Outside my new apt in NYC Chinatown !

I've sublet my apt in San Francisco and decided trying to live in NY for the summer. I had a apt in Chelsea for June and a couple of days ago, I moved in to my new sublet in the middle of Chinatown. Great Apt with all amenities and tons of space for NYC and located in the middle of the hustle-bustle of NYC Chinatown and good roomates too, also working in startups. I took this picture this morning when I got out of my door.

Nothing beats a freshly made noodles in a great broth. I sat facing the kitchen and was amazed to see the chef make noodles from scratch starting from the dough and twisting and turning it till I had what I had in my bown :)

Chinese New Year Parade 2010 in San Francisco !

I was driving on Saturday evening to go to the East Bay, when I stumbled upon the Chinese New Year Parade on Market St. I parked and got a few shots before going to the East Bay. The Chinese New Year Parade of San Francisco is among the biggest in the non-asian world. It was a huge procession with lots of floats and participants. I was very impressed for the short time I got to enjoy it.

Pork truck in San Francisco Chinatown

I was strolling in Chinatown in San Francisco this past week and they were having a pork delivery. Looks pretty gross and sad how these pigs are sliced sideways in two.

Chicken with Explosive Chilli Peppers - Hottest Dish I've ever had...

Tonight I had the hottest ever dish in my life - Chicken with Explosive Chili Peppers at the Z & Y Schezuan Chinese restaurant in San Francisco Chinatown. I think it had more peppers than chicken - very tasty though. I can't wait to try all the other hot schezuan specialities at Z & Y.

Chinatown Fruits Gallore

Strolling through San Francisco Chinatown early Saturday morning, I liked the wide variety of fruits they had and just had to snap some pics. Everything looked so perfect and huge, but yet so cheap -- I wonder where they come from and how much chemicals/hormones have been used on them.

Saturday Morning Dim Sum with Pravin and Bhavik

Last Friday night, Pravin and Bhavik had stayed at my place after we finished Asian Massive at 1015.

On Saturday morning, decided to take them to Chinatown for brunch. We decided to do some Dim Sum at one of the many dim-sum places on Jackson Street between Kearny and Grant.

We went there around 9:30a.m and it was very very packed. We were probably the only non-chinese people in there.

They pass by with the different dim sum dishes every few minutes and we can pick what we want. We got 6 dishes and that fed us good for all afternoon :)

Dim Sum before work..

Rather than walking or biking to work, decided to catch the Marina express bus.. The closest stop to work is only one and 1/2 blocks away from my favorite hall in the wall dim sum place in chinatown. Hard to resist not having some dim sum..

I had 4 pieces as u see in the pic below..Shrimp and Chives, Chicken and Vegetable, Shark fin steamed dumplings and fried meat dumpling.

All that for $2.20!

The place is called House of Dimsum and is found close to Jackson st and Grant St. (http://www.yelp.com/biz/house-of-dim-sum-san-francisco ).

Gota love working close to Chinatown :)
