New York Food Exploration ๐ | Pye Boat Noodle
A hidden Thai gem in Astoria. "Pye" means paddle, and their signature dish is boat noodle, a soup noodle dish originally sold from boats. This gives a glimpse into the bustling water markets of the "Venice of the East" back in the day. ๐ถ Boat Noodle with Pork The dark broth has a unique flavor, said to include pig's blood, which might take some getting used to. But the toppings are generousโfried pork rinds, slices of pork, and pork meatballs. I chose wide noodles, though the traditional boat noodle uses thin rice noodles. ๐ Duck Curry ๐ Mildly spicy and sweet, with a rich coconut milk aroma. The duck meat is tender, and seeing grapes in the curry was quite a surpriseโvery unique! ๐ Pad Thai My friend ordered this, and it looked pretty good too! ๐ณ #NewYorkFoodie #NYCThailand #BoatNoodle ๐บ
