breakfast east and west

EAST
dim sum at star kitchen this weekend was mostly disappointing, the covering of har gow (shrimp dumpling) was falling a part and the pineapple buns were stiff.  The only highlight was the glutinous rice in a lotus leaf which had nice chunks of pork, mushroom and salty egg.  I hope this is just a phase.....


WEST
$2 breakfast burritos from Santiago's, a homegrown chain famous for their green chile.  I visited the one on 25th and Federal which includes a makeshift drive through.  The tortilla was filled with egg, cheese, chorizo and half and half (mild and hot) green chile.  So satisfying! Westword and 5280 were both right on target for best breakfast burrito!

Plate score:9.5
