If you love rich, comforting Chinese food, you need to see what I ordered. LaMom Kitchen serves authentic Szechuan and Shanghainese dishes. I loved La Mom’s red-braised pork—it was tender and flavorful—and the walnut shrimp had the perfect crispy, creamy sweetness. The generous portions were perfect for sharing. So save La Mom Kitchen for your next food stop.

What I got…
Walnut shrimp
La mom red braised pork
Jin Cheng grilled pork ribs
String beans
Cauliflower
Wonton in chili oil
Xiao long bao
Beef fried rice
Brown sugar rice cake
Shanghai glutinous balls

There are moments in this exhibition that I’m still thinking about. If you are interested in visiting Anne Frank The Exhibition at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, here’s my code JNEWBERRIES50 which gives 50% off Anne Frank The Exhibition tickets

Some notable details about the Anne Frank The Exhibition…

Anne Frank The Exhibition is a first-of-its-kind, full-scale recreation of the rooms where Anne Frank, her family, and four others spent two years hiding to evade N**i capture.

Griffin MSI is the first major museum, and Chicago only the second city in the U.S., to present this experience, alongside previously unseen artifacts from Anne Frank’s life.

The exhibition immerses visitors in the historical context that shaped Anne’s life, from her early years in Frankfurt through the rise of the N**i regime, tracing her family’s move to Amsterdam, where she lived until 1944

Visitors can explore more than 130 original collection items from the Anne Frank House, including many artifacts never before displayed publicly.
