deprived of good chinese food...

i have such a craving for good chinese food.... i miss my mummy's cooking so much now!!! i miss my dow si leng yu farn in the mornings... my porridge... my tomato, egg and beef dish... *sob*... but hey - i guess that's to be expected!

but what i didn't expect was the following:

1. no GOOD YUM CHA!! i have not found 1 decent yum cha restaurant in NYC! not even in chinatown!!! i am so shocked... i've even asked my chinese colleagues at work, but none of what they've suggested can compare to sydney - let alone HK!

2. no local congee in midtown!! i want congee in the mornings... i have such a HUGE craving for good congee with yow tiew, and bbq pork rice noodle rolls... there are like, a dozen chinese restaurants here, but none that do congee!!! i think i'll just need to travel to chinatown on the weekends for that... :(

hmm.... my tummy's going gggRRRrrRRRrr... i think i'll just need to settle for japanese tonight! hehe..
