Because we were hungry again 24 hours later, the same lunch crew as before (me, @Saregama, @DaveCook @Dean) went out to the New York Food Court in Flushing. I had never been there, because Flushing, and I was amazed by the expanse of stalls and how good the food was. First up, razor clams, much smaller than the kind I’m used to, with mushrooms and cabbage and all manner of other things.
Next, what I suspected would be my favorite (and it was), snail noodle soup. The snails are implied. The noodles are beyond fantastic - seemingly a yard long, making splitting this dish among five people a challenge. Nice and spicy, with (maybe?) fried wonton wrappers, bamboo shoots and greens.
This seafood mala bowl with cellophane noodles was very good, but also something I can get closer to home. And very much ready for its closeup.
I was in the minority in not being that enamored of these crab and crab roe buns. I found the filling a little muddy-tasting and the wrapper too doughy (which it’s supposed to be, obviously, I’m just not a huge fan). Everybody else seemed to love them.
I ordered these tiger skin eggs because I didn’t know what the hell they were. Hard boiled marinated eggs. Very hard boiled. I liked these a lot, but I ordered too many, not knowing that two of us were nutjobs who don’t eat eggs 
.
And liang pi, another favorite of mine. But also something I can get closer to home.
I am missing a couple of pix, and hopefully someone else can post them: the eggs and buns cut open, and a plate of lion’s head meatballs that I missed because I was wandering around.
Whew! I’m eating way too much these days.
