![]() And, of course, there was a fried egg on top. There were also chives and crispy, crunch fried shallots. The pineapple also help off set the heat from the sambal oelek that garnished the top of the rice. The pork and pineapple were such a great combination of flavors. But it wasn’t oily, which can quickly ruin a good fried rice. The fried rice was seasoned well and had a great texture from it’s trip around the wok. I’m already plotting my next chance to get this. This Nasi Goreng, Pork + Pineapple, Fried Egg ($8- NF, GF) was our hands down favorite of the meal. Oh how I loved thee, let me count the ways… I contemplated just downing it all in a gulp at the end, but managed to restrain myself. Wok Roasted Lemongrass Mussels ($7- NF) were also set down in front of us once we cleared off some of the dishes. These were served with a rhubarb duck sauce. Kinda the same? Totally different! e 2 spring rolls were cut in half allowing you to peak inside to check out the stuffing made of vegetables, including swiss chard, and glass noodles. The braised beef was super tender and the sauce on it was finger licking good.Īnother one of our Asian go-to’s are Crispy Spring Rolls ($7) so we order them as well as the summer rolls. I loved the chicken one as it had the pickled cabbage, which added great tart flavor and texture. Both the Nirvana Chicken ($5- NF, SF) and Asian Braised Beef ($5- NF, SF) sounded great to us so we got both and split them. We got two Bao’s because we had never had them before and were up to trying something new. My general strategy was to get as much of the dipping sauce on the dumping as possible. The chives seasoned the ground pork with a sweet onion flavor that went so well with the dipping sauce. Maybe next time! ha! They were perfectly golden and crispy. Mama knows what’s up!! Oh man, these were great. That’s why I love sitting right in front of all the action!! Dim Sum and a show!Īnd then Mama Chang’s Pork & Chive Dumplings ($6 – NF, SF). Our server did explain to us that they were making a big batch of stock using a big octopus when we inquired about what was going on in front of us. There was something crunchy that I should have asked what it was but I was too busy inhaling it to think to ask our server. It was a great contrast of textures and temperatures. I loved the seasoning in the dressing and on the ground chicken that was hot compared to the chilled noodles. I love anything with vermicelli noodles so getting this Thai Ginger Chicken Salad with Rice Vermicelli ($8- NF, SF, GF) was an obvious choice for me. Peanut dipping sauce is a classic pairing with these rolls and this spicy sauce was a great compliment. The veggies were fresh and shrimp was sweet. These were a great start to our dim sum extravaganza! They were assembled neatly, soft, but not sticky. So of course we got their Fresh Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce ($6- V, SF, GF, NF). Whenever we see fresh summer rolls on a menu we get them as they are some of our favorite things. We picked a bunch of things as we were hungry and just so excited to finally be there. Everything sounded really good so it was tough to narrow things down. ![]() We scanned the options and then discussed what we would both really like to try. Just ask how they can become: GF = Gluten Free SF = Shellfish Free They indicate which items can be prepared to address you dietary restrictions. They make ordering fairly easy if you have food allergies as they identify common allergies on the menu. We had already scoped out their lunch menu and pretty much picked what we wanted but this was a fun change of plans as it gave us an opportunity to try a bunch of small things. When we got there we found out that they were doing Dim Sum instead of their normal lunch as a fun way to wrap up the holiday week. You know, kinda busy now(!), but we kept coming back to a Boston staple that we have had on the ‘must’ visit’ list for a loooooong time… Myers and Chang. ![]() We looked into a lot of places as there have been so many great new restaurants in Boston that we’ve been meeting to check out. To celebrate our 10 year anniversary on January 2nd Price and I decided to go out to lunch while Autumn was in daycare. I still love to share the great places that we enjoy in Boston and on our travels so I do want to keep up with this series, but I am going to switch it up and just post once a month instead of twice a month. We just don’t have the time or resources. There are a few reasons but the main one is that we just don’t go out as much as we used to. I’ve slacked off on my Monday Munchies posts this past year. As part of my Monday Munchies series, I will feature a different eatery for a review o n the third Monday of every month. ![]()
