In New York, we have a Chinatown in Manhattan…and then we have the real Chinatown, out in the borough of Queens, in a neighborhood called Flushing. Some friends and I decided to get gluttonous this past weekend and eat our way across it; we took a little inspiration from an itinerary put together by Jessica at Food Mayhem…
Lanzhou Noodles: Oxtail Noodle Soup
Noodles being pulled by hand
Always an elegant eater
Xi'an Famous Foods: Liang Pi Cold Noodles
Xi'an Famous Foods: Cumin Lamb Burger
Delicious Duck Buns for $1
We braved cold and rain for those duck buns
Steamed Pork Buns
Soup Dumpling Capital of NYC
Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao: Chive Dumplings
Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) Stuffed with Broth and Pork
Nan Xiang: Scallion Pancake with Beef
Fay Da Bakery: Taro Bun for Dessert
Tai Pan Bakery: Tiramisu
I am so jealous! That looks amazingly good. Pork buns here, taro buns here, scallion pancake here. So So good. Wish this LA boy was in NYC right now 🙂
I’ll take the lamb burger and the dumplings!! Please!! Oh it’s been so long since I last had some good Chinese food… I need to change that asap!
i LOVE dumplings. all dumplings. ever. yum!
Love the pics and the vids. Really makes me miss flushing food.
Hi Celia, wow looks delicious! It’s very authentic. $1 for duck buns! I can’t believe it. I want to ear pork buns and Xiao Long Bao! Thanks for sharing your food journey! It’s fun to watch!
I’m so jealous – I’ve been wanting to go to Xi’an Famous Foods for a while but haven’t gotten around to it. And the taro bun looks great too!
ahh makes me sad i couldn’t join you… those scallion pancakes w/ beef are one of my faves along w/ the xiao long baos… i’ve burned my mouth many times w/ that soup inside but it’s so good! =P
okaaaaay, I’m now pissed at myself for not going to Flushing when I was in NYC last month. I went there for German food…totally missed the Chinatown. MAN, those pork buns look good.
Everything looks delicious. I wouldn’t know where to start if I went there. I’ll probably go for the duck buns and the scallion pancake with beef.
I looooove watching hand pulled noodles being made…then eating them!
Celia, you should run foodie tours! This looks like a treat for the tastebuds. Next time I’m in NY I’m going to attempt this trail.
i went on that crawl with Jess, but i’ve been dying to go back again lately… love it in Flushing
