First Meal After the Temperature Drop: LIC Bullfrog Fish Head ๐ก๏ธ๐
Hunan Tapas is always full of surprises! I just found out it also goes by the name Shuxiang Xiaoguan (your place has so many names!), and they've just launched a new dish โ roasted fish! ๐ Xiao Xiang Tiao Tiao Bullfrog Fish Head๐ The fish head has plenty of meat, and the bullfrog portion is also generous. The scallion, garlic, and chili oil make everything smell so fragrant, especially the crispy lotus root slices! The steaming hot dish is super appetizing. If you want to dig into more fish meat, you can also order the whole roasted fish. You can choose mild spice, so there's no pressure at all! ๐ถ๏ธ Stir-fried Beauty's Pig's Feet๐ The pig's feet here have more skin than meat, which is chewy, tender, and cut into big chunks. The seasoning is savory with a hint of sweetness, making it a perfect rice companion! ๐ฝ๏ธ Hunan Spicy Chicken๐ถ๏ธ The portion is super generous! The skin is of just the right thickness, and the chicken is very soft and tender. I ordered it with less spice, so the sweet flavor is more noticeable, giving it a very addictive barbecue snack taste! I love it! ๐ Emerald Garlic Snow Peas๐ฅฌ The glossy stir-fried dish perfectly balances the spicy and hot flavors on the table. It's great for a refreshing palate cleanser. The garlic flavor is not too strong. I feel like the stems of the snow peas have been a bit tough lately. ๐ฅฌ I didn't see the Hunan-style marinated seafood I had last time, but I can come back for roasted fish in the fall! ๐ ๐Hunan Tapas #NewYorkRestaurantExploration #NYCEatingDrinkingFun ๐๐
