The dry fried chicken wings at Tenglong Chinese Restaurant could definitely give the number one DFCW restaurant in the city a run for its money. They’re big and crispy and saucy (but not too saucy). This along with everything else I had, was excellent. Check it out soon while it’s still new before a crowd [...]

I’ve visited Chef Ma three times within a month. Its Chinese name is 樂樂天, which literally translates to “happy days”, which is how it makes me feel. Eating here feels like eating in a ghetto mall in Asia. The restaurant is inside of an old, small Chinese mall, and there are no walls separating this [...]

My original plan was to eat next door, but I got there too late in the afternoon and they were closed, so I checked out Hui Tou Xiang Noodles House instead. It was definitely a good find. They make awesome pan-fried dumplings; awesome for two reasons: the top and bottoms are crispy while the inside [...]

Sometimes, especially during a holiday when it’s basically an unspoken tradition for every Chinese family to eat dim sum together, you just don’t want to wait an hour to be seated. Here’s Crab Island Seafood Restaurant to the rescue. It’s located in the St. Francis Square plaza, which is also pretty much a plaza that [...]

So there’s a new Asian dessert spot in San Mateo. It’s called Sweet Dreams Garden and it has all of my favorite Hong Kong and Taiwanese snacks – aloe drinks, egg puffs, milk tea, honey toast, shaved snow, sticky rice, sago … You name it and it’s there. My two favorite desserts, however, are honey [...]

Another day in December, another day to celebrate my birthday, this time at The Kitchen in Millbrae. They don’t only serve good dim sum during the day time – their dinner menu is excellent too. They serve regional items that you can’t find in just any Chinese restaurant, like their cold cucumber with garlic and [...]

The roasted Peking duck at Duck House (aka Lu Jing Di) is hands down one of the best I’ve had. The duck is deboned, the meat is lean yet juicy, and the crispy, golden brown skin has been stripped away of all fat as well. This shows that you don’t need fat to make a [...]

Not gonna lie, the food at Chef’s China Kitchen wasn’t outstanding nor too memorable, but it’s homey there, and it’s the type of place that I’d default to with my family if we lived in the area. I liked their stewed pork rice/lu rou fan (滷肉飯) – they give a lot of pork and sauce [...]

I’ve been eating at Savoy Kitchen for years now and I still gotta admit, they make the best Hainan chicken rice (海南雞飯) that I’ve ever had in the states. The chicken is tender, and even more, it’s deboned! (I know some people who just can’t stand the site of bones in their food.) The ginger [...]

The thousand layer pancake (抓餅) is one of my favorite street food in Taiwan, and it’s pretty hard to find here in the Bay Area. Fortunately, Joy Restaurant (名廚) in Foster City actually does a good job at it. It’s not as light as the ones in Taiwan, but on the bright side, it’s crispier [...]
