It's a hole in the wall, located in San Gabriel in the back of a chinese strip mall. Completely inconspicuous, completely a hidden gem. These chinese pancakes may be a traditional side dish but Michelle's gives it a brand new spin. The traditional pancake is a lot bigger and more doughy but Michelle's pancakes are much more delicate, smaller in size and updated with lots of gourmet flair.
No wonder even local Chinese peeps are hooked! For reference, these pancakes are similar to an empanada. The ingredients are mixed into a patty and stuffed into a thin layer of fresh dough, then pan-fried using little oil and medium heat. The result: a golden brown pancake with all the juices sealed in. One word of caution: Be careful on your 1st bite! The piping hot juices often squirt out soiling you and everyone around you! Also, don't forget to use some of their homemade garlic sauce - it's out of this breath!
