We literally saw it on every single other table, and people enjoying them heartily. Every single table that night ordered this dish. The next dish was chosen by the Beer Boor – salt/pepper pork chops.Īnd one of the dishes that kept popping up every time I did a very cursory search on this place (read: I did not really research): Cantonese style ‘dry’ crabs. Cooked crisp, bright green… but still only so-so. Some random green veggies to give the illusion of health… these were probably the only dish that was exactly as we expected when we ordered it. Then the excess of sauce got the best of the noodles and they turned very soggy. But the sauce was about what I’d wanted, a little on the sweet side with a bit too much corn starch (and therefore gloppy), and the noodles were crisp… at first. Noodles with their length represent longevity… never cut noodles! (Or break spaghetti, I will yell at you.) In any case, these were not quite the noodles I thought I’d ordered – I thought I ordered Cantonese lo mein, the thin egg noodles that are pan fried until crisp, then topped with gravy. My second request for Lunar New Year was noodles. I mean, the dumplings weren’t inedible, but they were fairly boring, flavorless, and oddly textured. I don’t know.ĭepending who you asked, it marginally improved the fried dumplings.
Some gloppy sweet, weird, ketchup-y BBQ sauce type thing.
This arrived when we ordered fried dumplings, accompanied by: My Lunar New Year demands are simple: first, dumplings. This is about the only time of year I ever really pay attention to the Asian portion of my culture maybe because it’s so food-centric it’s hard to not want to be part of the fun! A few friends and I decided to meet up and attempt to celebrate what we knew… Unfortunately, I randomly Google’d “Cantonese restaurant Chinatown” instead of forcing them to travel to Queens to Cantonese restaurants I know are great. Another Lunar New Year has passed, which means it’s time for me to start writing my Lunar New Year posts… Well, first up is the night before Lunar New Year.
