That’s how I feel. I was so looking forward to having this highly recommended Wonton Soup from this Chinese take-out joint a few blocks from work.  Our conversation at work, at it is oft to do, turned to Soup.  Knowing that we write a blog on Chinese restaurants, and we’re THE go to source for finding the best Chinese restaurants ...

The way this summer was going, so mild and cool, I figured for sure that once the calendar rolled over in to September that Fall and even cooler weather couldn’t be far behind.  So, I started doing some research on recipes for my favorite soup, Wonton Soup.  It’s not my fault that Mother Nature thought that THIS was the right ...

The Quest For Great Chinese Food A Long Term Odyssey   One of my fondest memories is that every other Thursday evening, I went with my family for a Chinese dinner.

“Hey Boo Boo!” The Chinese Quest continue to plot their great new adventure (yes, we are going to keep you guessing for now).  As they schemed this evening at a super secret location tucked behind the main road in their adopted home town, and whilst meeting, they supped on some take-out food from Bo Bo Kitchen. Bo Bo Kitchen delivered, but ...

שיין שנה טוב – 巴蒂爾l良好 – Happy New Year! No, it’s not Christmas.  Heck, it’s not even Yom Kippur, but it is Rosh Hashana!  Following along on an old family tradition (yes, my family was far from Traditional, but we did have our traditions!), I had Chinese food for dinner. We used to go out to a Chinese restaurant on ...

Heal Me! Friends, It’s been a few days since last we posted.  Sorry.  Been way under the weather and finally have enough strength to sit upright… catch up on some e-mail… peruse the internet, and finally get to enjoy a solid meal.  So far it’s sticking in my belly. What you ask is this magic elixir that has given me ...
