Kass,
If you're coming from someplace like NYC, that has great steakhouses routinely serving dry aged primed with a nice crusty char, you will probably be disappointed in Dickie Brennan's and Delmonico. Go to La Boca and take Jag's menu recommendations. It really is delicious.

I use them for several dishes: spare ribs in garlic and black bean sauce, lobster sauce, as a change instead of hot bean sauce for eggplant in yu-xiang sauce. I have a recipe for stir fried spicy clams in black bean sauce that I want to try although I may hold off till I visit the Jersey shore early...

I went up and down the aisles at Hong Kong market, no luck . I finally asked and was told they don't have them. Does anyone know who does? FWIW, they carry Goya Valencia rice for paella. It's considerably cheaper than Bomba with great results.

Maybe another time, Jag. My son is a great stand in for his dad.
