On one of our last evenings in the US, we went to Dallas with my mother, where we met my brother and his wife for dinner and a show. Dinner was at Howard Wang's, a somewhat upscale restaurant near the show venue. The food was good, but, to my sensibility, overpriced. There was definitely a surtax for atmosphere and location. Andreas loved his satay, and my tom kha soup was good. Andreas also had chicken fried rice, which he nearly finished. I had gingered beef, which was also good, but not spectacular.
Our show was the Shen Yun Chinese opera/ballet show. It's beautiful, yes, and traditional, but if you go - be forewarned that it is also a propaganda piece for the Falun Gon movement. They didn't allow us to take photos, either! There was an imaginative and effective-ish use of a giant video screen at the back of the stage.
