood.
Will live seafood be selected and presented prior to cooking?
In some Chinese restaurants, they will be taken out of the tanks.
