Tonight's Dinner

Our biggest dinner party in HK so far, with Toby and Donna & others. As we are approaching Chinese new year and most of our guests were Chinese, I wanted to use special occasion ingredients but in the kinds of dishes they wouldn't normally find them. I've included an escargot dish, but decided to skip it. Needless to say, they did not leave hungry.
