Reply to comment by JacobHH0124 in Fellow Philly Jews, where are you eating Chinese tonight? by diatriose

Unit Su Vege is a boon for my partner who can't have authentic Chinese food because of all the lard. Also the food is just amazingly delicious and the staff are super friendly!

Tell me more about lard in Chinese food? This is not something I’ve heard

Pork lard is pretty common to use in authentic Chinese food in place of oil or butter, makes it taste great! My mom (who worked in a Chinese bakery for years) always warned me not to eat too much dim sum or pastries since lard is heavily used in those.
