OUR CHINATOWN FOOD TOUR JOURNEY:
Dim Sum Feast: We dive fork-first into the heart of Chinatown with a Dim Sum feast that’s oh-so-delish! As we munch and crunch, we’ll chat about the exciting tales of America’s eldest Chinatown, setting the perfect tone for our Chinatown food tour. Bring an appetite and curiosity!
Fortune’s Origins: Next, we journey to the magical world of the fortune cookie factory. Let’s sample a cookie (or five) and see if our fortune predicts a food coma!
Bubble Tea & Alleyways: After refreshing ourselves with the town’s freshest bubble tea, we delve deep into Chinatown’s storied alleyways. Here we uncover tales of the notorious gambling block, sailors, 10-cent haircuts, and dreams of a new world, adding layers to our culinary exploration.
Local Pastries: The adventure intensifies as we visit a heritage bakery for a Chinese snack. We marvel at a church that stood tall during the 1906 earthquake and step into the park that heralded the Gold Rush era, essential stops on our Chinatown food tour.
Cantonese Tastes: Weather check! If it’s sunny, we picnic in the park; if not, we cozy up in a local eatery. Either way, we brace ourselves for a Cantonese flavor explosion. Prepare to have those taste buds dancing!
Tea Traditions: As we wind down, it’s tea time, but with a twist! At a nostalgic tea shop, we sip, slurp, and learn. This is where we delve into why tea isn’t just a drink in Chinese culture—it’s a whole mood. And who knows? We might just make friends with a Chinatown local.
