Exactly Holly. I thought it is quite expensive for dinner. I did like the food though, quite spicy and different.

I was at Alvin Garden for lunch today. I like their folk style art hangings and the nicer than your average asian cafe dining setting.

For lunch, we ordered the spicy lamb and rice, and the spicy wonton appetizer. The lamb was very well seasoned and flavoured and the spicy wontons were the tiniest wonton bites I have ever seen swimming in a sweet/spicy broth. If you can't take too much heat in your food, I would recommend a cooling cold soy milk.

My sister and I were impressed enough to plan our next visit, which will definitely include the spicy lamb and rice dish again. Lunch prices are very good value ($6-7) and I would probably skip coming for dinner as those prices are much higher, and not necessarily worth it in my opinion (unless someone else is paying).

haha...I totally agree with your comment about meat being cut into itsy bitsy pieces. I'm not really sure why they did that! Thanks for organizing the dinner though...it was fun. :)

Kevin, funny u mentioned that, cuz my friend just came back from the Phillipines and he gave me a bag of Cornick. What a tasty snack! Oh, Clover chips rock too!

Does that mean I won't be thrown to the wolves (because it was me who suggested the restaurant)? ^_^

Yeah, just like LPV and ET said, thanks for organizing it. Sure, I will take the credit (or blame) for choosing Alvin Garden but that is just a minor detail compared to what you had to do. Thanks!

I second LPV's comment - thanks for organizing the dinner Sherman. Since we've had Chinese twice in a row, maybe the next one should be some other cuisine... :-)

Hi Jonnek! Yes, I had a hard time figuring out who and how many to invite. I even had to consult Ben because he's an expert at organizing these things! I'm thinking next time we can have more than one table or... just take over the whole restaurant!

The dishes look yummy. Too bad only food bloggers are invited. With the explosion of food blogs and food blogs readers I think we can have a Vancouver food blog exposition. Or a food blog fest where participants gets to go out and sample as many restaurants as possible in a day. Hmmmm..

Thanks a lot for organizing the dinner =)
