    Cashew chicken Springfield style history and recipe

    Found this will trying to remember the name of the cashew chicken place that was on a downtown street named Stlouis street back in the early 70s. I believe it was named House of Cheong. One of the family members of David Leong. If this interests you there is a recipe at the end. Thanks to John T. Edge for this finely written article. Enjoy.

    Thanks Larry, Ive never read this article. As you know, Im a huge fan of Leong's cashew chicken. I think my parents may have stopped off for cashew chicken after my birth at St. John's Hospital...

    When you move away from that area, its amazing how much you miss such things as cashew chicken and cherry mash...just cant get that stuff on the east coast!

    I graduated from KHS with a Leong I believe it was Ling.
    We ate at Mr Yens the other night. All white meat chicken. Sweet and sour, General, Sesame and of course Cashew. A shame you can't make the spring rally at TR. I think we couldn't get you out of the cashew joints.

    We get back every year. Family lives in Rogersville and daughter #3 is a teacher in Purdy (SMS Grad). We just never seem to know exactly when...

    I know Dr. Wing Leong, USN quite well.

    Wife and I are Parkview Vikings. She grad in 79 as I was moving to SC.
