Brief Flushing visit today.
Picked up char siu, soy sauce chicken, and spicy beef and pork (separate) pancakes.
I was a bit perturbed to see that the pancake (xian bing) stall I like had changed, but the lady who was there was so sweet and solicitous that I bought a few anyway (for some reason she gave me 4 x $4 pancakes for $10 as a “deal”).
Well, these pancakes were as good as the previous ones, so I’m less perturbed now.
Char siu was very good, but having recently eaten it in Hong Kong, the difference I noticed was in the pork itself – more uniformly moist / fatty in HK (while not just being big chunks of fat). Also somehow the flavor seemed to penetrate deeper there. Anyway, that’s a 15 hour plane ride away and this was still tasty, so that’s that.
(Note to @vinouspleasure – in some bizarre twist, the prices at the roast meats place seem to have dropped a couple of bucks.)
Oh, and apparently duck wings (and other parts) are available.
