Even as I was dining at Myers+Chang during the August Mystery Meet, I was already planning my return. When, a few days later, a friend called and wanted to do lunch stipulating that it would be my choice, I had already chosen. Would my impressions of the restaurant from my first visit be borne out, or in the light of day, be found wanting? 
In the light of day, I was much better able to appreciate the decor of the restaurant with its funky hip diner vibe. My friend was taken with the retro white plastic upholstered chairs, while I had my eye on the pink molded plastic stools at the food bar. Also, the charming tchotchkes, like the large golden Lucky Cat, were more apparent. As on my first time there, the service was friendly, in a very genuine way. And the food? We chose four dishes. All were excellent but two were treasures. The first to arrive was the Pork Belly Buns. I had expected a filled bun but this was actually a sandwich. Tender steamed dough was wrapped around luscious, melting pork belly, finished with some greens, pickles and hoisin sauce. And the second treaure was the Dan Dan Noodles – soft noodles dressed with a peanut and chili sambal sauce, served on a salad of romaine, cucumbers, celery and cilantro leaves. Both dishes were outstanding and my initial impression of Myers+Chang was not only verified but strengthened. As I finished my glass of “Dreamy Clouds”, I wondered, what other treasures will I discover here?
