Edison, NJ Shrimp Fun Noodle recommendations
I am not sure if many people know of this dish, but I declared it one of my favorite foods to eat. They serve it at Wonder Seafood on their Dim Sum menu which ends at 3:00 PM. Now, It is past 3:00 PM and I want to eat this. For anyone who doesn't know this dish they can visit the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_noo...
Essentially the shrimp version is 3 pieces (the number varies) of shrimp inside a thin rice noodle roll with some sweet soy sauce on top of it. It's amazing, they also have variants like beef (which I really liked also!). Now I know Wonder Seafood cannot be the only place in Edison which serves this type of dim sum. There used to be a place on Rt 1 before Woo Jeon existed there, which was a Chinese place which is where I was introduced to this dish about 14 years ago. I never knew the dish name until recently when a friend showed me a picture and I realized it was one of my favorite dishes growing up.
Does anyone know if there is any other place that serves this rice noodle roll in Edison? I really want an option to get it after 3:00 PM. I hope someone is familiar and can help me. Thank you so much!

There used to be an amazing chinese place on Route 1 in Edison that served Dim Sum on the weekends but then it shut down. This was in 1997. Cheung Du was the name of the place.
So I started going to a place in Iselin on Route 1 that had Dim Sum on the weekends, I think it is still there King something or other. Right next to the Staples on Green Street, I think.
I know they had something like this. Not sure if they still do.
I know that chinese supermarket too - the best one in all of NJ in my opinion. Asian Food Center on Route 27?? I used to go there a lot when I lived in Iselin. I miss the place. The closest to me now is a market in Somerville. It doesn't have half the stuff that Asian Food Center has, a very small produce dept and frozen dept. I think they also sell dim sum on the weekends for sale.

It's right where rt1/9 split if you are going south. You can't miss it. It's huge with a big red King's Chef sign.

That's a Dim Sum dish. Traditionally they are not served after Dim Sum hours which unfortunately ends around 3 pm. If you find any after 3pm, it would be ones that are not make fresh.
Any Chinese restaurant that serves Dim Sum will probably have this dish i.e. Sunny Palace, 1-9 Seafood Restaurant, Crown Palace, etc... however, after 3 pm, you probably can't find it.In Cantonese, this dish is called Steamed "Cheung Fun" -- "Cheung Fun" literally means intestine noodle.. it's just a description of the shape of those noodle there are no intestine in it.
The frozen one's are going to be a little soggier than the fresh one and without as much meat and shrimp in it. i do believe they come with a small packet of the soy sauce.

Yeah, sorry... huge difference between fresh and frozen food, big surprise :-)
I doubt there is any 24/7 dim sum plance anywhere in the world, let alone NJ, although there really should be some.
If you are a Dim Sum lover, you should really visit Hong Kong when you have a chance. However, you might have a difficult time eating Dim Sum in any U.S. chinese restaurant after that.
