  1. There's a type with clear broth too. It's made with beef bones.
  2. It's about a scholar who was studying for his exams and his wife had to cross this bridge to get to the study area at the back of their property to bring him food. She found out out that if you put a thin layer of oil on the soup and keep things separate while she carried the noodles over the bridge it would be hot and fresh when he ate it. That's why the waitress put in our noodles and stuff separately.
  3. It was not Sichuan Rice Noodle Soup. It was Yunan Cross the Bridge Noodle Soup. Yunan Steamed Claypot Chicken.
  4. I like my noodles thick and irregular, and I like tendon more than beef. There should also be some the pickled green, suan tsai as a condiment.
  5. Scotch kisses, the kind with the marshmallow in the middle. Their lollipops are good too.
  6. most often, for me ABC does mean American Born Chinese. But for me, it also means American Born Confused. First Generation Americans with a strong sense of their native culture and a inevitably a strong American identity, and often confused about where they sit within the whole scheme. As opposed to me, with a strong sense of my Chinese identity, a strong American identity, and fully aware of my place between the two, and just really annoyed at where I am between the two! Jeez, always defending Americans to the Chinese, defending the Chinese to the Americans. I feel ya.... I have the same problems..
  7. Wenzhou is known for their great big wontons
  8. I don't know the English name... sorry... If you head south from the 10 it's before Hong Kong supermarket on the right side, in a little plaza with a korean bbq place.
  9. I know of a Yunan place on Garfield that's pretty authentic.
  10. Yeah I gyudon.... We have lots of yoshinoyas here in LA. I know a guy who can prop up the bowl while he is driving with his knees and eat and drive simultaneously.

  12. I like Bagel Nosh on Wilshire.

  16. I would like to thank everyone for coming out to Arcadia. It was so nice to meet the new people and to see mixmaster and beachfan again. Thanks to foodzealot for the pictures. They came out great.
  17. I'll wear a name tag so you guys can look for me. I'm the asian girl with the black hair.

  19. The beef is good, it's thinly sliced brisket I think. They changed ownership about a month ago. The owner bought Manna on Olympic.
