Who would have thought there’s actually something worth trying at Sammy’s Noodle Shop & Grill?! The Chinese restaurant that occupies nearly the entire block certainly has an extensive menu, so after deep digging, and digging and digging, a friend chanced upon the sticky rice appetizer, listed as dim sum (steamed) on Sammy’s menu. This is a rather common dish of steamed gluttonous rice with dried fried shallot and Chinese sausage as the main ingredients that make it so tasty. Sticky rice is extremely dense so even as an appetizer for only $4.50, it makes a copious base for a meal.
