Dim Sum @ New Pacific Chinese Cuisine Restaurant

Ranked 99 of 366 restaurants at Flushing (2008), Queens in Tripadvisor.com, we decided to try dim sum at New Pacific today. It is quite accessible and easy to locate from Flushing Main Street Subway Station. In Flushing, there are a lot of dim sum restaurants but we decided to try out this restaurant for a start.

Price: Affordable. We ordered five different items and two cans of diet coke on a hot Sunday afternoon. By the time we were done, we were too full to order more. We paid $20 for the whole meal.

Quality: Each item was freshly prepared. The Shumai was fresh and I can taste the succulent prawns. Yummy! The rice noodle roll was superb that I ate two portions of rice noodle rolls. Oops! The chicken steamed buns were equally delicious. All in all, we were grasping numerous ‘WOOs’ and 'AHs' as we took each bite.

Store layout: Like a typical seafood restaurant, New Pacific has an oriental feel. The staff were both attentive and polite. Be prepared to share table if you were to come in a small group. We like the service we received and will come back again.

"Oops! I started eating and forgot to take pictures. My half eaten pork dumpling with chives."

"I will puff and puff... the puffy chicken steamed buns"

"fresh prawns in Shumai... you simply cannot resist."

"ah.. spare ribs... fleshy lean meat - great for those who dislike fatty meat."

"Yummy! my favorite. Great sauce as well."

Japanese Ramen @ Ajisen

Ajisen Ramen is a Japan-based chain of fast-food restaurants selling Japanese ramen noodle soup dishes. Ajisen Ramen has more than 120 stores located worldwide like United States, Southeast Asia countries such as Singapore, Australia and Canada. Price : Each dish cost less than $10 was very affordable. We ordered the Miso Ramen and Spicy Meat Ramen. Quality : I was a little disappointed with the ramen. The noodles seem to be slightly overdone. I prefer the ramen cooked in al dente style at one of its chain outlets back home. The broth was nice. Store layout : The restaurant located at Queens Crossing share the space with other restaurants like Sbarro, and Café Jojo. It has a see-through glass that customers can see how the chefs prepare the ramen. Since it is a franchise, I think, the staff were still very raw and needed time to get into momentum. The overall experience was so-so. One suggestion for the restaurant: instead of shouting the number on the receipt, the restau...

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...

Sweet Red Bean Fish @ Han Ah Reum Mart (Union Street)

I was shopping at Han Ah Reum Mart at Union Street when I stumbled upon a small snack outlet in the supermarket. The tempting and delicious aroma spread throughout the supermarket but you cannot help but follow the smell to the simple booth at the far end of the supermarket. Price : Value for money. Five pieces at at $4. Quality : A simple snack made from flour and moist red bean paste will be something I love each time I visit H-Mart. The five pieces of red bean fishes were shared between the two of us. Store layout : A simple booth that sells various pastries. But the sweet red bean pastry aroma caught my senses and got me addicted to it. "You will love it."
