Going to HMart in North Jersey to buy some stuff for work Thanksgiving meal. Going to make galbijim ala Sun Nong Dan, quick kimchi cucumbers (sorry don’t know the term off the top for “quick” kimchi), and some koshihikari rice.
Any recs for Korean in North Jersey (suppose to be better food than Manhattan K-Town and Flushing/Bayside).
Or I just might take the ferry across to the city for a quick lunch. Would rather stay in Manhattan I know much more options in Brooklyn/Queens I wanna save some time. Any ideas or recs? Who am I kidding it’s most likely going to be somewhere in East Village/LES/Chinatown/Village.
Is palisades park considered north jersey? Halmae noodle has excellent kalguksu (knife cut noodles). The standard #12 halmae kalguksu is SO good. Sa rit gol in fort lee is also excellent, their gamjatang is super yummy.
I am early I guess I’ll go to @Armillaria suggestion of Tomoko. Btw have you been to Patisserie Chantilly in Lomita? It’s a Japanese bakery and the black sesame cream puff is heavenly @Armillaria
Char Siu McRib. I love McRibs as a kid and I love char siu so it makes sense that I would love this dish. The rib had no char siu flavor at all. I like the Chinese hot mustard addition. Huge let down.
Spectacular. Most of this from Chinatown vendors. That pink dragonfruit
I know this place has gotten a lot of coverage. I am always down to support new school Canto. We need more restaurants like this than corporate Sichuan chains from the mainland. This was average for me as far as food. Service was great.
I was really hyping up that McRib in my head. Sergio was not in the house.
Plain bagel with plain cream cheese with regular coffee.
Bagel heaven, anything and everything you can imagine. Bagels, cream cheeses,and bagel sandwiches. May not be worth it coming out of your way from Manhattan. If around Central Park/museums just go to Absolute Bagels. Hop on the 1 Train from Columbus Circle or Natural History stations.
Shepherd’s purse stir fry rice cakes. Also well done!
It’s nice to hear the Shanghainese dialect in this restaurant. My family has Shanghainese, Cantonese, and Northern roots via Taiwan. That’s a lot of different dialects I am just trying to get fluent in Mandarin with Taiwanese accent.
Kinda Seinfeld Soup Nazish in a way. If you see no slices don’t come in. You can only order if you see slices. If ordering whole then that’s fine. After ordering you still gotta wait. They don’t just hand you the slices after you pay.
My favorite was both the Upside Down and Spicy. With the Upside Down you really taste the sweetness from the plum tomatoes. I like hot honey on pizza lol. The crust is great. They have round pies but are known for their squares. Some of the best squares I’ve had!
for one is spotted on! Mackerels look amazing.
