Family Night Lobster Fest!

There were supposed to be a lot more people here, but they all bailed, leaving this in effect family night. I really love this lobster special. The first batch though, wasn't as fresh and it was apparent because the meat was shruken and a little mushy. Shellfish, when it is cooked fresh (ie, still alive when you put it in the pot) must be firm and full when cooked. If it seems smallish and not so tough, or a little mushy, it was probably already dead before they put it in the pot. I made a comment to our waitress, and the second round was terrific! Nice firm and juicy. Lek made her own sauce and brought that to the dinner. I told her that I thought she might want to make more as her flavorful garlic/hot pepper Thai sauce is pretty tasty. She said it's too spicey for anyone else to have. It didn't last past the first round of lobsters! Note, remember 2 things if you ever wish to partake in the Lobster night, first, you have to make reservations. It's a very popular special, and it fills up fast. Second, you have to pay in cash, no credit cards, so hit the ATM first.
