"How did you like Pei Wei's food?" I asked.
"I've never tried it," he said. Roy told me that as far as he knew, Shanghai Cuisine was the first Shanghai-style restaurant in Houston. But it's no longer the only one — another Shanghai-style Chinese restaurant recently opened right across the street.

This kind of cooking became a favorite late in his life, he said. "When I was younger, I loved spicy Chinese food," Roy told me. "But my stomach can't take it anymore." It's easy to skip the spicy stuff in a Shanghai Chinese restaurant. And thanks to the fermented vegetables, the heavy garlic, and lots of mushrooms and flower buds, the food still manages to be bold-flavored without the fiery chile peppers.
Now that Roy has helped me figure out the menu, I can't wait to go back and try some of the salt-and-pepper seafood dishes and the weird oversize broad beans. I'll also be ordering some more of that awesome pork belly. And this time, there won't be any leftovers.
