NEW SECTION: THE PU PU CHATTER
The Chinatown Blogger has been wrestling with this question for a while:
“Why no restaurant reviews on the site?”
Answer: “What if the food was bad? Does the Blogger slam someone’s business just cause their sushi wasn’t good…”
Then one reader said: “If you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say it…”
So the Blogger diligently followed this advice. That is why the Blogger has never written a restaurant review, despite the fact that the Blogger eats at different restaurants and bakeries everyday. Then the Blogger thought, what if he just wrote about places and food that he thought was unique or good in Chinatown?
So now this site is starting a new section for readers: The Pu Pu Chatter — if the pu pu is good, then the pu pu deserves chatter. If readers think there is something worth mentioning here, send in your posts and pics if available.
The first one up is Bao Bao Bakery on 77 Harrison Avenue. Bao Bao has an assortment of fancy looking cakes and pastries, which is good to look at but not so much for eating. But the Blogger doesn’t go to Bao Bao for the pastries, his favorite is their hot ginger honey milk tea for $2.50. This is black tea mixed with milk, honey, sugar and real pieces of ginger. (The ginger is safe to eat). The Blogger has been drinking this as a substitute for Dunkin coffee.
Cakes for eye candy, but would advise passing.
These pastries are worth picking up.
The holy grail (hyperbole) — hot honey ginger milk tea.

where to start … scallion pie at King Fung, though i hear it’s not what it used to be. clams in black bean sauce at Grand Chau Chow. do miao (pea pod stems) at Peach Farm, or just about anywhere. salty-spicy shrimp & squid at New Jumbo. i used to love the kung pao chicken at Royal Pacific in the Eatery, which sadly is gone now.
