  • June 11, 2017 (Sunday Evening)
    • Had a late dinner at 8.30 PM after the Miley Cyrus performance at the Pride Concert.
    • It was quite easy to get a seat either inside or outside, not sure if it was because it was a late Sunday evening dinner.
    • Tried the Roasted Duck Noodle Soup
      • Hand Made Noodle - it was thick - and bland 
      • Soup - not too strong or salty, but just a light taste which I really like
      • Roasted Duck - OK it was pretty much a normal Duck you get in Chinatown
      • One comment though I feel like I would have just wanted the Duck as part of the BBQ Platter with Rice :(
    • Customer Service - they were very attentive and nice - quite different from your usual Chinese stalls you usually go to.









Roast Duck Noodle SoupApparently, one of the must-trys of Washington DC
Thrillist (In one of the 50 Things to Eat in DC)

"Located on a grungy corner of Chinatown, the large plate glass window in the front of Chinatown Express tells you all you need to know about what you’re getting: freshly made, hand-pulled noodles. The no-frills hole in the wall plops them into a savory duck broth and tops them with wilted bok choy, sliced scallions, and crisp-skinned roast duck."

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea Instructions

  Actual Tiger Sugar (This is their Black Sugar + Pearl Milk Tea with Mousse) Oolong (Red) and Peach (Green) Tiger Sugar Tea that costs like <$3.00 per cup March 13, 2021 I have tried "The Alley" instant milk tea, now I found Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea in the Chinese Grocery Store (Hong Kong Plaza) in Rowland Heights, CA and costing $2.98 each .  There were three kinds: The traditional Black Sugar, Oolong, and Peach.  Since I like my milk tea with actual "tea" so I only bought the Oolong and Peach Tea flavored one.  Now I tried looking for the instructions in YT, since there were no instructions in the cup (it was kinda all in Chinese).  So I googled and found the instructions in Etsy  (and priced there for $7.99 per set or 2 cups, kinda pricy as the mark up is like 25% more than in the supermarkets ) Where I bought it? Hong Kong Supermarket (18414 Colima Rd #1, Rowland Heights, CA 91748) Instructions: Submerge the Tea Bag into 450 ml (~2 cups) of hot water
