Chinese in Monterey Park?
Just back, We had Dinner at Giang Nan. Had the Meatball with duck egg inside, Very good Shanghai rice cake in soup. Braised fish tail, xiao long bao, which had a good amount of soup inside and not to thick wrapper. and my favorite dish was the tang yuen for desert, very large portion with egg also in the soup and garnished with what I think was chopped chrysentemum flowers.
Lunch was at Mandarin Deli on S. atlantic, Because it was monday and yimei was closed. The yangchow fried rice was really good with decent amount of shrimp and no filler, like peas. great wonton soup and beef ball soup with fun noodles, also inexpensive and very friendly service.
our other Dinner was at My way Deli next to 99 Ranch. A taiwan snacks restaurant. we had deep fried Pomfret. really good. Noodles with squid, with some chilli's and a sweet sauce. fried fish cake. and sweet rice cake with taiwan sausage.
We also had take out Dim Sum at Yum Cha Cafe. very cheap and good quality.

Must eat foods for first timers in Paris?
ChefJune,
I'm from U.S., so maybe a French person can answer where the name Chocolatine comes from. But I first heard it from the pastry chef, when I was stageing in France.

ISO specific type of Taiwanese pork sandwich
Red Chopstick at 136-17 41st in Flushing, Has It on the menu, I'm not sure the Mandarin name, but it is also called taiwanese hamburger on the menu, Ate there last week, and tried one for the first time. A little sweet, but really good. The other dishes were also good.
