		<description>Expertise might be stretching things a little! :)  If I recall they have two types of smoked duck, one tea smoked.  I&#039;m sure you will write a review for YHO, but do let me know how you fare there.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the info, your expertise is really appreciated.  I&#039;ll definitely make sure to ask for their special menu if I end up going.  Smoked duck sounds amazing.</description>

		<description>I have mixed opinions to be honest.  We have probably dined there about four times. 

Worthy of note is that they have some really unique items on their &#039;special&#039; menu, certainly for SLC at any rate.  The head chef has a swathe of awards from his native Szechuan area of China.  Make sure you ask for both menus.  That way you can get access to all the authentic stuff, and not just pick from sweet and sour or black bean sauce.

Some of the smoked duck dishes I have had there have been excellent.

That said, the last few times we went I found most of the food exceptionally salty.  To the point that it really affected my palate.

I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s something common with Szechuan cooking, heck most of us are used to tastes of Cantonese fare.

I haven&#039;t been back since starting this website over a year ago.  I&#039;ll certainly be back at some point to see how things have progressed there.  It&#039;s inexpensive, so if your in the area it could at least be worth a look in.</description>

		<description>I suppose it was a little grainy at parts, kind of like cookies and cream ice cream, but mine had some pleasantly substantial chunks of pumpkin cheesecake in it too.  I don&#039;t mind chunky ice cream personally, but I can see how it might seem odd, especially in shake form.  Anyway, I was thinking about checking out Szechuan Garden in SLC sometime soon, have you heard anything about it?</description>

		<description>Thanks for stopping by Courtney.  As for the pie, really it just sounds odd to me.  Isn&#039;t it kinda grainy all blended up?</description>

		<description>Pish posh.  How does pie and ice cream not go together? ;) I adore this site by the way.  I will definitely have to give the Hong Kong Tea House a try.</description>
