New York | First dish of crab sauce in autumnđŚ
The autumn wind is picking up, and that can only mean one thingâitâs prime crab-eating season! đŚ If youâre obsessed with Korean food, do yourself a favor and make the trip to Flushingâs Ktown. Trust me, itâs a total hidden gem thatâs way too good to miss! Getting there is easier than you think: from Midtownâs Pennsylvania Station, just hop on the LIRR, and in 25 minutes, youâll be stepping off into a whole world of deliciousness. Compared to Manhattanâs Ktown, the menu here feels endlessâso many more classic and homey dishesâand the prices? Chefâs kiss. Affordable enough to order a spread without stressing, and every bite tastes like itâs made with care đ đŚď¸ Marinated Crab (Gejang) This was the absolute star of the mealâwe practically fought over the last bite! The crab shells are stuffed to the brim with sweet crab roe and tender meat, then they pile a scoop of fluffy rice on top, and douse it all in that iconic salty-spicy sauce. When you dig in, the rice soaks up all the sauce, the crab meat melts in your mouth, and the roe adds this rich, creamy kick. One bite, and I was in heavenâso satisfying, I kept going back for more even when I was full! Korean BBQ Their grilling game is solid too. We got pork belly, and it came out perfectly: crispy, slightly charred edges, and that melt-in-your-mouth fat that makes pork belly so addictive. They serve it with a mountain of fresh kimchi, crunchy bean sprouts, and lettuce wrapsâwrap a piece of pork with all the fixings, and itâs so flavorful, you donât even notice the grease. Total comfort food at its best! We also tried the tofu soup, but honestly, it was just okayânothing to write home about. My heart still belongs to Cho Dang Golâs tofu soup; theirs has this depth of flavor with the perfect amount of spice thatâs hard to beat! All in all, this spotâs a winnerâgreat food, cozy vibes, and that authentic Korean home-cooking feel. If youâre craving crab or just want to explore beyond Manhattanâs dining scene, this is the place to be. đ Myung San 162-21 Depot Rd, Queens, NY 11358 #LocalFaves #NewYorkFoodie #NewYorkFood #NewYorkKoreanFood #NewYorkLife #FlushingFood #FlushingNY
