the restaurant at least every other weekend, and while I haven't become a full-time 'regular', I'm quickly jumping on the path headed in that direction. This time, I brought Andrew to my local hot spot and we arrived to the usual flurry of Asians and activity. With just two of us, we didn't have to wait very long, and it was even less of a wait (I blinked maybe once) before food appeared in front of us at our table.My favorites included Ha-gow, turnip cake, chang-fen, sweet/salty pork fried dumplings, and so much more. MK's food is fresh, has large chunks of shrimp inside,
and has dim sum so good, even my mom says that it can rival SF. (I think it definitely beats out Chicago's Chinatown).Note to self- the clams were not only expensive, but cold and had large chunks of sand in them. You could break your teeth! Here's your official warning: it's the only bad thing on the list, we promise.
Anyone who knows me also knows how much I'm a fan of congee
with pork and preserved duck egg. More traditionally known as "pi-dan soh roh zou". And MK has one of the best (besides my mom's, of course).To finish it all off, we ordered a plate of egg custards (dan tah). To my surprise, they 'americanized' the dessert with a sprinkle of cinnamon. These mini tarts weren't as warm as I would have liked, but hey- I'll take a dan tah any day!
