Treasure in the Jung
Oakland Chinatown, except for places like Tây Hồ, Bình Minh Quán, and the Korean restaurant on 13th street, carried on its everyday business on Thanksgiving as if it were a town in China. The Chinese dedication is admirable and to be grateful for. Without it I would haven’t had two meals worth of $1.75 wrapped in bamboo leaves. Yes, two meals.
Jung, as the lady at Sum Yee Pastry pronounced, is a heavy deal. At first I thought it was a Vietnamese banh gio, except for the leaf wrapper being dried instead of smooth, damp, and waxy. I asked her for the name and couldn’t make out what she was saying, I asked her to write it down but she didn’t know how, she then asked if I was Vietnamese and switched to my mother tongue in her mixed Chinese tongue to explain that this thing is eaten on May 5th just like banh chung is eaten during Tet. Aha, so it’s zong zi, the great great great grandfather of banh u tro! Turns out zong zi (just a different, and much more common, pinyin name of jung) are sold year round nowadays.
This zong zi in particular has different fillings from its regional variations in China or Malaysia, and certainly bears little resemblance to the sweet version (gan shui hong dao sha joong), as its main feature is mung bean paste. (Sum Yee has the peanut type for the same price, too, though I’m not sure if it’s peanut paste or whole peanut.) The barbecued pork and lap cheong are rather dry, the sticky rice cements my stomach, I reluctantly wrap up one half for dinner. Little do I know I’ve saved the better half for last. There is a salted egg yolk embedded in that corner. 😀 *Dancing hearts*
Address: Sum Yee Pastry* in Oakland Chinatown

(*) It actually has a whole long array of savory dinner dishes, steamers of pork buns and relatives, and if my memory hasn’t failed, just one corner of pastries

23Thanks , I’ve recently been looking for information about this subject for ages and yours is the best I’ve discovered so far. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
24In this grand design of things you actually secure a B+ for hard work. Exactly where you lost us was in the details. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be more correct at this point. Having said that, let me say to you exactly what did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is definitely rather powerful which is most likely why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can notice the leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not really certain of how you appear to unite the ideas that make the actual conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your issue however hope in the foreseeable future you connect the dots much better.
25The following time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to read, but I actually thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you may fix when you werent too busy in search of attention.

Your concept is excellent; the problem is something that not sufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very joyful that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

37Together with almost everything that appears to be building inside this specific subject material, all your perspectives are actually somewhat radical. Nonetheless, I beg your pardon, because I do not subscribe to your entire theory, all be it stimulating none the less.

48Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
