Late Night Yummies – JJ Cafe
JJ Cafe is your typical Monterey Park/Alhambra Cantonese late night cafe. You might have tried Garden Cafe, ABC, Sunday Bistro, and others. They all serve similar items on their menus. JJ’s features several rice dishes including Fu Zhou Fried Rice as well as some noodle dishes.
Fu Zhou fried rice is a favorite for a few friends of mine. This particular fried rice dish is “wet” with the sauce they smother. With small diced pork or chicken, with green peas and mushrooms.
Personally, I like the pork chop or the chicken steak with black bean sauce. The black bean sauce is what makes these cafes unique. You won’t find this type of black bean sauce anywhere.
These cafes are open late and are a great deal. Dishes start around $6 or so. On weekends, you’ll find the clubbing crowd there after 2am.
