Northern Chinese Restaurant (Alhambra)

Food 01: San Gabriel

I delayed putting this entry up because I accidently delete half of the photos~ :( (and couldn't recovered them). There were 4 of us, every dishes were big and CHEAP!

Cold Vegetable (just like..salad...? ^^:;) and this Cucumber with tofu and jelly noodle is my absolute favorite. The sauce mustard with soy sauce. The jelly noodle is made from squash (?). What a great treat for summer.

Winter melon and lamb soup, delicious and good for summer. Northern Style Beef Pancake.
DSC00252.jpgSnowflake Potstickers, what a nice touch~

The best dishes was the Stew Pork (lost its picture T__T), it was so incredible, very tender and tasty! To think it was such a huge dish that only cost $5! Another dish's picture I lost was the Cumin Lamb, also very good~ (a bit musky but the cumin flavor covered it pretty much).

hawthorne is ..."san ja" (mountain, squeeze), you know those sweet little cone of chips you eat usually with bitter chinese herbal medicine? ^^;;;

On the menu it's full of "fake dog meat" and boar too~ and deer~

On the menu there are so many exotic sounding dishes that sound absolutely tempting, like "Fried hawthorne"~~ and the not so tempting 'fried silkworm" O_o;;;

Looks so good! Love beef pancake and grilled dumplings!!
Winter melon and lamb is a rare combination? I have never tried before. Salad in a chinese restaurant...is rare too.
