Baltimore Yat Gaw Mein

A Baltimore Fav pronounced Yak Gow Mane. 
I find that different regions do this cheap Chinese dish differently. 
West Baltimore makes a sweet version, East Baltimore salty, and Philly's version is covered in gravy and not ketchup. 

I am partial to Baltimore West Side Version from  Loon Yee Carry Out in Edmondson Village , and I haven't had it in FOREVER.

I went home to Baldimore and picked up some Yat Gaw Mein for my homie Tillery+ I.
You can't get Yat like this in Philly anywhere! 

Thick Noodles + Beef Covered in Soy Sauce Onions Hard Boiled Egg + Sweet Ketchup! 



A take out classic with a classic grape soda

Granted you'll have the worst breathe ever after this meal, but hey it happens ever now and then.

  1. Ketchup? Now that sounds Asian...

    This is the real deal.

      That looks delicious... But if someone gave me that and told me it was yak gaw mein. I would have been pissed! I'd still have ate it because like I said it looks delicious. But I would have been pissed I didn't get my yak...

  5. Jimmy's on Milton & Hoffman has the best Yak,anywhere in Baltimore, east or west, then Yuens follows them up. Jimmy's is the best Chinese Carryout period. There, everything is good.
