Occasion: We seriously went on a journey trying to find this place. With my mediocre Mandarin and horrible sense of direction in a completely foreign country, we finally found this place! So worth the journey. It's a popular place for locals and tourists, so make sure you get there before or after lunch hour, otherwise, you'll be fighting for a seat. It's not a big place, so you might have to wait around for a seat until someone leaves. Turnover rate is quick, as most people just eat and leave, unlike how we do it in the states, where we sit and chit chat for hours. December 2011
Fish ball soup
There were about 10 things on the menu, I was cold and it happened to one of the items that I could completely read off of their menu, so I ordered it. I knew I wanted a soup of some sort to warm me up, so that's what I got. I couldn't ask for recommendations, since it was a long line and everyone seemed to know what to order. I was too afraid to hold up the line since it seemed that everyone was there for their lunch break. It was a simple soup with delicious fish balls in a cilantro soup broth.
Fried dumplings
Two orders
So worth the journey to come here and try these fried dumplings. It was a fried bun that was topped with green onions and sesame filled with porky goodness. The bun was fried with a crispy skin. We dipped it into a vinegar soysauce that we each prepared. Everyone had at least one order of this. The guy next to me had two to himself. They're cheap and absolutely delicious. It's nothing fancy, but cheap and tasty.
