Singapore-style vermicelli with Fried Drumsticks @ AA Plaza [Closed]

Today I decided to try the Singapore-style Vermicelli for a change. The vermicelli with carrot and cabbage strips is cooked with soy sauce. In Singapore, it is known as ‘economical noodle’ where customers can order either vermicelli or flat noodles as the main and side dishes such as drumsticks, fish balls, spring roll. It is not uncommon to see it everywhere in Singapore and is mainly consumed during breakfast time. The turnover is high and customers come and go. I was not aggressive enough and someone else who came later than me was served first. Well, I finally got my Singapore-style vermicelli with Fried Drumsticks and head home to prepare for dinner.

Price: Very affordable. Total price = $2.50 enough for two persons.

Quality: I cannot say much about the vermicelli. Its taste was about average. However, the drumstick is delicious. The huge portion of the vermicelli is most suitable to be shared with another person. As for the drumsticks, you better buy more!

Store layout: A simple takeout stall outside Flushing LIRR station. The staff are quite friendly. The only problem is the queue. People will jump in the queue if you are not aggressive enough. Otherwise, you can get it done within minutes.

"This is where you find cheap food."

"This portion of vermicelli can be shared by two persons, priced at $1.25. It is cheap or what?!"

"The drumsticks are very well marinated. I love to buy the drumsticks from them at $1.25 for two"

Where: AA Plaza, 40-40 Main Street (beside West-bound LIRR station)

Three-Cup Chicken (三杯鸡) @ No. 1 East Restaurant

Originated from Jiangxi province of Southern China, the three-cup chicken (三杯鸡) is a popular in Taiwan. The three-cup chicken uses three cups of different sauces to cook the chicken. There are two versions to the origins of three-cup chicken. One, a sympathetic prison warden who cooked a dish with limited resources available before the execution of a national hero from the Song dynasty, Wen Tianxiang. Second, it involves a cook due to the lack of time used three cups of sauces and simmered it for a long time. At No. 1 East Restaurant, We chose a combo meal for two that comprised stir-fry Lobster with Garlic , three-cup chicken , hot and sour soup , and Mapo Tofu . Quality : The three-cup chicken (三杯鸡) was delicious. The chicken was fresh and the sauce was fragrant. The rice tasted more fragrant if you were to add the sauce to it. Store layout : The restaurant was located along Main Street right after the Flushing Public Library. It is a simple restaurant with atten...

Deep Fried Spicy Chicken Strips @ Sago Café [Closed]

Bubble tea is not uncommon at Flushing, Queens. Bakeries, restaurants, cafes and even small food joints alike were selling bubble tea. Bubble tea is originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. I decided to try out one of the bubble tea joints – Sago Tea Café in the neighbourhood. Other than serving iced beverages, Sago Café also served food and snacks. Price : Reasonably affordable. Quality : The spicy chicken strips with lemon juice were tasty. It was a great snack to share with a group of your friends. Store layout : The store was strategically located diagonally across the Main Street Subway Station. There are two doors in Sago - the first door was the entrance and the other was an order window for takeouts. The cafe was always full of people during hot summers - who either dined in or ordered takeouts. You might have to wait if you craved for a cold drink at Sago Cafe. Though the staff were very efficient, they were also unfriendly and rude. Whe...

Frozen Yogurt @ Red Mango

Another frozen yogurt chain store, Red Mango, opened along Roosevelt Ave at about one minute’s walk from its competitor – Pinkberry . A different concept from Pinkberry, Red Mango has more seats for customers to rest and enjoy the refreshing frozen yogurt. In comparison, Pinkberry , with a narrow stall space, is more suitable for takeaways. Founded in 2002 in South Korea, the giant Frozen Yogurt chain entered the US market in July 2007 and is the first retailer of frozen yogurt to receive the National Yogurt Association’s Live and Active Culture Seal. Yogurt is good for you. Burnt by the blazing sun, my husband and I decided to check out Red Mango outlet along Roosevelt Ave and enjoy the frozen yogurt. Price : We ordered a large cup of Original frozen yogurt with three toppings – grapes, mango and watermelon at around $9.00. The toppings were generous. Quality : The toppings were very fresh. A fussy person when it comes to fruits, I enjoyed every mouthful of frozen yogurt and...
