King Crab Legs are one of my favorite dishes. A close second has to be Main Lobster. Over the years you may have heard my mantra, “Lobster is lobster, as long as it is fresh, so why over pay?”

The Fu Shing Restaurant in East Pasadena, like many Chinese restaurants, offers a nice selection of seafood items, one being a live Maine Lobster. Fu Shing and Chef Felix Chang serve it three different ways: Steamed (my choice), with garlic or sesame style. The last two are cooked in a wok and served cut-up, or can be ordered whole. If you are a lobster-lover like I am, the price is right - usually about ($1) or ($2) above market price, depending on the season. Owner Cindy Chang doesn’t mind if you order two plates. No limit restrictions here. At this week’s writing, the price is ($14.99) a pound. I have had the lobster at the Palm Restaurant in West Hollywood and this is every bite its equal.

Another good bet is the Explorer Dinner. This multi-course dinner for four showcases some of Fu Shing’s best dishes. As of this writing, it is ($23) per person. You begin with a cold appetizer, a salad and a hot wonton appetizer with real crabmeat in a tangy chili paste. Next item arriving at the table is the South Seas Seafood Fire Pot with five different seafood items. The main course includes Jumbo Scallops, Fire Cracker Lamb, Mayo Shrimp with Longan, Macadamia Nut Chicken, fresh catfish and a Buddhist Feast in a Noodle basket with fresh vegetables. For dessert, they offer an assortment of interesting items. Please go tohttp://www. fu-shing.com for an updated menu and prices.

Bonus: Of course, Fu Shing offers many Chinese entrees. If you like sizzling rice soup, order it here: it is very good.

The restaurant features a patio, with private party room upstairs. Price per entree ranges from ($13.95) to ($20). Casual dress. Reservations are suggested, especially for the Explorer Dinner feast. Plenty of free parking.

Fu Shing Restaurant, 2960 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena. (626) 792-8898. Daily 11:30 AM to 10 PM. Join me for the Taste of Arcadia, Monday, September 20, at the Arboretum. Hours are 5:30 PM to 9 PM.

City of Sierra Madre PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE From: The City of Sierra Madre Subject: CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION TO EXTEND AN INTERIM MORATORIUM ORDINANCE REGARDING LAND GENERALLY IN THE CANYON AREA OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE

On November 24, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1301-U, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Sierra Madre, California Establishing an Interim Moratorium Ordinance Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 Regarding Land Generally in the Canyon Area of the City and Declaring the Urgency Thereof (the “Ordinance”), to become effective immediately. The City Council found that the City’s current zoning ordinance did not address the unique hillside topography, irregular lots, narrow winding streets, and rural character of the Canyon area of the City and that a separate zoning ordinance was needed. Therefore, the Ordinance prohibits certain subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, and other entitlements for use in the Canyon area while a separate zoning ordinance is being developed. Unless the City Council extends the ordinance, the ordinance will expire on October 9, 2010. At the meeting the City Council will consider extending the ordinance for up to an additional 12 months.

All interested persons may attend this meeting and the City Council will hear them with respect thereto. If you have any questions, please contact Danny Castro, Director of Development Services at 626.355.7138. DATE AND TIME OF MEETING PLACE OF MEETING City of Sierra Madre City of Sierra Madre City Council Meeting City Council Chamber Tuesday, September 28, 2010 232 W.

ARCADIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Taste of Arcadia began as a yearly modest MONDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 cocktail & appetizer evening, with a few 5:30 - 9:00 PM At the LA County Arboretum hundred guests attending. Held at various 301 N. BALDWIN AVENUE, ARCADIA venues, including backyards, this event has had a variety of titles over the last three and a half decades (you may remember it as the “Wineshed Mixer”.) At one time, it was also held in the infield of Santa Anita Park and raised money to build the Arcadia float for the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Years Day. When interest in a float faded, interest in a community event did not, and the event was reborn. To bring you up to date, under the able guidance of Chamber member Bob Kenz, Tickets are $45 at www.tasteofarcadia.com local Robeks Juice owner, Taste of Arcadia has emerged as a true destination event, or call (626) 447-2159 relocating in September of 2000 to the LA County Arboretum.
