| - long story short, to really like this place, you just need to know whats good and whats not and avoid the ones that are not . some items on the menu are drool worthy . my favorites ! some others ... are just the opposite .
my bf lives near by AND its cheap (w big portions!) so we're here pretty often . i always tend to order same things, in rotation . here are my favorites .
- FRIED RICE WITH STEWED PORK & EGG . seriously . you NEED to try this . its like my favorite fried rice in the world . its not like your regular fried rice . it comes in a wooden bucket, covered in tin foil as if its been steamed (i think it is ?) with shredded lettuce on top . its so flavorful & moist and the crunchiness of the lettuce complements the rice perfectly . consistent EVERYtime . i promise you wont be regretting it . BEST thing my bf ever picked . EVER !
- SOUP FILLED DUMPLINGS . soup filled dumplings are my fav dumplings ever . they do it well here . not quite ding tai fung but just as good as asian legend's . its on the menu as steamed mini pork dumplings under dimsum section . i dunno about anyone else, but i wouldve never known that these are soup filled dumplings . they should make it clear so ppl like me dont miss out !!
- JULIENNE CUCUMBERS W VERMICELLI SHEETS . if you want to satisfy your foodie tastebuds w a taste out of your comfort zone, get this . i THINK this kind of taste like a korean dish ive had before but i cant really figure out what . AND i dont know why this is called what its called . it makes it sounds like cucumber is the main ingredient . instead, it should emphasize on its liquidity vinegary soy sauce w the peanut sauce . you mix it up all together and party in yo mouth ! its a pretty bold flavor so its perfect for foodie tastebuds !
- BRAISED BEEF NOODLE SOUP . sometimes when i wake up, i have an uncomfortable feeling in my stomache as if i had a glass of coke as soon as i woke up . thats when brunch just dont cut it . i need something warm and liquidy like congee or .. beef noodle soup ! they do it sooo well here; SOO much beef, HUGE portion, even bigger flavor . i hate me bland beef noodle soup . it tastes like it would be from a thick, dense saucey soup, but its not . its liquidy, light, drinkable soup . Ahhmazing .
P.S im pretty impressed by their website . this is a small mainland chinese restaurant . its not often a small chinese place has a website w its menu online !
P.P.S they ALWAYS have just for laugh on tv on rotation . weird . but good weird .
