Ahhh..I too love egg foo young!

Had you ever been to the China Royal in Fall River? In the late 60's and early 70's they had a tiny storefront with a great neon sign that was very diner-ish, and they were re-knowned thru New England as having the best pork egg foo young smothered in brown gravy, ever! It was great, and i also loved their "Fantail Shrimp".

Later they moved location, built a giant mega-restaurant, including a full-on immersive tiki bar and lounge with polynesian dancers and everything! It was the best and my family would drive from RI just to partake in the fun and food.

I have not tasted a egg foo young that lives up to my memories of this place.

I think it became a walmart. Now, after that savory memory, I am going to cry.

And another thing, how come most chinese restaurants don't serve using little metal dishes on pedestals anymore???
