New Thing 116, New Thing Every Day: Try Honey Walnut Shrimp (Chinese Food)

For over four years, Leigh and I have been eating at ABC Chinese Cuisine -- generally considered the most authentic in Columbia. In all that time, I have almost always eaten one of two dishes -- a spicy lamb or Kung Pao Chicken. I have often thought about trying Honey Walnut Shrimp, but never have, until tonight.

Honey Walnut Shrimp is battered shrimp, with walnuts, in a honey cream sauce. Yes, I said cream sauce! I have never seen Asian food with cream sauce, but here it is (maybe this challenges my previous statement about authenticity?).

In any case, I have now tried it; and I liked it. It will now be something I have from time to time.
