Puerto Ricans who now live in Texas say eating at Michy's Chino Boricua transports them back to the island. The restaurant serves Chinese food the way its traditionally made in the U.S. territory.

"I'm from Puerto Rico, I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I drive here every two weeks. It takes me about four hours to get here and four hours to get back," One loyal customer said. "This place is unique, it's the only one in Texas."

Owner Michelle Lao was born in Panama and lived in China before her family moved to Puerto Rico when she was a toddler. She opened Michy's in May 2021 and uses her family recipes, which integrate flavors from the island.

"They miss home, they miss what they were able to get from the island and I think we are able to serve that community, and fill in that gap," Lao said. "They are able to get a little piece of home here in Houston."

Michy's is located at 2424 Greenhouse Rd, Suite 180. You can view the menu here .

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Grandma’s Potato Soup Never Needed Twenty Ingredients

Modern potato soup recipes often arrive loaded with cheese, bacon, cream cheese, toppings, and a shopping list long enough to make a simple supper feel expensive. Grandma’s five-ingredient version takes the opposite approach. Potatoes provide the body, a few basic ingredients build the broth, and gentle cooking turns everything into a warm, comforting bowl without unnecessary additions. The simplicity allows the potato flavor to remain clear while creating the kind of creamy texture people expect from old-fashioned soup. It is especially useful when the refrigerator looks bare, the pantry is uncooperative, and dinner still needs to happen. A short ingredient list also means fewer measurements, less preparation, and an affordable pot large enough to serve several people. This soup does not attempt to compete with restaurant menus. It offers something more dependable: familiar warmth made from ingredients ordinary kitchens are likely to have.
