Sosoo gai might like something a bit lighter than the normal Chinese fare. The lettuce was fresh and crispy, and the chicken was great. The secret dressing they use is tart, yet sweet and perfect for this salad. The shrimp fried rice is a specialty at Bill Lee’s. It’s a great mix of rice and shrimp and I find it makes a nice meal on its own. I often order it to go. Ray: I agree with Don. The sosoo gai (hot chicken salad) was a surprise, as I had never tried it before. The salad was made with shredded lettuce, sliced almond, crispy noodles and strips of fried chicken. The salad dressing was served on the side and is a Bill Lee’s house specialty. Our waitress Van was hesitant to divulge the dressing recipe, but he did tell us it is made with sesame oil, hot mustard and vinegar. It was amazing. I had to have a second plate. The boneless sweet and sour chicken was lightly breaded and covered with a mild sweet sauce. You could actually taste more chicken than sauce, which was a treat because some restaurants overwhelm the chicken with sweet sauce. Gary: Ray is right. The boneless sweet and sour chicken was amazing! Succulent, juicy, plump chicken, lightly fried to perfection smothered in a very tangy and sweet sauce. Words can’t explain; you’ll just have to try it! With a few turns of the revolving table, I enjoyed dish after tasty dish. Hot chicken salad, shrimp que and shrimp fried rice were the other winners at the table. We finished with fortune cookies. Along with my lucky numbers, my fortune read “You are humorous and cheerful with good friends.” It’s remarkable how accurate those cookies can be. Here’s another prediction: Bill Lee’s, I’ll be back!
