Sizzling black pepper beef in hot plate @ Chao Zhou Restaurant [Closed]

I always go ga-ga over dishes with black pepper. This time, without fail, I went berserk when I saw the key word ‘black pepper’ in the menu. We decided to give it a try and see how it differs from home.

Price: Not your money's worth. It is priced more than $10. With that quality, I rather buy something else.

Quality: The beef was sliced at an angle that it was difficult to chew or cut the beef into smaller proportions. I had difficulty in swallowing the sliced beef. The sauce was below average. It did not give that ‘oomph’ feeling. I suggest you give this dish a miss.

Store layout: Located directly opposite of the Flushing Main Library, Chao Zhou Restaurant was very popular food joint. It was always crowded during the weekends. A simple arrangement of furniture made the restaurant neat and pleasant. You will be greeted by a Terracotta solder at the entrance.

"The sizzling hot black pepper looks good only."

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.

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. Where : Sago Café, 39-
