Have eaten here several times since I last posted. Referring to the menu pic I posted above, #1 and #10 are still my favorites. I’ve had #10 in soup form and in chili oil form, and much prefer the dryer chili oil version. I recently had the #4, and it was almost aggressively bland – nicely gamy slices of lamb on a bowl of both their hand-pulled-sliced (seems oxymoronic, I just realized) noodles and cellophane noodles in a milky broth, with occasional slivers of this and that (bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc.) scattered sparsely, and a sprig of cilantro on top. It was comfort food in the sense that congee can be, but I did find myself wishing for, perhaps, a shred of ginger, or at least a pinch of salt.
If you go early, you have to order at Dragon Bowl next door. The hand-written sign announcing this system on a visit two months ago was turned around after I’d ordered, to reveal the following tantalizing backside:
The next time I was there, I asked for these items, but they pleaded ignorance.
