Chinese restaurants, says Janes, are a dime a dozen and can be seen on just about every block in most major cities. But Szechuan cooking, not for the faint-of-tongue, is a regional specialty. "According to Janes, the Wangs have observed the growing need for a spicy change in the culinary tastebuds of many Detroit area residents. The Wangs have expanded their restaurant into a modern, sophisticated place that can seat nearly 100 guests and serve them with the likes of Kung-Pao chicken, hot and sour soup and scallops in Szechuan chili sauce. "King Lim's in Auburn Heights features Mandarin, Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine, each with its own distinctive character and flavor. The favorites of the brave souls whose brows don't sweat are spicy crab claws or scallops, stir-fried with hot garlic black bean sauce and vegetables, crystal shrimp in hot sauce cooked with a special house recipe to give the dish a transparent ap- pearance with shredded green onions, carrots and garlic hot sauce. For the faint-hearted, dishes like Loong Fown Gai Kow, tender chicken and lobster meat cooked with Chinese vegetables, are recommended. "Ching Tao Palace in Clin- ton Township was voted by Channel 7 viewers as their favorite Chinese restaurant. The menu offers 75 different dishes . . . (There's one now also in Farrell Shopping Plaza on Southfield.) "Other critics' choices are Phoenicia in Birmingham and Sultan's in West Bloom- field for authentic Middle Eastern food from appetizer to rice pudding with honey and nuts. Start off with taboulee on crisp romaine let- tuce or hummus on pita wedges. Move on to shish kaf- ta, stuffed eggplant, or a variety of exotic lamb or fish concoctions. "Ristorante di Maria in West Bloomfield is a tiny hideaway where tables are scarce. But if you can't get in, the aroma draws you to want to try again. A favorite is the spiedini a la Maria appetizer, lively with lemon and romano cheese. The fork-tender veal is prepared in a number of classic styles and the egg- plant parmesan is top notch. "Ah Wok in Novi is still one of the most innovative Chinese restaurants anywhere. Don't just settle for the menu. Ask for specials or let them surprise you. You can't go wrong. Some popular items are salt-baked scallops, shirmp, a velvety shark fin soup and sirloin steak stuffed with oyster paste. You can also try a continental presen- tation of abalone slices with back black mushrooms and bok choy hearts. "Some brave diners enjoy sweating through the hottest stuff at the Indian eatery Moti Mahi in Royal Oak. If you don't want to cough and wheeze, milder dishes are available. Lassi, a creamy whipped yogurt drink will put out the fire. "From the exotic to the down-home, the posh to the prosaic, pate to pizza, phea- sant under glass to pastrami on rye, there's no shortage of eating spots in the Detroit area. They run the gamut from the gourmet, liquor- serving cafe to the quickie drive-in and everything in between. "Fads in foods come and go. Places to be seen are ever- changing along with the see- saw economy. But the good restaurants survive through it all and keep their captive audiences.
