Where Philly’s Chinatown Community Leaders Go to Eat
"This Cantonese comfort food spot is a favorite for quick breakfast and lunch, and epic multi-course family-style dinners. Both Carol Wong and Harry Leong go for the homestyle fish filet, which is seasoned beautifully and tossed with flavorful green beans, minced pork, and fermented black bean sauce over rice. Wong also loves the Chinese eggplant with pork. Anne Ishii goes for the plain congee in the morning, and so does Alix Webb, who couples it with gai lan, scallions, and youtiao — long sticks of fried dough — to make it a meal. One should note that there are 25 options on the breakfast menu alone, and Webb advises using the scallion ginger oil on the side on everything. For those with a hankering for home, look no further than the steamed minced pork pie with salted fish, topped with salted egg, for good measure. It really hits the spot." - Diana Lu
