I always get the real Chinese food partly because the per pound buffet always ends up costing too much. The roast pork and duck are both excellent. In Chinatown fashion, you get a vegetable (usually Chinese Broccoli or Bok Choy) included with either. I also recommend the Ma Po Tofu and Chinese broccoli with ground pork and salty fish.

The ammonia smell you (shouldn't be) smelling is from the lye water that's used to make the yellow egg noodles. It's a harmless alkaline but offensive if not rinsed off properly. Lye water is used to make the noodles bouncy, if that makes any sense. You remove the odor by blanching the noodles well before use/serving. Guess this place has lazy cooks! re: Illumita.

It has helped me figure out what I should eat for lunch so many times. I LOVE Hing Won and go there frequently but recently I've noticed a strong ammonia smell in my egg noodles when I order noodle soups. After I get a whiff of that, my appetite is totally gone. What could it be and is it safe?! First off, I’d like to say, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! It has helped me figure out what I should eat for lunch so many times.
