@Trumpetguy’s mention of MDM on the Post-pandemic Honesty – Yea or Nay? thread (wish I’d thought of that title earlier) reminded me to mention an outstanding meal we had from them in late August. Very good Spicy Oil Hand-pulled Noodles, lovely dumplings and a very good version of Da Pan Ji (aka Big Tray/Plate Chicken), here listed just as Spicy Chicken for Two. In the Greater Boston area I’ve had this dish from Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine in Cambridge (many times) and Home Taste in Watertown (listed as Xinjiang Spicy Chicken). The MDM version might be the best, but it’s hard to be sure when comparing three very good dishes across many-month gaps. I will say with certainty, though, that the knife work in the MDM version was very clean, with none of the treacherous residual bone-shards that populated the Home Taste version the two times we’ve had it.
