NYCer lost in Tx

[Wilson]

As the title says, I'm lost as to where to find the foods I love from my native city. I'm here on business for a couple months and have been to bellaire. With the help of some lovely ladies they were able to point me out to a place called house of bowls for what I have been craving, ho fun. However it was drenched in oil and I wanted to know are there any other places for it?

I'm use to my noodletown, big wong and all the other wong places for the wonton/char siu ho fun and congees. The "takes outs" I have tried always think that I'm talking about fried rice when I say I want a beef chow fun. Its like they never heard of it before.

Please help this lost new yorker find a cure for his homesickness with a little taste of home. Many thanks in advance! ;D

Welcome to Houston! Man there are so many good Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. I think ChinatownConnection.com's dining guide does a great job introducing some restaurants. Also, if you like wonton/noodle soup bowl, you should try Xiong's Cafe
in Sterling Plaza, next to Golden Foods Supermarket on Bellaire. Here is their number: [phone]

Try Tan Tan Chinese Restaurant, 6816 Ranchester (Intersection of Bellaire and Ranchester). They have congee, ho phun. Their ph#[phone].
