Fat's Asia Bistro
OUR GO-TO: Dim Sum Basket featuring Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Shu Mei and Chicken Pot Stickers. TRY THIS: As much as I try and limit my carb intake, I have come to the conclusion that one cannot go through life without pasta—be it Italian, Asian or any other for that matter. If you haven’t tried Fat’s Bulgogi Pork Lo Mein, do yourself a solid and give it a try. Pork loin in a Korean style marinade, grilled and served over lo mien noodles with cabbage, carrots, and green and yellow onions, it’s a flavor freight train and you need to get on board. —LR 1500 Eureka Road, Roseville 916-787-3287; 2585 Iron Point Road, Folsom, 916-983-1133, fatsasiabistro.com
