One of the only things that I miss about my hometown is the Peking hot soup at Kam Shing (aka hot and sour soup). I haven't found any place in either Montreal or NY that matches the taste. I've been eating here since it was at the original location across the street when I was a kid, and every order included that soup! It comes in huge containers for take-out but I graduated to my own one as an adult and eat it as a meal. Seriously, this soup has a unique sourness and consistency that makes it addictive. I miss it so much, I wish my family could fed-ex it to me.
Other items I love: spring rolls, general tao chicken (doesn't taste like any other tao either), sweet n sour fish filet, and 2 kinds of mushrooms with snow-peas.
I miss you Kam Shing!
