What's hot? The upcoming red hot valentine's day specials

For those who like it hot - not your date or the weather, but food - these Red Hot Specials are sure to add some spice to your life.

In honor of Valentine's Day, Big Bowl will be serving a menu of Red Hot Specials to heat up the holiday form Feb. 9 to 16. Start with Executive Chef Marc Bernard's hand-made fiery shrimp dumplings filled with Gulf shrimp and pork. They're steamed and then drizzled with a sauce of Thai chiles, rice vinegar, ginger, toasted sesame oil and soy. Great for you or a group to share.

The Chinese see fish as a symbol of bounty and good luck so if you're out to impress, order the Thai hot pepper fish with fiery Thai chiles, basil and roasted peanuts on Thai fried rice. The type of fish each day depends on the freshest catch from our fabulous seafood purveyors.

For those with a penchant for the dramatically spicy, try the kung pao chicken buried-in-chiles, a dish that hails from the Sichuan province of China. Chunks of all natural chicken is wok fried with a spicy sauce of chile paste, bean sauce, vinegar, soy and loads of garlic and then covered with seared red chiles.

If there's a call for dessert, the answer is always chocolate for Valentine's Day. Big Bowl obliges with a  a classic hot chocolate mousse modernized with an infusion of Asian chiles. It comes topped with fresh whipped cream.
