No News = Good News?

Recently there hasn’t been much in Chinatown that has caught my attention to write about. However, that hasn’t stopped me in the past so…

I had the privilege of dining at King Fung Garden on Kneeland St. a few weeks ago. This place is as much a part of Chinatown culture as the pagoda. Yes, I should be ashamed that it took me 29 years to step foot into this place. However, it may be my last trip. I knew what I was expecting after reading a few reviews on Yelp (great food, horrible atmosphere), but these are the places I love. Sadly, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The meal began with steamed dumplings and scallion pancakes. I have to admit that the scallion pancake was great, but the dumplings weren’t much better than what I’d get at the frozen food section of C-mart. The noodles that followed were even worse. A greasy dish with sub par ingredients.

I didn’t get the Peking Duck that everyone was raving about, but maybe if I was daring…again.

Steven Chow’s new movie CJ7 is playing at the Kendall Square Theater. I’m a huge fan of his comedy and can’t wait to see this one. If you’ve already seen it, drop me a review. Until then, enjoy the trailer from Youtube.
