Lakeview Chinese Seafood Restaurant

Spring Onion and Ginger Crab

Sometimes, my family with another family goes out for dinner together. And we like to dine at places not too far from where we live. So, there was a day, we went to Lakeview Chinese Seafood Restaurant to dine. And coincidentally, this restaurant  was located not too far from HONS in New Westminster and is a direct competitor to HONS as they both serve Cantonese cuisines. But Lakeview has a fresh seafood menu which the other does not. We have dined here several times before but still found HONS to be the better choice. Usually, there were no special occasion, except to share stories and catch up after not meeting for a week or so.

Stir Fried Broccoli with Beef

Occasionally, we still return to Lakeview because their Cantonese cuisines are slightly different and their portions are the most generous of all restaurants we have dined in. It is just another choice within are area. But, this time round we decided to try out their crab cuisine. We were recommended several different choices of cooking styles for the crab cuisine which we picked the most familiar to us. We decided on the Spring Onion and Ginger Crab cuisine which actually turned out to be good. The crab was obviously fresh because it was caught from the aquarium and transferred to the chef's wok.

Honey Garlic Spare Ribs

The second cuisine was the Stir Fried Broccoli with Beef. Like I mentioned earlier, Lakeview serves large portions and the vegetable cuisines was really large sized. The choice of cuisine was good as the beef on the broccoli was fresh and tasty. The beef was cooked right not over cooked and still tender.

Our third cuisine was Honey Garlic Spare Ribs, the kids favorite.  This is one of the must have cuisine in our list when we have large group of people dining together. We actually ordered five cuisines for the eight of us and because of the expected large portions, the food was more than enough for all of us. In fact, we had to pack the leftovers to take home.

Spicy Fried Garlic Shrimps

The two other cuisines were Steam Fish Fillet in Light Soy Sauce with Ginger and Spicy Fried Garlic Shrimps.

The Steam Fish was an appetizing cuisine as the sauce was flavourful and tasty. I enjoyed sipping the sauce and mixing with my bowl of rice. It was tasty. The Spicy shrimp was equally good, adding some spicy flavour to the meal and the aroma from the garlic was really mouth watering. Eating in places like this, we have to bear with the lack of presentation in their cuisine but they make up for generously larger portions.
