LA | Los Angeles Hidden Gem
Craving something warm and comforting over the weekend, and discovered this spot with super authentic Cantonese flavors – tastes just like what I had in Hong Kong!! 🧇 Black Truffle Double Egg Pork Rice Noodle Rolls The rice rolls are soft and chewy. Fresh minced pork, slightly sweet and savory sauce. The egg is fragrant and pairs beautifully with the black truffle aroma – so satisfying. 🍖 Sizzling Butter Chicken Pot The moment it arrives – the sizzle and aroma hits you! The chicken skin is crispy, the meat inside is tender and juicy. Seasoned with special herbs (like basil) plus onions and bell peppers – instantly transported back to a street-side eatery in Tsim Sha Tsui. 🥓 Homestyle Stir-Fried Rice Noodles Full of wok hei (breath of the wok) – glossy and savory. The noodles are springy and soft, paired with shredded Chinese sausage – unique and delicious with egg and scallions. 🥩 Salted Shrimp Paste Steamed Pork Belly Looks simple, but the pork is perfectly prepared. The salted shrimp paste is fully absorbed into the pork – a savory, umami-rich shrimp flavor. 🥗 Fermented Tofu (Fu Ru) Lettuce Reminds me of the classic Cantonese fermented tofu from childhood. Lightly coats the lettuce – highlighting the savory, slightly sweet taste without being overpowering. The lettuce is cooked just right. A true hidden gem! If you're craving authentic Cantonese food, definitely try Sunrise Noodle House. 👨💻 By day, I’m a data scientist in tech – a 10-year international student who loves sharing hidden food spots across LA and the Bay.
