🔥 LIC’s New Hunan Favorite

This Stir-Fried Yellow Beef Broke My Defense Hunan Tapas, located in LIC, is actually a rebranding of the former Shuxiang Mendeleev. The decor instantly transports you back to China with red lanterns and bamboo chairs, creating a vibrant and authentic atmosphere! After dining here, all I can say is — the value for money in New York’s Chinese food scene is really impressive. 🍳 Salted Egg Yolk Golden Sand Tofu The salted egg yolk is so abundant it sticks to your mouth! The sandy texture wraps around the tender tofu, making it a perfect rice companion. 🥢 🥩 Stir-Fried Yellow Beef Is cilantro free or something?? It’s spicy enough to make you gasp but you just can’t stop eating! 🍖 🐔 Western Hunan Stir-Fried Chicken The chicken skin is crispy and the meat is bouncy, with a strong wok hei. 🍗 🍤 Shrimp Fried Rice Each shrimp is chewy and the rice is perfectly cooked, with every grain distinct. 🍤 Five dishes + one appetizer + three drinks = only $130 after tax. This is truly a LIC worker’s cafeteria! The only thing is, the oil content is very Hunan-style... 📍 Hunan Tapas 💰 Average $40 per person #LICFood #NewYorkHunan Cuisine
