NYC｜Cozy Curry Oxtail in a Pumpkin Bowl! 🎃🍛

Tried the dinner menu at Royal Seafood—a longtime Chinatown favorite known for weekend dim sum. Every dish impressed! 🍗 Steamed Chicken (Guifei Ji) Tender, flavorful white-cut chicken with a light salt-baked taste and garlic-scallion oil—one of the best I’ve had recently! 🦆 Taro & Plum Duck Bubbling hot and aromatic—perfectly balanced sweet-sour sauce without overpowering the duck. 🪷 Steamed Pork Balls in Lotus Leaf Classic Cantonese—juicy with crunchy water chestnuts, great with rice! 🦀 Crab Roe Vermicelli Pot Wok-hei goodness! Loaded with crab roe and vermicelli—huge portion, barely made a dent even with four people. 🎃 Curry Oxtail in Pumpkin Bowl The star! 🏆 Tender, gelatinous oxtail in rich curry, served inside a soft pumpkin with potatoes and veggies. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for sharing—felt like a festive family meal! They even gifted us golden cake (a sweet Southern treat!) 🍰 Ended with red bean soup and fresh fruit. Total for four? Just over $100—left with tons of leftovers! A genuine, decades-old Cantonese gem with nostalgic décor and consistent quality. ❤️ 📍 Royal Seafood #NYCCantonese #ChinatownEats #ComfortFood #NYCFoodie #FamilyStyle #PumpkinDish #CurryLover #NYCRestaurants #HiddenGem #CantoneseFood
