FYI the salt is called Ma Yim. There appears to be no english translation for it.

I love your site – it is so interesting! It has inspired me to explore the foods in my hometown in Florida.

My husband and I are heading out to Vancouver in a week for two nights before boarding a cruise. Are there any restaurants that we MUST check out while there? Thanks so much!

LOL. Why does everyone describe those unique meats as always tasting “like chicken”.

The ‘white nut’ is a direct translation from chinese. It’s actually ginko nut.

I always love it when I find one of these non-descript, generic spots that ends up being a big surprise and not the “unmemorable food” variety. Always worth checking them out I say, in case a diamond does come out of the rough. Pretty adventurous with the quail head here (the picture sure is shocking!), I wouldn’t do that even on a bet.
