Oops, that sounded a little more bad-tempered than I meant for it to.
Assume seriousness of intent, but many smileys to show that no offense
is taken, my conscience is clear and my heart is light.

Ob.review (short):  Went to Fu Shing last Wednesday night.  It's the new
Szechuan place in Pasadena on Colorado near Rosemead, in a weird sort of
pod mall in front of a new Days Inn.  

Ambience:  A somewhat hotel-restaurant look and feel to the place--sort
of garishly comfy, I guess

Service:  A little to the overly-attentive side, but good

Food:  Good!  We had three-flavor sizzling rice soup to begin with.  It
started out very tasty, and the flavor deepened and got richer as the soup
cooled.  We ordered the shrimp in garlic sauce and kung pao chicken (on the
theory that these are good dishes for determining the quality of a
Szechuan restaurant).  Both passed the test.  The shrimp were really nicely
cooked and very garlicky; the sauce was just spicy enough.  There were some
really wonderful big mushrooms in that dish as well.  The kung pao
chicken had none of those fatty chunks you sometimes find in it at bad
Chinese restaurants, and had the perfect amount of peanuts and vegetables.
Portions were large enough that two of us couldn't finish the food, and I
took home a sizable amount of the shrimp.

Price:  $34 covered soup, two dishes, rice, one beer and one glass of wine,
and two slightly-stale fortune cookies-- but the fortunes were great with 
"in bed" added.  :-)
