Delivery to the hills would be a plus, but I'm not picky. Wed Dec 27 13:35:05 -0800 2000 0 Roger L. Simon 1 235253 Forget it--there isn't any such thing. I live in the Hollywood Hills and we either go to Chinatown or even Monterey Park. The closest good Chinese food is a place called Kim Yen, 4806 Melrose (@ Harvard), but in the 15 minutes to get there you could be in Chinatown. There used to be a placed called Diamond on Cahuenga which was very good, but they sold out a couple of years ago. Lots of good Thai in Hollywood, but regrettably no Chinese.

(And I was trying to save on gas.) Wed Jan 03 16:58:55 -0800 2001 235256 0 Roger L. Simon 4 235306 Better to splurge on gas than settle for lousy Chinese food.

All you need is to boil some chicken broth and shredded pork, season with a mix of Chinese red vinegar, rice vinegar and white pepper. Then add in the veggies (tofu, wood ear, bamboo, etc) and right before you serve, you can stir in some egg. I live in the Hollywood area too, and this is my only solution when I'm craving some hot& sour and don't want to drive. Fri Jan 05 13:22:36 -0800 2001 235306 0 Jennifer W
