This Lan Zhou Hand Pulled is relatively new on Division St in Manhattan Chinatown. I got the House Special with all types of beef you probably wouldn’t normally eat like tripe (Stephen Baldwin is a wuss?), tail (I love tail), and omasa. What is beef omasa? The Internet doesn’t even know. I wasn’t sure if my noodle was really hand pulled because it looked like ramen. But I did see one noodle a tiny bit bigger than the other, so maybe so? …I prefer the hand pulled on East Broadway. But this one on Division does also have Banh Mi.

Wah Mei Pork Chop

Tried this hole in the wall for a fried pork chop over rice with some cabbage, pickled greens and brown pork sauce combination. $4.50 and hard boiled egg is 45cents. I was trying to decide if the trip was worth saving a dollar from the fried chicken at NYC Cravings Truck. Maybe if you’re on your way to buy a bubble blowing gun. As I’m writing this, I found a better post and pics than I could make about this place. So…

Huge line of Chinese steam trays for you to point and pick. The awning says 5 – combinations for $4. But it is really 5 for $4.50. But if you take out it is $3.50. But rice counts as 1, so you really get 4. You get free soup so it is back to 5 or maybe 6 if rice is 1. I dunno. Chinese are supposed to be good at math.

Chinese Broccoli Sandwich

At the outdoor market on East Broadway and Forsyth under the Manhattan bridge, they sell Chinese breads and other fried stuff. I noticed two different pre-wrapped sandwiches. One with beef and one with Chinese Broccoli (Kai-lan). Which pill to take? I wasn’t sure how safe the meat one was, so I went with the veggie, plus it was colorful. Then I thought, “Why would a Chinese Broccoli sandwich be a good idea?” Sounds gross. That is until I ate the whoofed down the whole thing. It’s awesome! Surprisingly delicious! It was stir-fry oily style which soaked into the sesame seed bun. $1.25 holmes. My reality has been shattered.
