On Thanks Giving day we went to eat supper in Chinatown.
We had couple of places in mind but started discovering that some places were closed. My selection was a Sichauan XO restaurant that turned out to be closed so we headed to Avani's pick from ChowHound called Shanghai Bakery - turned out to be a small vietnamese sandwich stand at the back of a jewelry store! But my god the sandwich was amongst the best i've had - sweet, sour, hot, spicy - a pure party in the mouth!! I'll definitely go here again and again if I could. GO HERE.
After this we decided to go to a dumpling shop from Avani's chow hound pick but it was closed :( so we looked on our list and a restaurant called 'New Green Bo' was close by - it's a pick by Guy Feiri from the Food Network. Dumplings great, but don't make our mistake of ordering chicken corn soup - it was good but a waste of appetite. We got two orders of different dumplings and salivated over the dishes we saw others ordering. Would I go to New Green Bo again? Probably not - it was good but not great. I'd give other restaurants a try before going back here.
After New Green Bo we simply walked around China Town - picked up some souvenier shot glasses and then headed back to the hotel .
Walking around China Town is an adventure you see all kinds of produce and people. You see fresh veges, fish, meat in varieties rarely seen anywhere else. For example in one place we saw them selling Alligator feet! What I wonder is what happened to the rest of the Alligator? does it taste like chicken?
