Trey Yuen Restaurant Review:
Two architects --- one American and one Asian --- combined their aesthetic visions and re-created a Chinese palace to serve as an upscale restaurant. Trey Yuen, with its regal ambience is the result, while the menu adheres to tradition but throws in a few local seafood staples. Shellfish, especially soft-shell crab and shrimp, are flattered by any number of sauces shimmering on the blue-porcelain plates. Try the reliably fresh, deep-fried trout glazed with the peppery, bittersweet flavors of the signature tong cho sauce. Its rival for supremacy is duck, a partly boned half-bird smoked with tea leaves and deep-fried to a pink, moist crispness. End the meal with the traditional lotus banana dessert. The wine list is adequate for the cuisine, but not terribly diverse. Some tables provide views of a waterfall, an Asian garden with koi ponds and sculpted trees. Also located at 600 N. Causeway Blvd., Mandeville, 985-626-4476.
