Corner 28

In NYC's borough of Queens, there is a small take out window located at 40-28 Main Street. Here you can buy individual portions of peking duck for only $1! It's fresh and tasty and you don't have to go to a sitdown banquet for a fix.

Kyedong Chicken

Thanks "M" for recommending Kyedong Chicken in Flushing, Queens.

I was driving down Northern Blvd. looking for this small store front when I spotted their delivery car and followed it.

The Medium order of wings and drumsticks with soy garlic sauce was only $11.95. But it's cooked to order so I had to wait 35 minutes.

The reward was hot, crispy, flavorful chicken.

Xian Famous Foods

I visited the original Xian Famous Foods in NYC's borough of Queens a the Flushing Mall located at 133-31 39th Avenue.

Just out of curiousity I tried the Tingly Lamb Face Salad ($9.75). Yes, it was tingly (spicy). Yes it was made up of miscellaneous lamb face parts (lots of bones, not much meat). Yes, it was salad (no noodles).

I supplemented the meat with a pork bun ($2.50) which was a meal all by itself.

And I ventured to another vendor for a Pineapple smoothie ($3.25).

Bonelle Pastry Shop

This is one of my favorite bakeries in NYC's borough of Queens because they have one of the best lemon meringue tarts I have ever tasted. The lemon curd is not too sweet and not too tart. The meringue is perfectly browned and the crust is delicate.

For $3.50/tart this is a great dessert deal!

Tong Sam Gyup Gui

...is a Korean Pork BBQ restaurant located at 162-34 Depot Road. in Queens. This small restaurant can easily be spotted by the cartoon pigs on the outside windows.

We were all given complimentary bean sprout broth soup.

"M", "R", "S" and I had the Samgyupsal ($19.99/pp) which is thin sliced pork belly barbequed along with bean sprouts, garlic and kimchi tableside on giant convex grills. This is served with lettuce (to act as wraps), onions, pickled jalepeno peppers, peppercorns and two types of sauces.

Each diner is given an apron to protect their clothing. Once you wrap all the ingredients in the still damp lettuce the water and sauces drip down your hands and usually onto your laps. Several napkins are also required.

And to soak up any leftover pork fat we had Bibimbap ($1.99/pp) - rice with vegetables in a spicy sauce. This was placed on the same grill along with seaweed. The bottom layer of rice becomes slightly crispy.

The menu is very focused and there is no dessert. But "M" and "R" had beers. The only other beverage offered was water.

Pinang

This Malaysian restaurant is located at 111-10 Queens Blvd. in the NYC borough of Queens.

I ordered a coconut drink (coconut water with a pc of fresh coconut) - $3, roti canai (crispy indian pancake served with curry chicken dipping sauce) - $3.50 and 1/2 Hainese chicken (steamed chicken with chef's soy sauce) - $9.50.

These are some of my favorite dishes. I love the roti and can eat it every day.
