It is a side dish that has main-character energy. Think about it. You put bacon in ice-cream and it is the bacon that sings. You use candied bacon as a cocktail garnish, and suddenly that is all anyone's talking about. But, while all bacon is great, some bacon is just greater than others. If you disagree, try some Chinese-style bacon called Lap Yuk or La Rou.
Second, please also note that the Chinese restaurant Poon's, by Amy Poon, scion of the Poon's restaurant dynasty, recently rooted itself in the New Wing. Ice-skating itself I have nothing against, but we can all agree that these slippery yuletide stampedes on temporary rinks are the polar opposite of festive, so surely it would be far better to be hiding indoors in the warmth with a round of prawn wontons, a bowl of nourishing magic soup, or some wind-dried meat claypot rice.
Las Vegas has a long list of under the radar restaurants, and Rainbow Kitchen is one of those local favorites serving up authentic Chinese food, from pi pa tofu to taro with sliced pork shoulder, ong choy with fermented bean curd, salted fish, and salted egg. The restaurant also has clay pots filled with lamb stew, pork stomach, chicken, and bitter melon spare ribs, among others.
A second branch of Noodle Inn just opened in the capital but there's more hot on its heels, with the arrival of San Hao, opening in Chinatown (on the old Wan Chai Corner site) in December. The 120-cover spot, coming from the team behind YiQi, The Eight and Dozo, will specialise in handmade noodles and fried dumplings, reimagining traditional Chinese dishes through the use of local British ingredients, like Berkshire pork, heritage tomatoes and salsify.
Step into the always-buzzy Hop Alley in Five Points, Denver, and you'll be hit with the hubbub of lively table conversation and sizzling woks in the kitchen. Most tables have a plate of la zi ji, a signature dish in which chicken thighs are battered and fried to an almost shattering crispiness, and arrive covered in dried, crushed Chinese chilis, Sichuan pepper, and Ichimi Togarashi.
The concept centres around smoked and braised meats, like pork knuckle, beef, chicken and pig's trotter (with kelp knots, tofu, lotus root and enoki mushroom for the veggies) which are slow-braised in spiced soy, gently smoked and then served chilled like charcuterie. There are more cold plates on the rest of the menu, alongside dishes like: black fungus with pickled chilli salt & pepper squid deep-fried eggplant sandwiches steamed savoury egg custard sea bass with spicy mixed pepper
For more than half a century, Miamians have been savoring the Chinese cuisine at Christine Lee's. According to Michael Mayo's post on the Facebook Group, Let's Eat, South Florida, "A recorded message on the restaurant's telephone number says that second-generation owner Mary Lee has decided to retire and the restaurant is closed effective immediately." A call to the restaurant confirms the news.
The glistening, golden brown Peking duck (also known as Beijing duck) at Chinese restaurant Ji Rong in Rosemead is one of the best in Los Angeles, but what makes this restaurant stand out further is its robust menu of other centerpiece dishes, like the whole fried sweet and sour grouper. This is a particularly great spot for large groups or family dinners out; it's smart to order more than you even think

Come with an empty stomach so you can eat your fill of dumplings and noodles!
According to data from World Population Review, people in China consume an average of 14.3 kilograms of garlic each year, which is 31 and a half pounds. That is more than double second-place South Korea at 6.2 kilograms, and more than five times third-place Bangladesh. While garlic bulbs vary in size, there are usually around 8 per pound, which means the average Chinese person eats around 250 bulbs of garlic a year.
