Good Fortune **
Wheaton , ¢

Lovers of authentic Chinese cooking should remember that the best Chinese restaurants in Rockville and Gaithersburg are Shanghai-Taiwanese, while the best in Wheaton and Silver Spring are Cantonese, emphasizing the varied and challenging cuisine of Hong Kong. Good Fortune, with a menu of some 200 items, is one of the most consistent sources for good Chinese cooking in the Maryland suburbs.

The varied fare includes whole flounder with the meat removed and lightly stir-fried and the skeleton deep-fried until all but the backbone is edible. The steamed rockfish with ginger and scallions is also very good. Both seafood and meat casserolessuch as oysters and ginger, or beef and eggplantare another treat. Other choice dishes are scallops with black-bean sauce; baked salted chicken with a sauce of minced ginger and garlic; braised boneless duck with Eight Treasures, a melange of seafood and vegetables; and stir-fried vegetables, including both watercress and spinach with garlic.

Excellent Cantonese dim sum is served for lunch seven days a week.
