Instead of eating at home for Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner, Mom-in-law decided to dine out this year. Our celebratory reunion meal was a regular haunt near our home — Savor Rey La Mian Xiao Long Bao Restaurant, an under-rated little diner that serves more than decent north-eastern Chinese cuisine. But the first course [...]

Last Wednesday, Momo and I met for lunch. It was a short meal because she only had a one-hour lunch break before heading back to work. Since she’d been here before, I asked, “What’s good to eat?” Momo replied, “Soup rice!” Turns out that soup rice is a souped-up version of Teochew porridge. Instead of [...]
