This place feels pretty typical of SanChong – the best places look like the worst! A quick look at this menu and I started to get heart palpatations. Was this because my body knew what was coming (fat, fat and more delicious fat) or excitement? Both, I’ll go with both. steamy tofu, bubbling pork gravy,
