Dot Com Shanghai - Missing Pho Edition
written by John Chow on May 17th, 2008
Normally, today would be the day I meet up with the other members of the Dot Com crew for the weekly Dot Com Pho get together. However, since I’m in Shanghai and they’re back in Richmond, we’re going to be doing a Dot Com head to head. While the Richmond crew is doing their normal Dot Com Pho, I’ve decided, in the spirit of oneupmanship, to do a Dot Com Shanghai Spring.
Attending Dot Com Shanghai were myself, Sarah, Sally, my mom and a couple we met at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. For the first edition of Dot Com Shanghai, we have to get rich is glorious, lobster disrespecting, root of all evil, eaten alive and a whole lot more. Let see the Richmond Dot Com Pho crew top this!

That wasn’t Dot Com anything… you didn’t talk about technology, the internet… nothing. You just went out to eat! Boring!!

Reply to this commentMore like a lobster pho.
Reply to this commentGreat Lobster John! That’s rerally an amazing lifestyle of a dotcom mogul? hehehe

Reply to this commentNo way could I eat something that’s still moving.
That was pure evil.
Reply to this commentHaha seriously, gross
Reply to this commentHaha I won’t expect seeing you on Fear Factor anytime soon
Reply to this commentIf it’s lower down the food chain than me then I have no problems eating it.
Reply to this commentIt is moving! arrgh

Reply to this commentwow, it’s delicious…
Reply to this commentLooking at seafood displayed like that grosses me out already, but having the antennas move is nasty…
I definitely wouldn’t order that meal myself.
Reply to this commentLooks fantastic, can’t beat the still moving part for freshness…
Reply to this commentHaha this meal looks great. Maybe you start a monthly “Dot Com somewhere in the world”

Reply to this commentJohn.. Hope you’re not reborn as a Lobster.
He’ll be reborn as a Panda. It will take everything he’s got to avoid his evil nature because if he gives in, he’d end up killing himself

Reply to this commentJohn, Once again you have shown us your a marketing master!
Reply to this commenthaha, the poor lobster! How much did dinner cost?
Reply to this commentJohn Chow came into the lobster’s house! Disrespected his whole family!
Reply to this commentthat is something else John
Reply to this commentGeeez lobster
Reply to this commentI don’t why but I don’t like this type of food at all… have fun over there!
Reply to this commentJohn, I’m great fan of Chinese food, next to Indian food, but don’t you think eating a lobster while it’s still alive kind of cruel. I know the animal is going through tremendous pain. But i see the evilness
Reply to this commentI thought it was in ice to numb the pain. Besides it was a big lobster, I’m sure he had a long and happy life before meeting John.
Reply to this commentJohn, im a great fan of food too, but don’t you think that lobster was in tremendous pain? I can see ur evilness
Reply to this commentThat lobster dish really is unique. I have never heard of a lobster dish where the lobster is kept alive. That really is the root of all evil. BTW, where did you meet the couple?

Reply to this commentYuck! Talk about being evil… I don’t know which is the lesser of two evils; throwing rocks at innocent panda’s or eating live lobsters!
Reply to this commentI don’t know if I would be willing to eat anything that can still fight back when I pick at it. Perhaps next time you should try cooking your food? lol
Reply to this commentMan, that looked really good. However, if you like some good old US pork barbecue ribs… Check out my latest post Grilling With the “Master” of the Grill I don’t think you can top these ribs John.
Reply to this commentNo numbers and nice pictures
It’s the perfect menu
