How many of you from my days in Rexburg or your own days up north remember Fongs? Well--I sure do! My friend Allison and I were overjoyed when we drove down 12300 S in Draper the other day and saw a restaurant that said Fongs. We decided we needed to eat there...So--today we decided before the rodeo to go to dinner there. Angie came with us and our friend Merrill also joined us. This Chinese restaurant had no connection to the Fongs in Rexburg besides the fact that it was Chinese. But--this was definietly fine dining compared to Rexburg. The menu prices were expesive--reasonable--but expensive. Huge plates of food range from $9.50 a plate to $16.00 a plate (unless you get the Peking Duck--that was $28).
Angie ordered the Walnut Shrimp--it was "melt in your mouth" delcious. I ordered the mandarin chicken--it had the perfect amount of kick to it and it was on crispy wontons. Merrill ordered the pepper steak--it is the one being served by the waiter Kyle and the worker above--it came on a sizzle plate! And Allison ordered the beef--it was delcious and had a sweet flavor to it.
Angie has a way of making friends with the cultural restaurants I've been to--and it happened again. We met Fong--the owner--and he was very nice. We also met the dish washer--and he brought us out a free key chain so we could remember Fongs. Our waiter Kyle was great and gave fantastic suggestions. The food was delicious and looked beautiful on the plate.In all--it was a great fine dining experience. We are putting it on our list of restaurants to go to...If you are in Draper--and craving Chinese--you should give it a try...
