Zhen Wei Guan storefront entrance in Millbrae

Peking duck: Beijing's showpiece: a whole duck air-dried and roasted until the skin is glass-crisp, carved at the table and wrapped in thin pancakes with scallion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce. Usually ordered ahead and priced whole or half. Cantonese roast duck is a different, marinated bird served chopped over rice. On this menu as: Roast Duck · Peking Duck.
Xiao long bao: Shanghai-style "soup dumplings": a thin pleated wrapper around seasoned pork and a cube of gelatinized stock that melts into hot broth as it steams. Eat them from a spoon: bite a corner, sip the soup, then finish the dumpling with a little black vinegar and ginger. On this menu as: Handmade Xiaolongbao.
Chow fun: Wide, flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat with beef, bean sprouts and scallions. "Dry-fried" beef chow fun is the Cantonese benchmark of wok hei, the smoky, charred flavor only a screaming-hot wok produces. On this menu as: Beef Chow Fun.
Fried rice: Day-old rice stir-fried with egg, scallion and whatever the kitchen adds. Yangzhou (Yang Chow) style means shrimp, char siu and peas, and is the version most menus mean by "house special". Good fried rice is dry and separate-grained, never wet. On this menu as: Yangzhou Fried Rice.
Mapo tofu: Soft tofu in a glossy red sauce of fermented broad-bean paste (doubanjiang), chili and ground Sichuan peppercorn, traditionally with a little minced beef or pork. The name honors the pockmarked (ma) old woman (po) said to have invented it in Chengdu; a vegetarian version is common. On this menu as: Mapo Tofu.
Char siu: Cantonese barbecued pork: strips of shoulder or belly marinated in hoisin, soy, rice wine and five-spice, glazed with honey or maltose and roasted until the edges char and lacquer red. Sliced over rice or noodles, folded into buns, or hung in the window of a siu mei shop with roast goose and soy sauce chicken. On this menu as: Crispy Roast Pork Belly.
