Milanesa de Pollo Napolitana

This will likely be the first of many posts about milanesa.

Milanesa is essentially a chicken-friend steak you'd find in the Southern United States. Insome places, you can get the Milanesa style for chicken and some fish.

Here's a quick shot of one I had recently from El Club de Milanesa in Palermo.

It's a pounded flat piece of chicken, lightly breaded and fried. It's then topped with a razor thin piece of smoked ham, topped with a tomato sauce and then melted mozzarella. So it's basically a pizza with meat instead of dough. I'll take it over a US style "chicken parm" any day.

Suppenküche

I've almost always made sure when I travel to the Bay area, that I goto this place. In fact, I've driven and flown from LA just to go there. I've had little luck finding a comparison to te fine Bavarian food from Germany and Suppenkuche is a fine alternatative to flying to Europe.

A quick reminder...Saturday is the only day for the Roast Suckling Pig in beer sauce with the bread dumplings. I recommend swapping sour kraut in favor of the red cabbage...it's a better pairing in my book.

Yank Sing: Soup Dumplings & Dim Sum

Yank Sing soup dumplings with Chinese broccoli

Two words: soup dumplings (or Xiao Long Bao). Regardless of what you call them, they are morsels of heaven. No longer does man have to slum it with dumplings in soup...we can all enjoy soup in a dumpling.

I've only had them at 3-4 other places, but have gone out of my way to return to Yank Sing for theirs.

In addition to the basic compliment of Chinese broccoli, I also am a big fan of their stuffed shrimp (photo below).
