Liang’s Kitchen 梁媽媽
I’m not sure what the official Chinese or English name is for this dish, but it’s essentially sliced beef wrapped in a green onion pancake with a touch of Hoisin sauce. Absolutely delicious when shared, but the oil from the green onion pancake is a bit much if you overindulge.

Howie’s Artisan Pizza, Palo Alto, CA
Returned to Howie’s Artisan Pizza for some more good food and photos: The delicious flatbread that accompanies the hummus and tahini appetizer. Who can resist warm, soft, puffy flatbread? Great plain or with the hummus. The above-mentioned hummus and tahini. Finally, I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich just for variety. Loved everything except for the…

Thank goodness for the photo because I could not read the Chinese and the English was utterly incomprehensible. At first, I thought the dish was named after a Chinese senator named Bao Zhikou. It could be possible, much like how Dongpo Pork 东å¡è‚‰ bears the name of è‹ä¸œå¡. From the photo, the pièce de résistance…
