I had to tweak all the settings and my ISP changed their servers. I don't know when I was last online. I know it was with the cat. Thank Gawd she is fast asleep in her favorite spot.

You are SO right! Most of my life I was used to having egg foo yung prepared as patties with a gravy served on it, the specific ingredients to each type of egg foo yung incorporated into the patty. When I moved to AZ I found it impossible to find and hated every version I tried. In most versions the patty was made of just the basic ingredients, the main "titled" ingredients were stirfried, sauced, and pour over the top. I have never gotten used to this and it will always remain a disapointment. Just recently I found two restaurants that prepare it the way I was accustomed to having it in the past. -- Wayne in Phoenix *If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it. *A mind is a terrible thing to lose. |

Alittle late, but I've been to St. Louis often enough to want to give my 2 cents: -It took awhile for this Chicago deep dish girl to get into it, but Imo's pizza is actually a nice break for a regional type of pizza. The provel cheese makes it. -Mekong on South Grand has excellent Vietnamese, as well as a lounge/club upstairs. The owner, Tai, is usually there and very nice. -Toasted ravioli... you can get it anywhere, and you pretty much can't go wrong, but it's nice to find a place that does a vegetarian one. Cicero's in U City (the Loop?) does some good ones. -Of course, the St. Paul Sandwich. All's I gotta say is, don't knock it 'til you try it. You can go to any local hole in the wall "Chinamen's" (which is how the yokels refer to the establishments) and get a super tasty, deep fried, Egg Foo Young patty on white bread, with mayo, lettuce and tomato for under $2.00 (even for shrimp!). Excellent while drunk, or returning from an excursion to Pop's E. STL's 24-hour bar. Don't get it with the gravy, as that just makes it too soggy to eat happily. Enjoy the crunch." </> |

It's the "wrong" gravy on egg foo yung that drives me nuts. It should be a light brown, mild flavor, not dark and beefy tasting. I'm intrigued by the sandwich notion. Since I like the stuff anyway, I'm always happy over the fact that a typical restaurant size portion works out to three big meals for me. This would probably stretch it to four <g>. |
