Sweet Butter Toast

Hmm…food, travel, books, and just random stuff that I like.

Thank you Louise for writing about your dining experience at Hui Tou Xiang and then accompanying me for my first meal there. We ordered a cold dish of marinated squid (小魷魚), pork soup dumplings (小籠包), the Hui Tou pork (回頭豬肉), and a pork and leek pancake (豬肉韭菜盒子). On top of serving good food, the restaurant staff were also very friendly, which is rare in a Chinese restaurant located in the San Gabriel Valley. Is it weird that I didn’t order any noodles? I think so. I’m going to have to go back very soon to try the noodles.

Today I had lunch at Fortune Dumpling with Lena. Fortune Dumpling used to be 元寶小館 in Rosemead (or was it El Monte?). I haven’t been there since I was in college and had completely forgotten about this place until a friend mentioned it to me last week. Lena and I ordered three plates of dumplings, a plate of thousand year egg and tofu, and an order of beef wraps.
