[...] This must be what Koji was saying about the sauce when he commented on the same dish I had in Liu’s. OK … I am learning something here [...]

The draw of Liu’s is the fried chicken leg set lunch, Ben. I used to frequent that place for just that dish but unfortunately, it has gone up in price many times since the original $5.95. I think it’s like $8.95 now or something, which is a bit much for what is essentially a fried chicken leg with some cabbage and rice. Still very good but the value is subpar to say the least.

for liu’s you need to have the deep fried chicken meal; thats what they’re primarily known for

if you like the oyster omelet you should try corner 23 on cambie and 23rd “on the corner lol”

classic TW oyster omelet always has the sauce on it, it’s a combination of miso, soy and ketchup. it’s not for some, but it’s always served on top. i’ve been there twice, overall, it’s not bad, but i do agree that their fried chicken is better. i think it’s a tough business, in that complex, their is also tapioca express which overlaps in food, but there is also at least 2 other taiwanese restaurants, both equally not spectacular. my wife is from taiwan, and she’s taken me to TW twice in the last 2 years and we have yet to come across a restaurant that is as good as what we can get off the streets of taiwan. the only TW restaurant that we like is Dinesty, which compares well against the Din Tai Fung in taipei.

I have been to Liu’s a couple of times when I was working in Richmond. Agreed about the beef noodle soup, nowhere near to Lao Shan Dong. But, the item I like about this place (and the one everybody usually orders) is the fried chicken meal. It has, if memory serves me right, three drumsticks, slit open in the middle so it cooks faster, with a hint of ginger and pepper. I would say the chicken has the taste/texture similar to that of chicken karaage.
