Guest Guest:lingxi99_* Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Lao gan ma I love it! I haven't found it in the US yet but then I haven't checked in a hard core Chinatown area. I think my fave is the one that also has a bit of dry shredded beef in it. 149961[/snapback] I am from Chongqing, too. I also love it very much. I can buy it in my city. Link to comment

They also have excellent refrigerated or frozen locally made Chinese foods such as dumplings, wontons, and "glue balls" (rice flour balls filled with different things) which I like for breakfast on the weekend. I make a few glue balls, call lao po on the webcam, and enjoy having breakfast with her. Link to comment

Joanne Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) What's Lao gan ma? 165338[/snapback]"ÀϸÉÂè". This is a brand name of a hot sauce from ¹óÑô¡£Very delicious. You should try it out if you like hot pepper. It should be available at any supermarket in any city. Edited November 2, 2005 by Joanne (see edit history) Link to comment
