A couple of months back, the Missus requested Little Sheep for Her B-Day dinner. I took some photos as always, but never posted them. A couple of days ago, I got an email from one of my favorite FOYs (friends of yoso) who kiddingly dared me to do a hot pot post..... even though I enjoy spicy food on hot days, Sichuan Liang Mian, a good Koi Soi... man, hot pot would be pretty tough, for me. What about you?
Of course I'm expecting a comment from Ed from Yuma telling what he'd go for huo guo anytime, even after walking over cactus and tangling with gila monsters in the 120 degree Arizona heat running backwards uphill both ways..... (just joking Ed!)
Me on the other hand, I'm not so sure..... even though I know folks looove hot pot in Sichuan and other areas of China during summer.
Anyway, here's to hot pot, but maybe not on a week like we just had. I hope you enjoy the photos!

The Missus just peeked over my shoulder and told me, "why are you doing a post on Little Sheep, are you nuts???" He-he-he...maybe a bit crazy from the heat?
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
I was just there this past Tuesday for their AYCE ($20 on Tuesdays for dinner)! It was my first time and I had no idea what to order, so I got their lamb shoulder, lamb wontons, some greenery, the buckwheat noodles, prawns, squid, and tofu that never arrived. Any suggestions? I LOVED just about everything that they brought out, but the spicy broth was a little too spicy. I also saw people get dipping sauces, but I think I had to ask for it. Any advice for my next AYCE trip there?

Those pictures were great! Looks like it was a nice bday dinner. What were those wontons in the pics? Have you ever tried the winter melon there - it's one of the best items IMO
Happy belated bday to the Missus...

Nice to hear about the AYCE on Tuesday.
And I do not stomp around the desert when it's 120. I huddle inside listening to the hum of the AC.
And **News Flash** Yuma was officially named the hottest city in the nation by Weather Channel.

Had no idea they opened a Little Fat Sheep in SD. Putting it in my notes for my next trip below (I'm from LA) in case I get tired of Mexican food!

Hi NWF - One of the annoying things about LS is that they charge for dipping sauces....though according to them you shouldn't need those. We like the frozen tofu, watercress, winter melon, and various mushrooms aas well.
Thanks Nate!
Hi Faye - Yes, we like the wintermelon and watercress. They were out of both on this day.
Hi Ed - Lucky you!
Hi Miss Morsel - Oh my.... Little Sheep has been open since I believe around 2007.

I haven't been to Little Sheep in so long. I still smile (and get hungry) when I think about my first meal there with you and Cathy.
