Real Chinese Food In New Orleans! Amazing


I had been having difficulty to find a real Chinese restaurant for a while. I found one in Kenner. It was pretty real. But they don't have my favorite dishes.  So I stop going there as usual. On last Saturday, my husband and I went to a Chinese gathering. On the gathering, I found there was a book full of Chinese businesses. Some restaurant had caught my eyes by saying they have authentic food. I was surprised. I decided to try one out. So today after school, my husband and I went to one of them. This one is called China Rose, on N Arnoult Street, Metairie. We had been to this one before to ask takeaway menu. But there was nothing special to me on the menu, so we never went back. But today when we walked in, the waitress asked us if we want American menu or Chinese menu. I said, Chinese menu. When I took a look at the Chinese menu, I was amazed. They have lots of Chinese dishes that I used to eat in China. The pictures above are two of them. The spicy dish as you see, in Chinese we called “Shui zhu yu pian”, which means water boiled fish slices. If you ask a Chinese about this dish, I dare to say nobody doesn't know it. It is one of the Chinese favorites. The second picture it's called "Xiao long bao". Means steamed soup bun. It has soup inside. I craved for spicy Chinese dish for a long time, finally I had found one. And the steamed soup bun that's something I always want my husband to try. I'm happy I had found a real Chinese restaurant. Now when I'm craving for Chinese food I know where I should go.
Tell everybody a tip: when you go to a Chinese restaurant, always ask if they have Chinese menu. Sometimes they give American American menu, which is the Americanized Chinese food, and the Chinese menu only for Chinese, because they think American won't like the real one. I heard in New York they have separated menus. I didn't know so as here.
