The other time it was a traditional cookie - fantastic. I like to get the halva- it's the best. I forget where they get it from but thru usually have two flavors and they cut it fresh for you. The flavors range from the usual to some really interesting variations. I also love getting salmon trimmings. They have many unusual food items.

I stopped by Biederman's this morning with some friends for a snack. We ordered a 1/4 pound of…read morepastrami lox and 1/4 pound of sable. We got a couple of pickles, some salmon skin chips/crisps, and a few other items. The pastrami lox was amazing - delicious and sliced so thin you can see through it. We ate it and the sable outside on the sidewalk, and it was one of the best snacks I've enjoyed in a while. The half sour pickle didn't seem very sour at all, so I recommend going full sour if you're on the fence. The shop is a delight. They have everything wonderful: bagels (they don't assemble bagel sandwiches, but you can buy bagels, cream cheese, and smoked fish to take home to assemble the bagels yourself), caviar, tinned fish, greeting cards, pins, condiments, refrigerated items (labneh, salads, fresh horseradish). It's basically heaven. I wanted everything. Biederman's falls just short of five stars for me, because the service wasn't that friendly. A few orders were sliced before ours even though we had ordered earlier and hadn't ordered much, we kept thinking ours was next, and we weren't sure what was going on. It took a little bit to get our order, and we felt a bit in the way as we waited for our order in their pretty tiny shop. It just wasn't the most welcoming place on this visit, but I couldn't have loved our cured/smoked fish on the sidewalk snack any more than we did. A real treat. I'll definitely be back (hopefully next time with a cooler to stock up before leaving town). If I lived in Philly, I'd be here constantly.

Hopefully it's good food!? The hostess warned us of 15 minute delay for seatings. No worries. Sat at bar enjoying a beer which was nice. Got to be sat in a room, circular table which was perfect! Then the staff got to work. Took drink orders and food orders. The food was ordered by my daughter so I really don't know what was name of each dish. The Hot and Sour was super. Had a chicken dish like orange chicken that was really good. Something tasted like moshu beef was very tasty. Then they served a spicy chicken that was fantastic! I wish I knew the name!! All in all a good experience.

They had an extensive menu, most of which, I've never tasted. So we requested some egg rolls as an appetizer. I also requested won ton soup. My daughter and I decided to share some Singapore noodles and my son requested orange chicken. My cousin requested beef and tofu and two different kinds of dumplings. The food is served family style and it turned out that we requested too much. However, all the dishes were yummy. Favorites were the spicy dumplings, won ton soup, orange chicken, and beef and tofu. There are so many Asian restaurants in this area that you could never try all of them. Anyway, I'm glad we enjoyed EMei. Recommend.

Here are some if the places I tried: Beiler's Bakery - The cookies were made fresh there and I enjoyed a slice of their red velvet cake. By George Pizza, Pasta & Cheesesteaks - Decent cheesesteaks here, but the bread was a little tough for my liking. I probably wouldn't return here as I had better cheesesteaks elsewhere. Famous 4th Street Cookie Company - This was my favorite bakery I tried. The cookies were a good size, tasty, and the service was great! Termini Brothers Bakery - Tried the pig ear as it was described as puffed pastry with cinnamon and sugar. I wouldn't recommend this at all since it was hard and crumbled easily.

Apparently, we needed a sugar rush! And we got a burst of energy, and it was quite delightful to see the energy at Reading terminal market! As soon as we walked in the door, it was pretty exciting because it was a Philly cheesesteak restaurant, and there were crowds waiting to try their food. We walked past that, and passed the Greek market to the baked goods and soda area that also had wonderful Philly T-shirts and stationary. Great service and no lines there!! I look forward to coming again!!

Grape plums were something new to me, and I became addicted to them rather quickly. They taste just as their name depicts, a hybrid between a black grape and a red plum. The skin is thick and tart, just like a plum, while the inside resembles a black grape in taste while the texture is a bit chewy like the grapes used to make wine. I ate these almost every day while I was in town!

Cute hole in the wall shop! It extends pretty far out so the store at first looks small but it's pretty spacious.
