NYC | Delicious Cuban‑Chinese Fusion 🇨🇺❤️

What a delightful surprise in the Big Apple! After strolling through the Bryant Park holiday market, we wandered into this restaurant with a cleaver on its sign — and discovered a magical Cuban‑Chinese fusion feast. Truly a happy accident! 🍗 Appetizers Build‑a‑Bao (Crispy Duck Leg) — The skin was shatteringly crisp, the meat tender beyond belief. Served with a hoisin‑like sauce touched with herbal notes, all tucked into a fluffy steamed bun — divine! Spicy Crispy Chicken Wings — Tossed in tangy‑spicy mojo sauce, perfectly crispy and generously portioned. 🦞 Mains Lobster Chow Mein — Packed with what felt like a whole lobster’s worth of meat, including a huge claw and sweet tail — all shell‑free joy! Wok‑fried with classic Chinese aromatics and full of wok‑hei. Squid Ink Seafood Rice — Made with soft yet chewy black rice (no undercooked grains here!), loaded with fresh squid, mussels, shrimp, and clams. Rich, briny, and deeply satisfying. 🍮 Desserts Flan — Eggier and denser than typical flan, with a perfectly balanced caramel glaze. A dreamy finish. Tres Leches Cake — Soaked in sweet milky syrup, every bite was a creamy, comforting hug. 🍸 Cocktails Earl Grey Cobbler — Not too sweet, brimming with fragrant tea notes, super refreshing. Butterscotch Espresso Martini — Like a grown‑up, delicious butterbeer with a velvety foam top. 📍 Calle Dao 🗡️ A vibrant, flavor‑packed spot where Cuban warmth meets Chinese wok magic — perfect for a fun, memorable meal in the heart of NYC. #NYCFood #CubanChineseFusion #CalleDaoNYC #BryantParkEats #NYCRestaurants #FusionCuisine #LobsterNoodles #SquidInkRice #CocktailLove #NYCEats #FoodieAdventure #HiddenGemNYC #EatLikeALocal #NYCLife
