"Despite its name, the savory dishes at Metro Hong Kong Dessert in Chinatown are our favorites. Fried rice gets tossed with charred-until-caramelized chunks of meat, and the beef cheung fun is so silky you could swallow one whole. If you must pay homage to the name, stick with the mango sago with generous pieces of tart mango to balance out the sweetness of the tapioca. Just be sure to bring some cash unless you want a credit card surcharge added to your bill." - patrick wong, julia chen 1
