It was closed today probably snow the dumpling may be back in town.
I’m trying Shanghai Cuisine instead I think it’s fine but not NYC Flushing good. As the Japanese Prime Minister said about California rice during a domestic rice shortage, “Please do not panic, the taste is familiar.” Which is a very Japanese way of putting it. It’s around the level of Shanghai Gate/Fresh. I like that chef and he has pedigree but honestly I think Cantabrigians went a little gaga over it. Look up Cheli NYC and you’ll see what I mean. Boston punches way over its weight in regional Chinese but no one has dared to open a place that’s fine dining like the old Tse Yang or the new O Mandarin or Shorty Tang’s place. Boston is good but not that good. Frankly I thing Tao Li is one of the few who could pull something like that off. His contemporary at Noah’s alludes to that, it’s the nicest Chinese dining room in Boston so far with an emphasis on presentation and a serious tea program.
Anyway
I sure have a Kao Fu craving once in a while so I’ll come back. I can make it with pantry ingredients but I’m lazy I guess
