What we’ve been eating lately
We’ve been busy lately, so here’s a giant picture post to recap what we are up to in the past couple of weeks.
Mango Sticky Rice from Thai Thai Noodles
Yichen made me delicious lunch box.

Homemade soup and salad
There are times when nothing beats home-cooked food — tonight is one of them. It was as simple as soup and salad.
Fresh romaine leaves tossed with provolone cheese, smoked honey ham, dried cranberries and dripped with ginger salad dressing.
Black pepper leek and chicken stir-fry.
Larry’s signature chicken soup. It was delicious! Boil chicken, dried dates, ginger, leak and black fungus in one pot on low heat for an hour.
When served, sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves.

Real Shanghainese treat from Bund
We woke up Sunday morning with a craving for authentic Chinese food, and Bund sprang to mind! Different from typical Chinatown eateries, Bund is clean, spacious, and ran by warm and genuine waiters/waitresses.
Voila, those eight soup dumpling babies made a steamy start to our meal.
Tender pork stuffing soaked with flavorful juice wrapped in silky semi-translucent skin. The first bite was nothing but satisfying.
“Ji Mao Cai”, or Chicken Feather Veggie by direct translation. This is the real deal when it comes to Shanghainese veggies. Biting on them feels like nibbling over sprouts of baby bok-choy.
Braised fish stomach. The fatty fish meat went well with the thick soy sauce, and the fresh scallion sprinkled on top added just the right touch of twist in flavor.
