November 15th 2015: Taiwanese Lunch at Chung Shin Yuan, Newton

We had breakfast at the Broken Yolk Restaurant in Malden today, getting the Corned Beef Hash (two Eggs any style and home fries).

Nothing special, really.

MRA, 176 Pearl Street

Lunch today was at Chung Shin Yuan in Newton, a small but really popular Taiwanese restaurant in town.

We got the Soy Bean Milk (sweet),

the Pork Tripe Salad,

the Spicy Stewed Beef Noodle Soup,

the Small Steamed Buns,

the Tofu Jello in Light Syrup

and the Twisted Doughnut.

The milk was good, but we did not have the donut to dip into it at the time. The pork tripe was extremely spicy, but thankfully the beef stew wasn't. The tofu dessert was pretty good too, and I was glad we got the donuts at this point, because they were the crispiest and the best I have had to date. The only disappointment was the dumplings, with no soup and hence just pretty ordinary stuff. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place.
