Michelle's Pancakes (not what you think)

I have been subscribing to the LA Times newspaper in an effort to further my education about the news and current events. Of course I love the food section and have found some new places to check out. Michelle's Pancake was one of those restaurant finds. I am a big fan of trying new and interesting places and I love Chinese food. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and is a small place but the turnover is pretty fast. We tried a few things that everyone looked to be enjoying. We had the plain green onion cake which was cooked perfectly and not too oily. It could be dipped in this extremely garlicky concoction on the table. We also had some steamed dumplings with pork and leeks which was light and healthier tasting. My favorite was the special beef and leek cake. Beef, leeks and some tasty juices were wrapped in a onion cake like layer and pan fried. Looked like a manju to me. When you bite into it, it sort of explodes. Very tasty. If you are interested, read the article....if you are anything like me, it will definitely tempt you to go.
