New Trendy Chinese Restaurant

My parents are always on the look out for new Chinese restaurants especially those that are near my apartment. If we go to Chinatown, we have to pay for parking, on top of just eating dinner and spending money on gas.

So this newly opened restaurant New Trendy Restuarant in Allston on Brighton Avenue (few doors down from Le's or former Pho Pasteur) has the New Business garlands with many red ribbons with gold writing wishing best wishes for the new business. The dining room is very welcoming and clean. We are welcomed with a plate of pickled daikon and carrots (a fave of mine). We get the "Lai tong" or soup of the day. My mom loves it as it is broth that takes a LONG time to make. I do not know what it is called but it is good. Next we have the fish with sugar snap peas. I like it. The sugar peas are still crisp and the sauce and fish are in a mild sauce. The grilled eel (with honey) get six pieces for $14 is good. But I would rather have unagi instead Japanese style. It does hold its own though. Then next is a dish with chicken "wong shan" I know my mom uses it in dried form for her herbal soups. I have never had it in fresh form. It is crispy as daikon or jicama but not too flavorful. But just for the health benefits alone I eat alot of it.

Dinner is ended with green bean soup, which is just right and not overly sweet. My parents want to come back again to try more stuff.
