Hey Daval: the portions were actually quite small. The camera makes it look big. The first course would fit in the palm of your hand and have room the spare. The plate it's on is quite small. The mussels look like a lot but they are quite small inside the shells (unlike the plump ones we get in Canada).
Jorge, the dou miao is usually available in my local shop, so I don't know if it's in season right now. I ended up going with the Rose Champagne (I had a bottle on the shelf) and was going to go with a Chianti Classico for the final course. In the end we just skipped the red and stuck with the Champagne for the whole meal.
Thanks Shani.
Hey Snowy... I was really proud of my son. He did a great job.
