Elite Restaurant | Monterey Park, CA | 03.06.10

There have only been a few things that have made me say “holy shit” upon eating. In no particular order:

- Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Pancakes from Buttermilk Truck,
- Lemon Custard from Gastrobus (only available at the Los Feliz Market on Sundays)
- The Elite BBQ Pork Bun from Elite Restaurant.

Goddamn, these things were delicious… lightly brushed with honey… or magic. I’m not sure, but I wanted more. You will also encounter weird things like Chicken Feet, Tripe, Duck Tongue (actually not bad, but I couldn’t get past the fact that I was eating tongue) and Coca Cola braised chicken wings.

If you want GOOD dim sum, please make the trek to this place. It’s absolutely worth it.
