NYC's Amazing Beer-Braised Duck & Fresh Pepper Fish 🍺🐟
After living in LIC for 5 years, I’m falling more in love with BK! The G train keeps bringing me to amazing, affordable gems—like this incredible Sichuan spot where every dish had my partner and me nodding in delicious agreement! 👌 🦆 Beer-Braised Duck Seeing "beer duck" on the menu felt like finding cash in a pocket! Big, tender chunks of duck, braised until fall-apart tender. The skin is chewy and fragrant, not greasy at all. Simmered in a spicy, savory broth with edamame and scallions—so flavorful over rice! 🌶️🍚 🐟 Fresh Pepper Whole Fish Whole fish joy! The fish is incredibly fresh and tender, steamed with light soy and green Sichuan peppercorns for a gentle numbing spice. Topped with green chili rings for brightness, not heat. The collagen around the belly is sticky, savory, and unforgettable—couldn’t put my chopsticks down! 🐷 Preserved Vegetable Braised Pork Belly Feels like Chinese New Year! Thick slices of pork belly with crispy, porous skin soak up all the flavor. Fatty yet balanced, wrapped in a steamed bun with yacai (preserved veggies)—pure carb-protein fireworks in your mouth! 🎇 🫛 Signature Okra A cold okra dish that’s sweet, spicy, and savory—crisp, refreshing, and totally addictive. Perfect with drinks! 🍸 Jasmine Lychee Cocktail Light, floral jasmine tea paired with lychee—not too sweet, just fragrant and refreshing. Sip slowly, though—it goes down easy! 😉 📍 Shan Chuan After your meal, pop next door to the Asian grocery for fun snacks like new-flavor turtle chips and imported fruits! #NYCSichuan #SichuanFood #BKFood #BeerDuck #WholeFish #ComfortFoodNYC #NYCEats #SpicyEats #HiddenGem #FoodieHeaven
