NYC Sichuan Pepper Cod—So Good I Don’t Mind the Garlic Breath! 🌶️
Happy belated Halloween, friends! 🎃 Tried a new Asian fusion spot after work this week—vibe is super unique, like dining in a cave or rocky grotto. Soft music, intimate lighting—great for dates. 👉🏻 Wasabi Mayo Shrimp Tart – My pick! Lightly seasoned shrimp in a crispy spring roll wrapper, topped with wasabi mayo—so good! 👉🏻 Cheese Sausage Bites – Five fried cheese-and-sausage balls. Cheesy, creamy, with Sichuan-style sausage inside. Paired with savory mayo—unexpected but tasty. 👉🏻 Sichuan Pepper Cod – My pick! Firm, flaky cod in a garlic-scallion sauce—so flavorful. A bit salty if you go heavy on the sauce (and the garlic… I learned my lesson 😅). 👉🏻 Beef Medallions with Mushroom Cream – My pick! Tender beef cubes with a hint of wine, paired with large, crisp mushrooms in a creamy sauce—rich but not heavy. 👉🏻 Spicy Bacon Pasta – Creamy bacon pasta with a spicy kick. Bacon is pan-fried till savory, balancing the creaminess. 👉🏻 Fried Waffle Fries – Sweet potato waffle fries! Huge portion, crispy, served with ketchup—devoured them all. 🪨 At Cave 📍 103 E 2nd St, New York, NY 💰 ~$50/person 💜 Check out this blogger—worth a follow (collections are sorted) #NYC #NYCLife #NYU #NYCFood #NYCShopping #Plog #NYCStudent #SVA #NYCWeekend #EatNYC #NYCExploration #NYCFoodGuide #NYCLiving #JerseyCity #Manhattan #Flushing #Brooklyn #NYCCheckIn #Manhattan #Newport #NYCChineseFood #DatingSpot #BarVibes #EastVillage #NYCEats #FoodieFinds
