Pearl River Deli
I was excited to try @JLee’s latest two-week pop-up at the former bao haus next to howlin’ ray’s. Unfortunately this was not @JLee’s best effort. i believe this was his first day so hopefully he can turn things around.

char siu scramble sando, pineapple bun
this was pretty unique, i never had anything like this before. reminded me of a char siu bao with the addition of scrambled eggs. highlight.
char siu
nicely flavored and tender char siu that was on the lean side.
soy sauce chicken
well cooked chicken but didn’t have much soy sauce flavor at all.
typhoon shelter shrimp
shrimp were nice and crispy but again not much flavor. not sure the ginger scallion sauce works with this.
the biggest disappointment was the rice in all three dishes, it was quite possibly the worst i’ve ever had. it was wet, gummy, mushy and just way overcooked. it almost had the consistency of a mochi. it was inedible. next time i’ll have to bring my own rice cooker again. the egg noodles that i tried weren’t much better.
