At first glance Chengdu Taste might seem like just another Chinese-American restaurant. The big difference is that Chengdu Taste features authentic Szechuan cuisine in addition to Chinese-American favorites. Many of the menu items showcase familiar Chinese-American fare like crab rangoons and General Tso's chicken. However, the restaurant really shines when serving its authentic Szechuan cuisine....

While on the prowl for something different in the Providence area (let's be honest, while there are many fantastic eateries, it can get a little stale eating at the same places over and over), my friend and I stumbled upon Yaki Mani. The menu looked familiar and promising because we both love sushi and ramen.... Continue Reading →
Soup is not something I used to think of as a meal on its own. It was an appetizer or snack at best because I was used to eating soups from a can or cups of clam chowder before the real meal arrives. It wasn't until I had my first bowl of pho and then... Continue Reading →
Jahunger was one of those restaurants that seemed to come out of nowhere and took the Fox Point area of Providence by storm. As soon as it opened the positive reviews came pouring in. The descriptions indicated that Jahunger served mainly Chinese noodles, but as it turns out, the cuisine label doesn't really do the... Continue Reading →
Here's how I knew Dumpling House was good the first time I ate there: A friend of mine and I had just gone to whiskey tasting and were feeling the effects just a touch. We decided to do something we don't normally do and that was to have dinner at two different restaurants. The first... Continue Reading →

The truck's popularity and success allowed them to expand and open two restaurants - one in Malden, MA and one in Brookline, MA.... Continue Reading →
My love of dim sum is no secret and from that love came recipes for both shrimp and pork steamed shumai dumplings. Considering that these are my two favorites whenever I go out for dumplings, it only made sense that I would try and replicate them at home. I've been making shrimp shumai for years,...

Dim Sum is one of my all time favorite meal experiences. I've been going for brunch for years, but still nowhere near as much as I would like. Chau Chow City in Chinatown (not to be confused with Chau Chow in Dorchester, MA, which is unrelated) is one of my favorite places to get dim... Continue Reading →
Dim Sum holds a magical place in my heart since the first time, my friend, AmasianV, introduced me to it in college. From that point on, AmasianV and I always considered it our own private hangover cure. Granted, all of that extra sodium probably didn't help us out any, but... what can I say? It...
