After trying Din Tai Fung Dumpling House, as a group, our bellies weren’t satisfied. Therefore we went over to May Mei (Cantonese/Hong Kong Style) restaurant, to load-up on more food. We got there roughly 9ish, waited for 10 minutes or so for a table, not that bad for a Friday night. My braces were bothering me; therefore I decided to play it safe and went for porridge. I ordered the preserved egg w/pork porridge ($4.95). We all wanted to try one of the clay pot dish, so we ordered the beef cubes w/egg hot pot rice ($7.95). For the last entrée, we went with dumpling lo mein ($6.25), just to compare with the previous dumplings that we tried. The porridge came out first, it was nice, soothing and tasted like it should taste. We were all pretty happy with the porridge. Then came the dumpling lo mein, it’s pretty interesting the way they serve it here. I was expecting a bow of noodle with dumping on top, surrounded by the broth, but no, not exactly. I honestly like it better this way because you only pour in the amount of broth you’d like and when you want to, therefore the dumpling and noodle doesn’t get soggy toward the end of the meal. This dish was pretty tasty, I would recommend trying. The last dish to arrive was the beef cubes w/egg hot pot rice. The meat they used was very moist and the soy sauce was not salty, but rather it adds flavor to the rice, to me that was good quality sauce. Sauces should supplement the flavor of food, instead of adding saltiness. Overall, we were all very please with this down-to-earth restaurant. The price is very decent, the quality is there and well it’s just a good restaurant to go to for eating out. I would dine here again if I’m in the area, no doubt.
