Ming Teh

greetings,
still in search of another appropriate summertime restaurant we will be trying one with a decent patio in Allentown: La Tee Da (no website but nice write ups at http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-tee-da-buffalo) on August 4 at 6:30 p.m. Please send me confirmation sooner rather than later if you wish to attend.
six of us (one new) ventured into foreign land yesterday and tasted Fort Erie's best: Ming Teh. Conversation varied from politics to BP to politics to soccer to religion to Lily Dale and to politics.
to the food. the group started with their fried dumplings served with soy sauce. not too much to say about them - they were good. i also had a spring roll which was nothing to write home about.
Ming serves it's entrees family style making it easy to share. we started with their moo shu pork. stir fried vegetables and pork served in a paper thin pancake (more like a crepe) with hoisen sauce. very good. the next five entrées came out together: 1) spicy crunchy sesame ginger chicken; 2) beef with tangerine peel & garlic; 3) wine shrimp with fungus (mushrooms) & bamboo shoots; 4) stir-fried green beans; and 5) stir fried noodles with chicken, shrimp, pork and vegetables. I thought the ginger chicken stood out the most - crunchy, breaded chicken pieces served in a ginger, sesame sweet sauce that had just enough pepper in it to please the palate. I also thought the beef and tangerine dish was excellent as well - tender beef in a garlic sweet sauce. the stir-fried green beans were also excellent crispy and fresh. the noodle and seafood dishes were pedestrian at best.
no one ordered dessert as the main course filled everyone up.
i don't think you can consider Ming Teh to be fine dining, however, except for the presentation basically, the food comes close to a fine dining experience. all in all I give it a B+
