Sally "GODMOTHER OF CHINATOWN" W.'s Profile

A lot of home products that are way cool. Very small store.

The store is actually hard to find. Someone had to show me this store.

I love kitchen tools and gadgets. It's a fun store for me to browse in.

The only problem for me is the prices are a bit steep. I still would like to own most of the tools and gadgets in this store.

Can you imagine a huge loaf of yummy chewy fresh bread that is made that day for less than $3?

Well, it's here at Palermo. AWESOME!

There is also yummy looking and smelling pastries that I was trying to avoid. But if you don't care about calories and what not, you would say to me, "Forgetaboutit just get the darn pastries!!!!!!"

They take care of all your car needs. A one stop location for your car.

It's a Gulf gas station. It's a car wash. They change your oil for you. Supposedly they can do it in 10 minutes. It's a FULL service location.

If you get your car washed, you get 10 cents off each gallon at the pump!!! BOOYAH!

And they advertise free car wash with oil change.

If you go there  often enough you'll get your 10th car wash for free. They keep track of you on their computer so no punch card needed. It's 8.99 for full car wash. If you have a big Azz car..it's $2 more. $5.99 for exterior only. I had my car washed there. They seem more careful about cleaning your car here than other places I have been to.

Hey if you are hungry....it's a convenience store too.

The office orders "Chinese" food from Keilly's.

I have had it several times. It is just not my taste. I am not used to this kind of "Chinese" food. It very heavy in sugar and I find it a bit greasy and bit expensive for Chinese food.

And I am not sure if they clean the broccoli enough either. There were bugs on the broccoli that I ordered.

Personally I rather drive to Flushing for real Chinese food.

If you have an aversion to the PINK PEPTOL BISMOL color.....that is the color they painted inside of this restaurant.

BUT IF YOU LOVE INEXPENSIVE CHINESE FOOD THAT IS AUTHENTIC.....just ignore the pink Pepto Bismol color! I did!

I brought up the idea to my boyfriend to try this place. I can't wait to go back. I love the Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles here. The portion is GINORMOUS. And it is very very tasty. We also had the Beef with String Beans over rice. Both were delicious.

I just can't wait to come back to try the entire Pan Fried Noodle section of the menu.

I just wished they would open up later!!!! That is my only problem. They close the restaurant pretty early, for me, 9pm. If they opened later I would come here all the time.

New Wong Rest. Inc. is Godmother of Chinatown approved!

I signed up my boyfriend and I to a cooking demonstration, Small Budget, Big Flavor, at the Bowery Culinary Center.

The Bowery Culinary Center is a recreational cooking school within The Whole Foods Market located on 95 East Houston Street.

As Albert W. said, "...it was a perfect escape for something fun and instructional..." I couldn't put it better than how Albert W. put it.

The demo class had two instructors that were very clear and extremely informative. It was the best demo class I attended, ever. The main instructor's name is Min Liao but unfortunately I didn't catch the other instructor's name. Both instructors are AWESOME.

They also had a printout of the recipes for us to keep. I have been trying to get into this particular class for a long long long time but it is always "sold out" since the demo class I took is free.

What is my favorite breakfast item besides dim sum, now?

Freshly made Rice Rolls (Churng Fun in Cantonese) from Sun Hing Lung Co.

Pick either plain or with fillings like corn, chinese sausage, pork, beef, roast pork, yum.

The lady is going to pour the rice flour batter into a metal tray and throw some of your fillings spread around the batter and place it into a steamer. AWESOME...minutes later...you got freshly made hot Rice Roll made just for you. Pour some soy sauce on it.....BREAKFAST MADE FOR CHAMPIONS!

Grab a fork and enjoy!

NOTE: The lady stops serving rice rolls at 3:30pm!

It's near where I am staying in Chinatown. PERFECT.

There is wifi, PERFECT.

It's open mad early and closes late, PERFECT.

There is iced tea right now any size for 99 cents, PERFECT!!!

It would have been even better for me if it was open 24 hours but I'll deal with it.

uuuuuhhhhh.....what do you think the gods with do to me if I write a bad review on Yelp.........let's not test it, 5 star!

This is a Taoist Temple. The way Daoism or Taoism works is everything lives in harmony and balance. You know the Ying Yang symbol? That is part of Daoism, from what I understand. That things exist in harmony, man and woman, earth and water, your back with your front. Yin and yang are always opposite and equal qualities.

When one reaches its peak, it will without fail begin to transform into the opposite: for example, when a seed is planted in the spring, it reaches its bloom in the summer (yang) and then produce more seeds and die in winter (yin). This is an endless cycle and it happens again and again.

The way I see it, yin and yang means the opposites to me. In our world yin and yang exist together as parts of a mutual whole.

This is Taoism to me, I think.

So taking the stuff above.....if I write review that is good, the gods is going to smile at me...if I write a bad review.....I might as well say bye to everyone now!

5 stars for peace and harmony in my world!

They have snacks in the back also besides the bakery items. I have tried their chorizo, chicharron and empanadas. They are decent.

The bakery items in the case look yummy! They also have daily food specials. Yummy!
