So tonight my dad brought home Chinese food takeout @ our favorite Chinese food restaurant in San Francisco, Ton Kiang. Ton Kiang (pronounced Ton-Key-ong) is extremely popular and well-known around the Outer Richmond area.The best time to go there is during lunch when they serve Dim Sum. I ALWAYS order their Shanghai Soup Dumplings, which are pork filled but have the secret surprise of warm soup inside too! Other yummies are their sticky rice with pork and a creamy, bright egg yolk wrapped in a banana leaf. How cool is that!!??!? The mango pudding is also so delish; i'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Even though I didn't go there for lunch, I am lucky to eat their dinner food tonight. I'm really excited because I decided to order something new there, a vegetarian dish called "Braised Tofu with Black Mushrooms and Tender Greens." Doesn't that sound so good!?!?!? For some reason "Tender Greens" just sound so tantalizing...and it turned out that it was! The tofu skins were chewy but tender and the mushrooms were perfect in soaking up all of the rich sauce. Yum!
My parents also got their regular entrees which are also very good. They get the "Spareribs in Sweet Orange Sauce" and the "Crispy Fried Chicken". The spareribs are oozing with sauce and the meat is succulent. The fried chicken is so flavorful and moist even without sauce. Its isn't like southern fried chicken; it tastes baked and herb-y.
