Great quality food (but very expensive as well)~ The roast pork here is a must try (and don’t forget to dip in the sugar)

Chicago Eats: Crazy Pot 味道餐館

Hot pot is great with quality ingredients, the rest of the dishes are too salty and just alright.

My ratings: ❤❤❤
Price range: $$-$$$

豬骨煲火鍋
The pot sits on top of a gas stove. Great quality soup — the soup was milky white and you can suck the bone marrow out.

砂煲冬菇炆鵝掌
Again, this also sits on top of a gas stove. It’s alright, but I did think it was too salty.

Chicago Eats: Sweet Station 糖潮

We came here for late night snack. Despite the name of the restaurant, there are more savoury food on the menu than the sweet ones. Food was alright and service was ok.

Chicago Eats: Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta

Food was very salty, and the pie was terrible. The crust was dry and flavourless, it was almost like eating thick cardboard. The filling didn’t taste that fresh either. Quite disappointed because the ratings seemed promising.

Chicago Eats: Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria

✣ Top pick ✣

I always thought deep dish pizza = pizza with a very hard and thick crust. I thought I would never like it, but I would still give it a try if I’m ever in Chicago. So in April 2013, I had my very first deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s, and I am complete convert to this delicious pie (has to be a quality one though, as later on I had a terrible pie during my trip in Chicago….). The buttercrust is light and crispy, yet it is able to hold all those delicious fillings inside the pie. Great atmosphere and excellent service as well!

My ratings: ❤❤❤❤❤
Price range: $$

Beef sandwich
Tender beef smothered with melted mozzarella, with sweet peppers and french fries
This classic sandwich is a must-try, if you still have room for it after having the deep dish pie

The Maltani Chicago Classic
Made with Lou’s lean sausage, some extra cheese and vipe-ripened tomato sauce on Buttercrust. It’s authentic Chicago!
