China Cafe | Miami’s Hidden Northeastern BBQ Gem 🍢🔥
📍 Why It’s a Must? Authentic Northeastern Chinese flavors (think cumin-spiced skewers + crispy sweet-and-sour pork) in a no-frills spot—worth the 45-minute drive from downtown Miami. 🍢 Must-Order Skewers (Ranked!) 1️⃣ Pork Ear + Beef Tongue 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (💰 $12) Texture: Cold-cut style (chewy ear + buttery-soft tongue). Dip: Spicy sesame oil (adds a kick). 2️⃣ Lamb + Beef Skewers 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (💰 $3.50 each) Fat Ratio: 30% fat (perfectly charred edges). Spice Level: Ask for extra chili powder 3️⃣ Grilled Eggplant 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (💰 $8) Sauce: Garlic + sweet soy glaze (order two—portions are small). 4️⃣ Sweet & Crispy Pork (Guo Bao Rou) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (💰 $18) The Twist: Thinner batter than American-Chinese versions (extra crunchy). 5️⃣ Candied Sweet Potato (Ba Si Di Gua) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (💰 $10) Pro Tip: Dip in ice water for glass-like sugar threads. 🚫 Skip Unless… ❌ Spicy Hot Pot (Ma La Tang): $15 for cabbage soup (not worth it). ❌ Grilled Bread (Kao Mantou): Dry + no condensed milk dip. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Timing: 6 PM = best selection (scallops sell out fast). ✔ Order Ahead: Call for braised pork bones (Jiang Da Gu) + grilled squid. ✔ Drive: Take I-95 N to West Palm Beach (~45 mins from Miami). #NortheasternBBQ #SkewerHeaven #WorthTheDrive
