Shanghai River was delicious, but I was really looking forward to the dim sum since that’s all people talk about when it comes to Vancouver. I recently had an argument with Weeners about how disappointing the dim sum was compared to my very favorite dim sum restaurant in Rosemead, Seafood Harbor. She has almost certainly…

Shanghai River
Our next dining destination in Vancouver was going to be West. We thought one fancy dinner would be a nice highlight for the weekend. When it came down to it, we felt a bit foolish not eating more Chinese food while in Vancouver. I mean, it’s called “Hong-Couver” right??? So at the last minute we…
Kintaro Ramen
Every city has its “Bests.” Best burger, best hot dog, best pizza, best brunch, best Italian, best sushi. I think you get my drift. Our short getaway to Vancouver was certainly an attempt to eat the best the city had to offer. With its reputation for all that is Asian, mainly of “Ching Chong Chang”…
Otafuku
Otafuku is just another one of the MANY Japanese restaurants populating the South Bay. They call themselves a noodle house serving udon, soba, and the like but then they also have dons, skewers, sashimi. It’s confusing. We came for lunch and I would have been pleased had I followed the cardinal rules of restaurant dining…
Shabu Shabu Bar
Orange County seems to have more tasty food options these days. We decided to try a different shabu shabu place because we usually just go to California Shabu Shabu which typically has quite a wait, but this other spot in Santa Ana seemed pretty popular on Yelp. It was a Saturday night but there wasn’t…
Michelle’s Pancakes
Michelle’s Pancakes is a restaurant that’s been around for a few years I think, but the reviews on Yelp were never that impressive. It’s located in the same plaza as Luscious Dumpling, so maybe it gets some overflow from them. When I attempt Luscious Dumpling, I just make the commitment to wait and wait and…
Mee Sen
I can confidently say that as far as Asian food in Portland goes, most of it is pretty average. One large exception to this is the Thai food. Are there a lot of Thai people in Portland? I don’t think so, at least according to Verde, but sometimes his information isn’t always that accurate. Thai…
Sushirrito
I love that people are constantly trying to innovate in the food world. People coming up with new twists on old ideas. People mashing up cuisines from different parts of the world. It’s fun to discover all these new things. I wouldn’t exactly say these innovators are always so successful. Sushirrito seems like it would…
PPQ Dungeness Island
I apologize for my long break from the blogger world. The holidays left me with little time to blog. I was flying back and forth from Portland to LA during my time off, and when I get to LA all I do is eat and hang out without much time for blogging. Plus, a lot…
Hainan Chicken & Rice
Dumpling Man really likes Hainan Chicken & Rice. It’s a pretty simple dish that I usually cheat to make since I never wanted to attempt poaching my own chicken and making my own rice. So I’ve used various versions of this pre-made seasoning in a jar over the years, and Dumpling Man has always been pleased. …
Hong Kong Lounge
So after many wonderful meals in San Francisco (Gary Denko, Ferry Building, Bottega), the H.o.P. was honestly itching for something else. The H.o.P always gravitates back to our one true love, the complex multi faceted cuisine of Asia. What better way to satisfy that craving than with some good ole dim sum. Hands down, Seafood Harbour in Rosemead has got…
Du Kuh Bee
Aside from dumplings, Portland is also lacking good Korean food. I’m sure nothing compares to LA’s Koreatown except Korea itself. It’s amazing how Korean food used to be something so foreign and weird tasting to something I really love. I guess it’s cuz I have a penchant for stinky things and Korean food is full…
