Brushing up on my cooking skills in Los Angeles

Every dish is truly delicious at this recent haunt ❤️ Today, I’m sharing my favorite Cantonese cuisine spot in San Gabriel 🍽️ I feel that whether a restaurant is worth frequenting largely depends on their quality control and if their signature dishes consistently taste great! This Cantonese restaurant is becoming my go-to for dining out because every dish feels like it could be a signature offering 🤤 My go-to orders 🩷🩷🩷 Spicy Vermicelli with Tiger Prawns in a Pot 🌟🌟🌟🌟 So many prawns! The quality is quite impressive in Los Angeles, but it still doesn’t beat the one in Vancouver that Wu Yifan often visits; that place has the best vermicelli and prawn pot. Personal preference, but I find the vermicelli here a bit too soft. If you like that texture, give it a try! Despite losing a star, I still polished off three bowls of rice with this dish – it’s that good! 🍚 Vietnamese Beef Dices 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five stars for this one! It’s cooked to perfection – crispy outside and tender inside, with just the right amount of saltiness and a hint of sweetness. This dish really showcases the restaurant’s Cantonese cuisine skills, and it’s not easy to replicate at home due to the lack of a strong flame! Definitely a must-order at the restaurant. 🌶️ Lotus Root Stir Fry 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My staple order every time, also known as “Moonlit Lotus Pond.” It’s incredibly well-executed and delicious – no complaints! It’s a healthy Chinese dish, and every time I order it, I feel like I’m eating something nutritious. Even if you’re not a fan of vegetables, this is a must-try! 🥦 Signature Vietnamese Lobster Spaghetti 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Their signature dish! It seems like every table orders it, and it’s truly faultless – huge portions, priced by the market, usually around 2-3 pounds (about $200, if I remember correctly). The only reason it loses a star is that I don’t think the noodles are actual spaghetti – they seem more like instant noodles?? But they are indeed very flavorful. 🦞 Fish Maw, Shrimp Paste, and Mustard Green Pot 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent! The soup is incredibly fresh, with vegetables, shrimp paste, and collagen all in one dish. I can drink several bowls of this thick soup – it’s one of my regular orders. 🍲 Pepper Pork Tripe and Chicken Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Delicious! The soup is very rich, and it’s my go-to when I’m in the mood for soup. I’m not usually a fan of pork tripe, so I can’t say much about how well it’s prepared, but the soup itself is a winner. 🥣 ❤️❤️ I really love this place; consistency is key, and I hope they keep it up. So many restaurants start off great and then gradually become less enjoyable. ❗️❗️❗️ Keep in mind that their bill automatically includes a 12% gratuity, so you can add extra if you’d like, just be careful not to double tip! #LosAngelesFood #ChineseCuisine #LosAngeles #BTSRestaurantShare #USA #AmericanFood #CantoneseCuisine #FoodDiary
