Must be one in every city that has a large Chinese population. Too funny.

Glad I could bring back some delicious taste memories for you. Enjoy!

For some of your readers who also mentioned this place, it no longer exists with the same menu. The ingrediants included lard “puddle of grease” which somehow increased the flavor 10 fold. The only other place which I have found that equals its taste is the Empress seafood in LA Chinatown.
I’m going to the market and make a heaping plate as the main course and forget that I have high cholesterol.
Thanks

I’m glad the dish holds such significance and meaning for you, too. Just talking about it makes me crave me all over again.

I recently went home to visit my aging parents and had this very dish! It brought back so many memories and my mom asked me if i could count the times she’s conned us into eating our rice when we didn’t want to by adding the hom yu into our bowls. Ahhh. So nostalgic. Thank you so much for posting.

My mother made the dish regularly except with a twist: She used to buy fresh flat fish of some kind and made her own salt fish. Used to salt them up, wrap them loosely in cheese cloth and hung them on a clothes line to dry. You can imagine the aroma that had on the neighborhood cats. The final fish made great dishes and she always shared her bounty with her Asian friends. Brings back memories. Thank you
