bisebelebath is good stuff - have you tried it there yet?
I think it includes cream cheese in the batter (like japanese cheesecake).
Or just visit, like we do?
Not yet. I usually make it when I have leftover sambhar from something else.
Dosa Hutt comfort classics — idli, vada, rava dosa. The dosa was perfectly crisp and delicious, though somehow not lacy today. Sambhar on point. Chutney actually had coconut (unlike the temple canteen of late).

I’ve been visiting for like 25 years now, but would love more action!
It’s almost too much action 
An article about the Tangram Mall, where a bunch of us went in March after the New York Food Court.

@DaveCook was good enough to recommend dishes at Taiwanese gourmet in elmhurst. this ooey gooey oyster pancake was delicious as was the three cup chicken. I do prefer 3cc prepared with more Thai basil, still, this prep was deeply satisfying.
I noticed a lot of tables eating fried (stinky?) tofu and Chinese chives with pork (I think)
Thought this was interesting:

Anyone try a Korean restaurant called Chung Moo in downtown flushing? My kind of menu:

I had a nice chilled mul nang-myun at Chung Moo several summers ago, and a generously stuffed omelette rice several Septembers before that.
Thanks Dave, yup, that omelette caught my eye as did some of the other comfort food. The blood sausage photo from the menu looks incredible! Actually, I’m hard pressed to find anything on menu I wouldn’t like to eat.
I loved kisa but to my eye, kisa is a faux-taxicab joint while cm looks to be the real thing.
Best,
all those kimchi soups, not to mention stuff like rice cakes appealed greatly, including all the super starchy stuff I am trying hard to avoid right now! Looks like it would be a fun lunch destination.

Lox with honey mustard and toasted almonds, one of several varieties; fried gefilte fish awaiting mushroom sauce; and a spicy Moroccan-style fish stew from Yitzchok’s Herring, 7214 Main St., Kew Gardens Hills, Queens (all of these graciously comped). I nibbled at the first two items incessantly, but the Moroccan fish I devoured in one go.

this looks good - is there a particular Jewish cuisine represented or is it entirely eclectic?
It was interesting to find out that herring was a common food in some mediterranean cuisines, including egypt.
I have not a clue.
