| - I remember standing at the window as a chubby little kid, completely mesmerized by the Chinese fried dough sticks (you tiao) being made, staring for 10-15 minutes at a time, probably drooling...but for whatever reason never actually ate at the darn place.
Fast forward 20 years and here we are yet again, still staring, still drooling. And this chubby little kid is going in to eat ALL the things this time around. From standing in the line extending out the door, you can enjoy the sight of exhibit B, where the master chef with fingertips of steel makes rice rolls (cheung fun) on a piping hot steamer with his literal bare hands, which was even more fun to watch than the frying you tiao.
AND DAYUM. The cheung fun and you tiao DID NOT disappoint. To live up to an expectation 20 years in the making, you better bet that is some SOLID stuff. Definitely come for this.
...and stay for the excellent soymilk.
The congee was good. The fact that it was being brought out in vats to feed the hungry masses must speak to its demand. I personally prefer the Congee Queen congee over this one, but this has a more straightforward, simple, home-y flavor to it. I can see its appeal.
