[1] A Sense of Chinatown : History, family, food, tradition make for a rich mix in one of the city’s oldest and yet ever-changing neighborhoods
By Tom Haines, Boston Globe, Travel Section, July 27, 2008
In the Boston Sunday Globe is a review of Chinatown in the Travel Section. Writer Tom Haines deserves credit for the research he had done so check out the article.
“For more classic atmosphere, and the relentless lists of dishes, including seafood from the tanks by the door, settle into Peach Farm Restaurant, or East Ocean City. Compare the fried squid, excellent at both restaurants, though Peach Farm’s spicier version wins for tenderness and taste.”
The Chinatown Blogger likes the East Ocean City version of the fried squid. Peach Farm while very good, is a little too heavy on the oil for the Blogger and makes the fried squid look more golden than the East Ocean City counterpart. A matter of personal preference.

Not a bad article really, and not exoticizing.
Well I guess I would do New Jumbo for fried squid but I tend to rely on New Jumbo a little much. Tried the duck with taro there the other day and it was excellent.
Hope this doesn’t post twice–sorry if so!
