Lunch at Peking Restaurant, Williamsburg VA
By this time I have been in the US for almost 3 weeks. Not once did I look for Chinese food. I’ve tried Chinese food in Virginia/DC before and honestly it wasn’t worth it.

Lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao
I will interrupt my US restaurants tour with a review of our lunch yesterday.

I didn’t really want to eat there yet since it justContinue reading “Lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao”

The last time I went to Golden Bay was almost a year ago on it’s opening day. I commented that the service was horribly slow due to first day glitches which was to be expected.

Shanghai Dumpling at Taipei 101
With all those options in Taipei 101’s fast food we unanimously chose to eat lunch at Shanhai Dumpling. It was one of the few small restaurants with their own seating at the huge food court. We were curious to know if the soupy Shanghai dumplings or xiao long bao were good. The dumplings were justContinue reading “Shanghai Dumpling at Taipei 101”
