Soy Sauce Chicken, Barbecue Ribs and Roast Pork (Three choices of meat) @ Corner 28 [Moved]

Our friend back home came to NYC for business and paid us a short visit over the weekend. As an excellent host, we brought him to one of our favorite Chinese restaurant, Corner 28, for dinner. Being hospitable, we ordered so much food that the round table which was supposedly for six persons were full of food. We decided to order something different and so, we ordered the three choices of meat, vegetables with oyster sauce, silver anchovies with preserved turnip omelet, lamb chops and fried rice.

Three choices of meat such as soy sauce chicken, barbecue ribs and roast pork originate from the region around Canton in Southern China’s Guangdong province. Similarly, it is also the origin of Hong Kong and Macau cuisine.

Price: Value for money. It is worth spending that amount to eat such good food.

Quality: Excellent quality. We love the soft and juicy soy sauce chicken. The barbecue ribs charred at the corner made the ribs even more delicious. You can actually savor the taste of the marinating. Not forgeting the roast pork, the pork skin was so crispy that you may mistake it for crackers. The meat too was juicy and delicious. I endorse the three choices of meat. Must try!! I will not hesitate to come back to savor them again.

Store layout: The restaurant at the second level has a more zen look.

"Look at the number of dishes for three persons. We had two more dishes on the way."

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...

Iced Milk Tea @ AA Plaza [Closed]

I have been observing that people love to drink iced milk tea during summer. Though I am not an avid fan for milk tea, I want to try and understand why they love it. Once I tried the Iced Milk Tea from AA Plaza , I finally understood. The rich cream and the tea fragrance could be extremely addictive. Price : Cheap! $1.25 for an iced milk tea. A good thirst-quencher. Quality : The milk tea was neither too sweet nor too thick. AA Plaza used evaporated milk instead of the sweetened condensed milk, just the way I would like it. It tasted so much like ‘Teh C’ aka tea with evaporated milk back home. Even though it was addictive, I still prefer green tea to milk tea. Store layout : A simple takeout stall beneath the Flushing LIRR station. The staff were quite friendly. The only problem was the queue. People would jump in the queue if you were not aggressive enough. Otherwise, you could have your orders taken within minutes. Where : AA Plaza, 40-40 Main Str...
