We celebrate our dad's birthday with a family dinner at Continental Seafood Restaurant in Cambie Road, Richmond, BC.
We arrived at the restaurant at 5:00 PM for an early dinner. I love the service - they're so attentive to us since there are only two other occupied tables.
We got the following items:

Everything was delicious and unique. That's all you need to know. Kidding; skip the Half & Crispy Chicken.

The Baked BBQ Pork Bun reminded me of asado bola-bola siopao. The Pork & Shrimp Dumpling (siu mai) is better than the Shrimp Scallop Dumpling.

Both spring rolls are crunchy on the outside and delicious on the inside. It's just a matter of preference if you like pork or shrimp. If spring rolls are not your thing, you can skip it. But it's better than other Chinese restaurants around.

I have a secret love for deep-fried taro, so I always get it in the rare times I see it. Meanwhile, my younger sister has always been fond of deep-fried squid with salt & pepper, so we always order it.

I wanted to compare the Roasted Pork and BBQ Pork with HK BBQ Master. The roasted pork was not as crispy, while the BBQ pork was not as sweet but still tender.

The best part of the meal is Yangzhou fried rice. It's the best in Metro Vancouver that I've tried so far.

After dinner, we drove back to my parents' place to eat cake while watching Mission Impossible (1996).
