Why Go to Din Tai Fung When New York Has These Xiao Long Bao? (2)๐
Spicy Wontons ๐ขThese aren't the classic red oil wontons but rather pork wontons with a bit of chili sauce. There's no shrimp inside, and they're pretty average. Not a must-order. Peking Duck ๐ $115 This was a pleasant surprise. The duck meat is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Special mention must be made of their lotus leaf pancakes, which are thin, soft, and chewy. When wrapped with the duck and sauce, it's a perfect bite. Best to reserve in advance, as it might sell out if you arrive late. ๐ Sichuan String Beans ๐ ๐๏ธThe stir-fried green beans with minced meat are well-cooked. The beans are not mushy and have a bit of a crunch. ๐ธA friend who has visited several times mentioned that the steak fried rice here tastes exactly like Din Tai Fung's. I forgot to order it this timeโgive it a try and see if you agree! Pinch Chinese ๐ 177 Prince St, New York, NY 10012 #PekingDuck #RoastDuck #NYCRoastDuck ๐๐
