Wisps of sun seemed determined to break through the clouds on a breezy Saturday in Prince Edward Island. HG/BSK went off to the Charlottetown Famers Market. HG picked up a bag of tiny (really tiny) potatoes, one of the riches of PEI’s red soil, plus a pound of fresh haddock. These products (plus spinach and cherry tomatoes) would be the elements of the night’s dinner. BSK concentrated shopping on greens, onions, etc., plus a big bone for Toby, The Wonder Dog (he gnawed it happily later in the day). After completing banking and other errands, HG suggested lunch at King’s, a much-touted Chinese restaurant. Prescient BSK was not enthusiastic but agreed. King’s was very disappointing. Chinese families and couples occupied the other tables in the restaurant and seemed to be dining with pleasure. Did HG/BSK order the wrong dishes? Is King’s worth another visit? Only good Chinese food HG/BSK ever ate on PEI was at Summer Kitchen in Charlottetown. It lasted about one year before closing. There are a number of Chinese (and Japanese) groceries on PEI and a growing Asian population. So, why no good Chinese restaurants?
