Tan Cang Newport Seafood

So the wife and I decided to have lobster for Valentine's Day. Rather than cooking one and eating it american style... you know with drawn butter and all that jazz. We took a trip to Little Saigon.

This place serves it up Chinese/Vietnamese Style. It's what you would see at a Chinese or Vietnamese wedding. But, since it was just the bosslady and I, we ordered a "small" lobster.
The sauce is filled with shallots, green onion, that soy sauce glaze (if you've been to any true chinese joint... you know what I mean), and lobster roe.

They give you the entire lobster... not just the tail like in those American joints. Some of you probably had lobster on Valentine's day as well. Let me guess, it was boiled then served with butter. Sorry, but our lobster was better than yours... nah nah nah nah nah!!!

After we devoured it, we figured that we were done. The waiter informed us that we were suppose to take the remaining sauce and lobster roe and mix it with the steamed rice. Here's our waiter making my breakfast for the next morning.

Here's the kicker, they only charge $12.00 a pound!!!
How much was your Valentine's Dinner Lobster?
