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
