New York Food Exploration 🍔✨
Farmhouse Bowl of Fragrance 🫑 $23 When I ordered, I specifically requested “bell peppers cooked a bit more, eggs pan-fried not deep-fried,” and the kitchen clearly adjusted the heat accordingly. The edges of the pan-fried eggs are golden, with slightly bubbly, crispy edges that absorb the soup but remain dry and non-greasy. 🎢🍃 The pork belly has a perfect fat-to-lean ratio, with the initial melt-in-your-mouth richness followed by the firm, meaty texture of the lean parts. The starch sausage is a hidden highlight, savory and light, the essence of a quick stir-fry. All the ingredients are quickly stir-fried in hot oil, combining the sauce and the wok’s caramelized aroma, each bite carrying the wok’s essence, becoming more flavorful with every chew. This unassuming home-cooked stir-fry becomes the reason for the rice to disappear. 🍲 🎢🍃 Triple Delights Stir-Fry 🔥 $21 This dish includes liver, kidney, and tripe, which can easily become gamey if not handled properly. This place does it cleanly and efficiently, with a quick stir-fry that keeps the ingredients tender. The fragrant and spicy flavors are direct and to the point, showcasing the charm of a one-pot dish cooked quickly over high heat. 🎢🍃 When reheated at home, the rich sauce seeps deeper into the ingredients, enhancing the flavor, making it even more delicious—a perfect leftover dish for Chinese taste buds. 🍖 #NewYork 🌆✨
