Rice Cake to Celebrate Chinese New Year – Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Today we celebrate the Chinese New Year - Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Legendary Noodle House

With two locations in the city, the Legendary Noodle House serves up big dishes of tasty Northern Chinese style hand-made noodles. We visited the Denman store; and as with all shops on Denman, it was a little crowded. The decorations are fitting of the place, maybe they are trying a little too hard on the “Chineseness” of it, but I could see its appeal to the general public. The kitchen is a semi-open style, which is great because you get to see the chef prepare your noodles made-to-order. It’s quite an art form; it takes a lot of pulling, slamming, and kneading to produce a fine firmness (think al dente pasta but better). Overall it reminded me of the street-side noodle joints in Tianjin.

Two Chinese Birthday Feasts in Richmond

Another component of my birthday celebration was two separate feasts in Richmond. I don't usually blog about Chinese food because I don't eat out at Chinese restaurants very often. Well, mom can cook awesome Chinese food so why bother dining out (haha another shameless plug for mom!) Yet this time around the dishes were rather complex and fancy so I think it's worth paying the price and enjoy the food without any hassle in the kitchen.
