Chef Leu's House

Chef Hu Shung Leu and his wife Nancy had years of experience in the restaurant business and decided it was time to have a restaurant of their own. The Shelburne location was ideal; it had been an Italian restaurant and there weren't any other Asian restaurants in the vicinity at the time. Nancy is known for her warm and enthusiastic greeting to customers and Chef Leu is in the kitchen supervising the preparation of all the dishes. Their daughter Louise, now in high school, has grown up working with her parents at the restaurant, taking on more and more responsibilities of her own. Besides helping her mother greet customers, she enjoys working on nightly chef's specials and generates colorful menu inserts with descriptions and prices of special offerings.

Chef Leu's is known for a varied menu featuring well-prepared dishes from the outstanding regional cuisines of China and Southeast Asia. One of my favorites is Shrimp with Garlic Sauce or Yu Hsiang Style Shrimp. Yu Hsiang means "aromatic fish," a Szechuan style dish of shrimp water chestnuts and green peppers in a sauce combining sugar and vinegar with garlic and chili sauce to create a unique and subtle sweet and sour flavor. My son enjoys Chef Leu's version of General Gau's Chicken deep fried crispy cubes of chicken coated with water chestnut flour and eggs and cooked in a tangy hot ginger sauce, a great dish for kids.
