"I visited a Chinese restaurant in the middle of Sorrento Mesa that does brisk business during weekday lunchtimes but quiets down on weekends, which makes it a great time to try Mada-Sao’s weekend breakfast specials. I sampled soybean milk with fried crullers (youtiao), enjoyed various noodle soups, Taiwanese braised pork over rice, and pan-fried rice cakes (a Shanghainese specialty). To round out the meal, I ordered some wok-sautéed a-choy (a Taiwanese lettuce) and expertly blistered green beans." - Candice Woo
