For the last 100 years, Nom Wah Tea Parlor has been slinging some of the world's greatest dim sum from New York's Chinatown. Now owner Wilson Tang tells the story of how the restaurant came to be--and how to prepare their legendary dishes in your own home.

Nom Wah Tea Parlor isn't simply the story of dumplings, though there are many folds to it. It isn't the story of bao, though there is much filling. It's not just the story of dim sum, although there are scores and scores of recipes. It's the story of a community of Chinese immigrants who struggled, flourished, cooked, and ate with abandon in New York City. (Who now struggle, flourish, cook, and eat with abandon in New York City.) It's a journey that begins in Toishan, runs through Hong Kong, and ends up tucked into the corner of a street once called The Bloody Angle.

In this book, Nom Wah's owner, Wilson Tang, takes us into the hardworking kitchen of Nom Wah and emerges with 75 easy-to-make recipes: from bao to vegetables, noodles to desserts, cakes, rice rolls, chef's specials, dumplings, and more.

We're also introduced to characters like Mei Lum, the fifth-generation owner of porcelain shop Wing on Wo, and Joanne Kwong, the lawyer-turned-owner of Pearl River Mart. He paints a portrait of what Chinatown in New York City is in 2020. As Wilson, who quit a job in finance to take over the once-ailing family business, struggles with the dilemma of immigrant children--to jettison tradition or to cling to it--he also points to a new way: to savor tradition while moving forward. A book for har gow lovers and rice roll junkies, The Nom Wah Cookbook portrays a culture at a crossroads.

My favorite sunscreen
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
Protects quite well and still working while working out. Feels like a cream instead of a thin lotion.

Thickkkkkkkk
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen worked well when we went to a clothing optional beach in 101°f weather - neither my husband or I burned at all and I spent most of the time in the water! My friend and her husband used a way more expensive brand and both burned. This stuff is thick. It sits on the skin even after being in the water and isn't super easy to get off. The second time I applied it I went back into the water and tried to kind of wash it off of my hands and it wouldn't come off at all, so my hands had a visible thick layer on them the entire 2 hours I swam. I even used sand and rubbed my hands - nothing. I finally had to use a baby wipe and then wash with warm water and soap twice in an actual bathroom to get it off, but since it was all over my skin it also got all over my husband's brand new car and isn't easy to clean off. We will definitely use it again because the protection was worth it, but maybe use it a little more sparingly! I have a tendency to slather it on because I got so burnt last year I had blisters and needed rx burn meds and iv fluids to recover 🤣
