| - I've concluded that I'm pretty Asian... as in - love asian food, having constant asian cravings, like my hole-in-the-walls, set meals, and paying a super cheap price!
But there are so many types of asian foods and cuisines that I can never get it all in one place............ UNTIL NOW.
It was my birthday.... and i wanted to make sure I ate somewhere that had everything I wanted.... which included:
1. Baked Pork Chop rice
2. dim Sum
3. Red Bean Ice.
Seriously... where can i find that? Not getting 1 & 3 at a dim sum restaurant..... maybe 3 @ a bubble tea place, and 1 would be at a traditionall chinese diner.... and then my mom suggests Richmond court!
First of all - I always go to the one at times square... their pork chop rice is THE BOMB.... it's the only one I go to when I'm at home. There's something about their meat - the way it's cooked, the spices, the sauce.. I don't know but it's addictive... she suggests the Bur Oak location and tells me that they have 1, 2, and 3 at the SAME PLACE! SOLD!!!!!!!!!!
I walked in at noon, scared that it was going to be packed on a saturday, but luckily there were still a few tables available. There was even a large flat screen tv with the world cup playing.
I ordered all the goods - the baked pork chop was everything a more. Large pieces of soft, and chewy meat on a bed of tomatoey rice. Steamed dim sum came out and the shrimp dumpling were large and chewy. I have to admit that the rice noodles were overly thick and too tough, but I didn't care.
The red bean ice was creamy and soooooo satisfying. everyone was crazy full and the bill came to about $8 / person - Cha-ching :)
Perfect Birthday Meal! yum yum yum yum yum!
