After six years, Davidâs Mai Lai Wah reopens its renovated dining room, complete with a new cocktail bar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the pandemic didnât fully close Chinatown mainstay Davidâs Mai Lai Wah, it did shutter its dining room. First opened in 1982 by Hong Kong native David Chan, it became legendary over the years both for its food â in particular, its salt and pepper chicken wings, their spicy, crowd-pleasing adaptation of the classic Cantonese dish made with squid â and for catering to a sometimes rowdy late-night crowd, which started in 1992. Since 2020, Davidâs Mai Lai Wah has only operated as a t
The best thing Kiki Aranita ate this week: Candy-shaped pasta from Fiorella (opens the original)
Read excerpt

At the Mid-Autumn Festival, one four major Chinese holidays â which falls on Sept. 25 this year â people give and receive them much like fruitcakes at Christmas (without anyone actually eating them). One Philadelphia pastry chef is reversing mooncakesâ bad rap. Nobody in Philly is making mooncakes like Anna Chen, the o
