Food Lust

Jerry is a church dude who is known as the most discerning Chinese food diner out of all of us. Perhaps it's because his family owns a Chinese restaurant.

While dining at the newly renovated Mulan the other day, I asked him which Massachusetts restaurant has the most authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food. Jerry immediately answered, "Chung-shin Yuan in Newton."

Apparently they have the most amazing Taiwanese brunch menu on the weekends. I've heard stories from co-workers who live in the neighborhood about the long lines of customers they see everytime they drive past the building. Church folk have told tales of waiting an hour before the 11:30 AM first seating... Jerry's even had to wait over an hour for take-out.

I'm so eager to try this place for myself. Though, even more intimidating is Jerry's advice to bring someone with me who can read Chinese (apparently translations won't help you much).
