Zen Mei Bistro in LA Chinatown

Once upon a time, in the early 90's, I was conducting a workshop in Chinatown with the flu or a very bad cold. Afterwards, a community member, Sue Ellen Chan, recommended that I go to the Chinese Porridge shop and order the one with peanuts. I dragged over and found myself at Zen Mei Bistro, 800 Yale Street, LA CA 90012. I ordered what she said and for half an hour, I swam through this really hot bowl of porridge, perspiring, catching my breath periodically, like a sweat lodge, spiritual culinary stopping of time kind of meal. Slept well that night and woke up cured. This bowl of magic is the "bomb".
