          B.A.G.z was formed as a way for the 4 of us to get out and try something new and different.  We go out once a month, each taking turns to choose the place.  We had put together a list of restaurants to try.  The unwritten rule is "no chain restaurants," but who knows where we'll end up. That's the fun of it all. 
          The first official outing of the B.A.G.z was in December at Lao's Lucky Chinese. This is a great little place, tucked in the middle of downtown Morden.  The atmosphere is very friendly and fairly quiet, even when the place is busy. The service is good -- attentive and helpful.
          For starters, we tried the fried wontons and the beef lettuce wraps.  We were all surprised by how good the wraps were.  Much tastier than you would expect from such a simple looking dish.  The starters were a true indicator of the meal to come.  Everything is very freshly prepared, not at all the greasy fare one finds at so many Chinese restaurants.  We had ordered dishes to share -- Roast Pork Egg Foo Yung, Seafood Wor Bar, Deluxe Lo Mein, and another dish we can't remember at the moment.  The fresh ingredients really stand out in the food here.  Looks simple, tastes amazingly good!
          One of the B.A.G.z had to take her family back for another visit, that's how impressed we were. We would recommend Lao's Lucky Chinese for families, or just a casual outing with friends.  The variety on the menu is sure to please everyone and you will definitely get Chinese cuisine with a fresh authentic flair. If you are lucky enough to be local to Morden, be sure to pick up their extensive take-out menu on your way out, and enjoy!
