Ok, procrastinating some work I hafta finish tonight, so I am starting a new thread.
For those of you who don’t know, there used to be a series on the food network with the same title. Chefs sharing their favorite dishes at other restaurants. I had to stop watching, it would make me ravenous.
Post the best thing you have ever eaten, the restaurant and why it’s so tasty to you.
I recently was debating with my sis on where is the best croissant in the Bay Area. I have no idea, so chime in please. I am a big morning bun fan btw.
Second ask, is about a dim sum dish. If you speak Cantonese, the dish is called Foo Pei Goorn ( the vowel is pronounced like the feminine of one in French ‘une’, with a soft ‘r’ at the end.). It is the dish that is traditionally stuffed with Jai (vegetarian With vermicelli, woodear and veggies), as it was eaten by monks, back in the day. But now you can get it with a shrimp filling. The filling is wrapped in a tofu skin and then either steamed (traditional) or deep fried. A friend who lives in SF cannot find a dim sum place that has the shrimp filling, deep fried.
If ya’ll know dim sum (take out only place is fine) place that has that dish, my friend would be very appreciative. I live in the east bay and my local dim sum place has it, but it’s a tad far for my buddy.
TIA peeps.
