La Mei Zi Revisit

The demise of Chicken World paved the way for a dericious Taiwanese and Sichuan joint that fills the pouch with joy. Stopped by again to see what's new... They still have that disgusting AYCE lunch buffet that the health department has yet to shut down. Serio, skip that $10.95 sterno pans of sneeze sprayed and heavily breathed on buffet of slop and stick with the regular menu of goodies. Trust the pouch, you won't regret it. But if you eat the buffet, you're on your own... Wiping endlessly in the toilet.

Beef Tendon Hakka Style. Tender, gelatinous and a little spicy and so good for you.

Taiwanese Salt & Pepper Chicken with Basil and Garlic. They are still very good but could use more fried garlic slices... They make the dish even better.

Pickles. I kinda prefer the spicy peanuts they give you at dinner vs. these things at lunch. Not very pickled but they're not bad, either.

Smoked Duck Taiwan Style. Canard is a dish best served cold... Smokey and tender. This was a nice portion for the price. A little ginger scallion sauce on the side would be nice.

Taiwanese Stir Fried Rice Noodle. A nice mish mash of stir fried shit in a wok... A tasty and filling dish.

Smoked Pork Belly with Leeks. They definitely know how to smoke their meats... The belly was tender, savory and the leeks always pairs well with it.

Oyster, Tofu in Black Bean Sauce. This is new dish for me... Spoon this tasty slop over a bowl of rice and proceed to stuff your fat face in it. The sea snots and tofu were soft and creamy while the black beans give you a swift kick in the mouth with that fermented goodness.

This place is doing well because the food is damn decent... Plus, it's clean and modern, too. There's a few more spicy dishes I need to try but this joint is one of my new go to places in my rotation. While it isn't cheap like the spot on Cantonese grub at Ming's next door it is still worth it just as much.
