Ooh, chandavkl is doubling down with an LA Weekly review!

Glancing at Yelp pictures, these dishes are either custom off menu (pre)order, or they exist on some other menu that’s not on the regular or takeout prints.
Chinese sausage claypot rice (Lap Mei Fan) 臘味飯
Lotus Leaf rice (rice or fried rice steamed with lotus leaf, it’s like a giant lor mai gai but not using glutinous rice) 荷葉飯
Taro stuffed duck 香酥芋泥鴨 - Slices of duck meat, mashed taro, and a crispy exterior (like taro dumplings in dim sum), it can’t be those preorder braised ducks on the regular menu as this is fried.
Ground black sesame paste (dessert) - could be something they rotate on the dessert of the day?
