2011 began with a couple of pounding headaches among the four of us, but we knew just the cure: Elite Restaurant in Monterey Park.
Elite is not your average dim sum — many of the dishes have a twist to them, like the roe atop the shu mai and the toasted sesame seeds in a steamed pork bun. The selection is extensive and the portions are huge.
Our friends expertly chose some amazing dishes, including items we'd never tried before — like clay pot rice with pork and salted fish, and a custardy bun that oozed a sweet preserved egg yolk. It was both new and comforting at the same time.
We consumed just enough of a shiny, greasy dim sum slick to help us shake off last night's indiscretions...and just enough MSG to induce a much-needed afternoon nap.
