A lovely afternoon in all ways.
My favorite bites were the same (yikes maybe all our palates are getting streamlined 
j/k) with the addition of the pork & leek dumplings from SJFZ.
I had been craving the duck and the curry noodle soup since we last ate them, and both were as good as I remembered. Shout out to the staff who was so nice to us (bowls! plates! water jug refills! and asking if we enjoyed everything, which almost knocked @vinouspleasure off his chair 
). We also had the fish noodles as they were unique for the folks whose first visit this was.
My first time eating the dumplings at Shu Jiao Fu Zhou did not disappoint. We had pork & chive and chicken & mushroom, plus an order of the wheat noodles with peanut sauce. We thought we missed the lunch rush, though it turned out later that we had just lucked out and gotten there during a short lull,.
I did enjoy the food at Cafe Hong Kong (which was mostly new to me except the soft shell crab), but we adjusted our choices away from a few things that might have worked out better (they didn’t have the steamed carp so we skipped the fish entirely, and the crispy garlic chicken and the black bean ribs both tasted w bit of Maggi, which I don’t love). The salt-baked soft shell crab as good, as was the water spinach with fermented tofu that was our only vegetable for the day.
Dessert was sponge cake from Lucky King and their steamed molasses cake (probably not its actual name) that @DaveCook introduced us to on a prior visit.
