An and Watanabe are going old-school: the menu begins with crispy prawn toast followed by hot & sour soup with egg roll. The main course is a family-style feast of sweet and sour pork, almond chicken, chop suey and fried rice. The meal also includes dessert, cocktails, and beer.

Proceeds from the evening go to The Rainier Women’s Hotel. There are only a few seats left, so pounce now! If you’ve never been to a Greasy Spoon dinner before, here are a few shots taken at previous ones…
