These were really soggy by the time they arrived for delivery, but they still tasted good dunked in the pot sticker sauce.
Mongolian “3” combo – Tao Yin Restaurant
Chicken, beef, and prawn. $12

This taste fine, but it was SO greasy! It was literally sitting in a pool of grease. I thought the proteins were cooked nicely, but I didn’t like everything coated in grease.

$9
Tao Yin Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This tasted pretty good. The exterior of the fried chicken pieces was quite hard though, but I liked the flavor of their sauce. The large veggie pieces was also a nice addition.
Chinese mustard greens – Washington Bakery & Restaurant
With chicken broth. $8.50
Washington Bakery & Restaurant, San Francisco CA
These were the largest mustard greens I’d ever seen! Lol. I’m not sure how different Chinese mustard is from regular mustard we get at the supermarket, but these were very different. They tasted great though tossed in the simple garlic sauce.

This was not very good. The beef was tough, and it was pricey for the amount of food you get. Lame.
Hot and sour soup – Hunan Home’s Restaurant
With pork, bean curd, mushroom, bamboo shoots, and eggflower.
Hunan Home’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This soup had a particularly dark and soy sauce-y broth, but it wasn’t any more salty than other hot and sour soups. I liked the amount of ingredients in it, they weren’t skimpy.
Szechuan eggplant with pork – New Ming’s Restaurant
Bell peppers, onion, black fungus, bamboo shoot. $11.95
New Ming’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This tasted fine, but it was SO oily and greasy. I can only how much of the oil was soaked up by the eggplant. I feel sick just think about it. And it was a bit overpriced for lunch item in this area.
Afternoon snacks – Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel
Mortadella, salami, lox, assorted cheese, olives, capers, artichoke. Complimentary in Executive Lounge
Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel, Beijing CHINA
I’m a little sad that I ate so much at the Executive Lounge instead of exploring more of the local restaurants, but it was also nice not to spend so much on food and drinks. I really need to win the lottery so I don’t have to make these lame decisions, lol! 🙂
Dumplings. These were actually pretty good!
