I've made my stance on faux meat pretty clear in the past (hint:
I don't like it) and I've never been to a Pan Asian restaurant I've liked. This made my choice of Wild Ginger, a vegan, pro-faux restaurant serving such enticing-sounding dishes as General Tsao's Soy Protein and Tofu Teriyaki Sizzling Platter a little suspect.

We're big fans of dim sum at Serious Eats and Nom Wah Tea Parlor, on Doyer Street in Manhattan's Chinatown,
does not disappoint. Nom Wah has been serving up dim sum since the early 1920s, and many of the chefs working in the kitchen have been there for 30 years—they're masters at what they do. We spent a few hours in the kitchen with all the chefs to see how some of our favorite dim sum dishes were made.

You can order
Chinese flowering chives with beef, or duck, or any number of other meats at Great NY Noodletown. We're fond of the duck, but really, the reason to order is the green stuff. (How often do we say that when duck is involved?)

Finding the best Xiao Long Bao—the famed soup-filled dumplings from Shanghai—in New York has always been a pet project of mine, but it's not an easy goal to accomplish. Given the magnitude of the task, I decided to break it down into more manageable, walkable segments. For our first installment, I limited my search area to Manhattan's Chinatown.

Anyone else wishing that the whole "I'm not going to put a sign up, people can find
me" trend that started with the speakeasy revivals and has seemed to have infiltrated the realm of restaurants would go away? I certainly did when I was trying to locate
Pulqueria, a new high-end Mexican bar and restaurant on Chinatown's Doyers Street.

In looking for great tofu in Chinatown, we headed down to
Buddha Bodai where we tried the
House Special Tofu ($12.95).

We've been on a tofu kick recently at Serious Eats. In its pure form, sure, refreshing and virtuous. But we've got no problem loading it down with meat and oil, either.

Red Egg has a fairly large dessert menu for a Chinese restaurant. Think fried green tea rice balls, red bean pudding, a spicy ginger crème brûlée, and more traditional sweets like sesame mochi balls and steamed milk and egg custard. All these desserts are portioned for one, with the exception of the
Coconut Pudding ($8).
