Jiao Chu, the 85 Degrees dumpling venture in Rowland Heights is gone. When it opened last year you had to fight your way in. I guess they had a good reputation in Taiwan. Wonder what went wrong.

Never tried it. Don’t see the point when you got Northerner popo’s and aunties making handmade dumplings nearby

I recall a guy that took over the Hot-Star on Garvey in Rosemead that had a stonemill to make jian bing. Somehow, I managed to make it there and have one. He deserved wider exposure, though it would have overwhelmed him (he only made 20 a day), and I also felt certain that it wouldn’t be around long. Sadly, I was right.

Yu Ji Stone Mill Chinese Crepes on Colima & Jellick. Delicious and filling buckwheat crepe with 3 eggs, green onions, sesame seeds, crunchy puffed dough?, hot dog, brown sauce and spicy stuff. Takes about 5 mins to make each one. $10 each.

Very nice man. He said he is from Shandong which is near Korea I guess. He wears a fanny pack and asks you to unzip, put the cash in and take change so he doesn’t get his hands dirty. The cart even shows up on my Google Maps.

Hmm. I can’t tell from the photos. Could someone ask him if he had a place on Garvey (in an old Hot-Star Chicken)?

In quite a flip TenRen Tea in Rowland Heights has been replaced by a spacious new restaurant Maluji Suanlafen, specializing in hot and sour vermicelli dishes. After enjoying my meal there I learned to my horror that a dozen Yelp reviews, more than a half of total reviews, reported violent illness afterwards. Fortunately I have an iron stomach and I am OK.

Guess I forgot about this in my drafts but went to yuan fen again a few weeks ago. Awesome food as always. The stir fried rice cakes (chao nian gao) and scallion oil noodles (cong you ban mian) in particular were as tasty as what I had in Shanghai, though other items like the fish soup with pickled greens (I think) were great too. Hope they stick around. Business was a bit slow for a weekend.

Ya know! Nice to see lots of lao wai’s here unfortunately they ain’t ordering this. Also finally got to use the restroom next door at the spa and it’s really nice lol Luyu by default has one of the nicest restroom in all of SGV.
Always love the stinky tofu at Tofu King. I could easily eat 2 orders of this

You gotta try it sometime! That would be a hell of a drive though from Santa Monica.
Anywhere else doing stinky tofu?
I dunno, perhaps I’m stretching but yuan fen might be one of the best shanghainese in SGV.
Wontons were great but wow the broth was very very good. Fried rice cakes I usually add something at other spots but this might be the one spot in LA I don’t feel the urge to add anything because the flavor is so good.
Small spot run by a couple so if it gets busy don’t expect quick service but they’ll do their best. They have other specials like shanghainese braised pork but ones like that are pre order only so would have to reach out to the restaurant (not sure how). The braised pork is better than places like shanghailander palace.
Very good to my taste and a strong recommendation if you can make it.
