San Francisco, CA 94112
Occasion: Saturday night dinner. We were too lazy to go out and eat so we ordered for delivery. 11.19.11
Beef Stew Noodles Soup
We all agreed that this was the best thing that we ordered. The handmade noodles are definitely the best I've ever had! I love the bouncy, springy, chewy texture of the noodles! The broth was pretty good and not too spicy and the meat was quite tender. I also like how they had the chinese relish in it, which adds a crunchy component to the dish.
Three Flavor Dumpling
We love ordering dumplings and I would probably say that this was one of the better dishes of the night. I still enjoyed it even though the skin was on the thicker side. I don't know what exactly it is about vinegar and dumplings, but they are delicious eaten together!
Steam House Special Bao Zi
We thought they were Xiao Long Baos, but nope! They were just steamed buns! Since I was expecting something completely different, these little buns were a disappointment. The buns were dry and the filling was mediocre.
Onion Pancake
The dough was more bready than I'd like for it to be. I usually like it more of a flaky dough instead of a bready dough, which results in drier pancake. The pancake from Taste of Formosa was so much better! Only good thing about this pancake over the Taste of Formosa one is that it's less greasy!
Beijing Noodles with Special Sauce
The sauce was was odd and not what we had all expected. It's not like the ZhaZhangMien Sauce that I'm familiar with from other Chinese restaurants or Korean restaurants. Though the sauce was just whatever, the noodles were perfect! You can tell that they're hand made, as they are springy, chewy and bouncy. There's nothing I enjoy more than home made noodles!
Szechuan Chicken
Delicious! Especially when we have low expectation of this dish. I didn't know what to expect and what it would come with, but I loved the baby corns and the watercrest in this dish because it definitely added texture and flavor to it. I was a bit hesitant of the spice level since it's a szechuan dish, but surprisingly I ended up really enjoying it. This was the second best dish of the night!
