The Best of Everything

You're Gonna Love Our Brunch!

IT'S CONSIDERED
among the most copied
Oriental restaurants in
Michigan . . . This is one of
the reputations accumu-
lated by Great Wall . . . nes-
tled in the Drakeshire
Shopping Plaza on Grand
River near Drake.
Ordering from the menu,
it becomes just a very good
Chinese restaurant . . .
serving excellent Can-
tonese cuisine . . . But de-
viating from the menu and
enjoying delicacies not on it
. . . nor on very many . . . if
any . . . other Oriental res-
taurants . . . is an experi-
ence in culinary delight .. .

Sensational marinated salads...steaming soup...bagels and all the
fixins' (like lots & lotsa lox)...bountiful breakfast favorites, including
blintzes and eggs...hot entrees to delight lunch lovers...delectable
desserts...the seemingly never-ending selection speaks for itself!
The Michigan Inn's Sunday Brunch. Sumptuous. Satisfying. Savor it
this Sunday.

and it isn't too much more
expensive.
Great Wall seats about
200 . . . with red padded
seats at tables . . . and black
padded booths . . . Six heavy
iron chandeliers with six
lamps on each hang from
the ceiling . . . plus a center
Oriental light fixture ..
Almost all the light fixtures
. . . large or small . . . are the
same, which takes away
that hodgepodge look you
might see at so many res-
taurants . . . Its gracious-
looking walls are papered
with a soft striped type of
grass cloth . . . There is no
pretention about Great
Wall . . . it is intimately
plain.
One side of the room
can be completely
enclosed for private ban-
quets . . . Red carpeting is
throughout the restau-
rant . . . wood paneling
surrounds the back of the
cocktail service bar .. .
After eight years, Great
Wall finally got its liquor
license in 1980.
It had been open since Oc-
tober 1972 . . . the first time
Henry Lum had a place of
his own . . . after working
and managing places for
others.
Henry is a master at or-
dering gourmet dishes for
his customers . . . All he has
to know is what they like .. .
beef, seafood or poultry ..
and voila! . . . they'll have
one of the most sumptuous
Oriental dining adventures
it has been their gastronom-
ical pleasure to experience.
We had Henry do this for
us ... and it was ajoyful trip
down tasty lane.
Our waitress, Judy
Lee, enhanced the great
meals with her pretty
smile, efficient ways and
courteous service.
Before the meal started,
wide metal containers of
plum sauce and mustard
were set on the table . . . not
little, half-filled dishes .. .
Also deep-fried, thin noodle
chip snacks.
Sizzling rice soup origi-
nated at Great Wall . . . and
that's what we had . . . a
large bowl set in the table's
center for self-serve .. .
amply filled with mush-
rooms, chicken, bean spr-
outs, green peppers, water
chestnuts, etc. . . . Try those
snack chips in the soup, too
. . . it's a delicious treat.
Something new again .. .
called Woo-Kok . . . not yet
served anywhere else .. .
looking almost like an egg
roll . . . but curved oblong
shape and very crispy.
Then steamed shrimp
dumplings . . . made wtih
no oil ... strictly steamed
... For extra taste, a little
soybean sauce can be
used . . . Besides being
very tasty, the dumplings
are made with artwork
outline.
Next came the soy sauce
ribs . . . with a flavor that
veritably melts in your
mouth . . . so meaty and
tender, too . Great Wall
has four types of ribs . .

also sesame ribs, special
fried ribs and regular bar-
becue ribs (only one on reg-
ular menu).
Huge special shrimp were
with large mushrooms,
Chinese vegetables, etc.
Very tender beef came
with a parsnip or turnip-
like vegetable that is very
big in China . . . light and
crunchy.
One of Henry's most
copied dishes , is his
cashew chicken for
which Great Wall is
famous . . . with chunks
of chicken, cashew nuts,
green peppers, onions,
etc. ... Needless to say,
this went quite fast.
Another beef was brought
by Judy . . . with a tender,
exotic taste . . . fresh, crisp
broccoli, bean sprouts and
mushrooms.
And who could leave the
Great Wall without having
its very noted Peanut But-
ter Sundae? . . . Henry and
staff mix all their own five
sauces (almond, chocolate,
peanut butter, cherry and
butterscotch) . . . This one
has great note . . . hot fudge
mixed with peanut butter
. . . placed over vanilla and
chocolate ice cream, topped
by a cherry . . . Dr. Larry
Haber joins the multitude of
those who take home
peanut butter sauce from
Great Wall.
You might call the cook-
ing at Great Wall . . . Can-
tonese, Szechuan, Manda-
rin . . . and Lum . . . The
three province categories
are prevalent . . . as is Hen-
ry's fertile mind for new
concoctions that tingle taste
buds.
Many people from out
of town come here and
ask how they get to Great
Wall . . . having heard
such raves about it .. .
much like Detroit's finest
American restaurants.
Henry was born in De-
troit . . . on Temple and Sec-
ond . . . He went to Hong
Kong 22 years ago . . . came
back with wife Kit, who as-
sists him in their restau-
rant.
Everything served by
Judy was so delicious we
didn't want to do anything
to alter the tastes . . . not
even add one grain of rice to
take up a teensy-weensy
spot in our tummies where
room would still be left for a
Great Wall delicacy.
None of the things we had
are on the regular Great
Wall menu . . . We ordered
as so many others do . . . by
telling Henry to do his not-
on-the-menu thing.
Henry and Kit are a
couple of humble, modest
and hard-working people
... Food, service and
cleanliness are their
number one assets at
Great Wall restaurant .. .
where everyone is
treated like an „emperor
or empress.
Great Wall as a distinc-
tion . . . two faces . . . usual
Chinese dishes seen on
other menus . . . and gour-
