Another surprising aspect of Philly’s Chinatown was the amount of bakeries there, almost every block would have 3-4. They’re usually the hybrid of a Hong Kong style bakery (with tradition stuff like Pineapple bun, cocktail bun) with Taiwanese tea drinks and taro buns. I sampled a few and found this place to be my favorite: Green Land Teahouse

Didn’t score a Cinco de Mayo for quiz, but it’s probably for the best. I mean, the Mexican victory at the Battle of Puebla against the French is all well and good, but it’s got nothing on Mexican Independence Day or my favorite holiday, Guy Fawke’s Night.

“Try the Grand Union burgers,” someone, I can’t remember who, suggested the other week. Come to think of it, it may have been Grand Union themselves, but as I’ve mentioned, I’m not doing freebies anymore. There’s part of me that wishes I was brazen and morally deficient enough to suck back as many free meals as possible and to hell with the consequences – in fact, there’s quite a large part of me that is – but the exhausted, abused white angel on the other shoulder has just enough influence to render any such invitations sufficiently awkward so as to be no fun at all.
