Portland food news and views
Eastern Cathay, a Chinese restaurant that operated for around 15 years on NE 82nd Avenue across from the MAX station, is no more. This is now the location for Taste of Szechuan (not to be confused with Taste of Sichuan), and offers a new menu with things like pork wontons with chili oil, smacked cucumber salad, Westlake beef soup, cumin lamb, some offal dishes, and more.

After many months of being closed due to a fire, beloved Beaverton Chinese restaurant Taste of Sichuan will finally re-open this year. It has been a painstaking process to get to the point where they can open their doors, but when they do, it’s going to be a cause for celebration.

Also in that post was something that majorly caught my eye: A new restaurant specializing in steam rice rolls has opened in Portland. It is called Steam Rice Roll King and is in the old Wadee space (next door to Lux Coffee Lounge) on SE Division.

What’s in it: Whole leaf romaine, parmigiano-reggiano, house-made croutons, with house Caesar dressing.
A classic done right, I highly recommend trying Apizza Scholls’ version, which pairs beautifully with any one of their pizza pies. Try it with a meaty sensation such as Apizza Amore or their version of the Amatriciana. The salad dressing is creamy and rich, and a little goes a long way. For those who aren’t anchovy fans, you can ask for them on the side or to simply omit them. –JR
