Momos Cravings? • Beef Sukuti and Tandoori Chicken Momos🇳🇵I am fearful of fusion because the execution often falls short of the culinary promise, which was my hesitancy of trying the recently opened @momocrave offering spins of the Nepali momos. @wendalicious888 said it was worth going so I am in. In the foreground is the combo of two Nepali dishes— the sukuti and momos. The deep fried momos with a beef filling are tossed in a beef sukuti, which is a popular dried meat snack. Sukuti is dried meat that is further enhanced by frying, smoked, or roasted with cumin, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper after which the meat is mixed with ginger, cilantro, garlic, and scallion. Really good. In the background is the tandoori momo with a chicken filling. While I did not discern a strong and distinct tandoori flavor, it was still a tasty dish. I did notice the thin and resilient dumpling skin to withstand the different cooking techniques without breaking and being tough in texture. Well done. Tip 1: One can opt for beef for chicken for any of the Momo selections. Tip 2: There are 8 momos per order so tables of 2 or 4 people are best for even sharing. NB: Right off the 69 Street station stop on the 7 line, @momocrave is next door to @purpledoughs if interested in dessert after dinner. So convenient. o o o #gustasian #eatqueens #queensfood #queenseats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #newyorkfood #foodnerd #nepalifood #momos #momo #dumplings #dumpling #sukuti #tandoori (at Momo Crave) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxBS51BAM7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq45be3dr3jo

I finally made it to @yifangteanyc at their @yifang.chinatownnyc location to try the mango pomelo sago drink. After seeing @flushingfoodie and @gustasian post about this I had a feeling I would like it! This is a great drink. I haven't tried their other mango drinks yet but I like the combination with the sago. It reminds me of desserts my sister always loves. I didn't realize you could lower the sweetness level so next time I definitely will drop to 30% or less. I did think it was a little sweet for my taste. ⛵️ ➖ 🥤 @yifang.chinatownnyc 🚦 67 Bayard St., Chinatown, NYC 📍 40° 42' 55" N🧭73° 59' 54" W ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ❤️ Like and Follow @TheHungrySkipper 🥭 🥤 🥭 🥤 🥭 #theHungrySkipper #yifangtaiwanfruittea #yifang #yifangtea #bobatea #bobalife #bobalove #sago #mangopomelosago #mangopomelo — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/120737721_197591688401449_7082709486749219076_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=WAosuxbGV58AX-X-Hjl&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=77addda7c0a7f35a9f35d1d28bd45578&oe=5F9D6E21

Our leak proof 10” Palm Plates were used to serve some mind blowing dishes that included the best seafood from @aquabestnyc with lobster, crab and shrimp served on a bed of coconut rice and mini-buns. Lovely picture by @gustasian

Stewed beef and potatoes with rice and beans. This little Dominican “cafe” is packed into the hallway of a freight elevator in midtown Manhattan. Serving a surprising variety of options like ox-tail, roast chicken, and this beef stew among others. — Swipe ⬅️ to wait in line along the wall on the left while deliveries are rolled by your right. You will be rewarded with a steam table full of food that’ll likely run you less than $10. We all know what a treat that is in midtown. — Thanks to @foodandfootprints, @gustasian, and @dyske.nyc for showing me the ropes 🙏🏼 (at Acuario Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyA40qFbkx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j8mfr1zd18cs

I've walked past this stall at Golden Shopping Mall so many times and had no idea this incredible spicy and sour cold noodle was there . Thanks to @wandersauce @gustasian and everyone else in Queens for putting it on the map for me.

You BAE Ube • Ube Leche Flan and Crinkle Cookies 🇵🇭 @purpledoughs was introduced to me when @foodandfootprints brought ube and pandan flavored sugar crinkle cookies to a delicious dinner prepared by @restaurantfairy. Swipe left 👈🏻 for a photo of the cookies. Stopped by the recently opened bakery, which is next door to dinner at @momocrave, @nigelsie, @wendalicious888 and I shared this ube flavored cake on top of a leche flan. I won’t repeat what I have already written about on my feed about ube and leche flan. We can admire how pretty it is. o o o #gustasian #eatqueens #queensfood #queenseats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #newyorkfood #foodnerd #nyceeeeeats #foodinfluencer #ube #lecheflan #desserts #purpledoughs #crinklecookies #pinoyfood (at Purple Dough) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpuayTFhTuP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7nr21slgfcbm

That’s All Yolks • Golden Yolk Threads on Thai Custard 🇹🇭 On top of the mound of golden egg yolk threads, Foi Thong, is my favorite Thai dessert, which is the Thai Custard with Taro aka Khanom Mo Kaeng Pueak. This egg custard, Khanom Mo Kaeng, can have hulled mung beans or lotus seeds too. This fine example with Taro is from @khaonomnyc. Foi Thong is based on the Portuguese Egg Thread called Fios de Ovos and known as Angel Hair. This post is a follow up to the Portuguese egg custard Pasteis de Nata. My Thai language teacher @pimchaisuwan had once shared with me that Thai egg desserts came from a Portuguese lady, who was half Japanese named Maria Guyomar de Pinha or Thao Thong Kip Ma in Thai, in the Thai Royal Court during the 17th Century. If familiar with traditional Asian desserts, the use of egg, cream, sugar, and a starch for a dessert is quite a culinary departure. With these two desserts and Goan cuisine, I inadvertently am on a Portuguese inflected food kick. Maybe it’s subconscious after a palate awakening? 🤔 o o o #gustasian #forkyeah #nyceeeeeats #foodpic #foodgasm #instaeats #eaterny #grubstreet #yelpqueens #dailyfoodfeed #feastagram #infatuationnyc #eatingnewyork #eqdailypic #eatqueens #queenseats #queensfood #feastagram #foodnerd #eatingfortheinsta #dessert #sweet #thaifood #khanommokaeng #foithong #ฝอยทอง #ขนมหม้อแกง (at KHAO NOM) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpS-ltRhOvO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12mzlrefw5dxg

Waste Not ... Pastéis de nata • Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts 🇹🇲 Egg Custard Tarts have been omnipresent in my life as Hong Kong Daan Taat or the “burnt” style from Macau 😉 to later learn that they are derivatives of this Portuguese dessert. I learned this year about another yolk-y Asian dessert that also originated from the Portuguese. This got me wondering... why? Research revealed that these extra yolks were originally excessed from the whites aka albumen, which were used to starch clothing of the religious class, such the nuns’ habits. To avoid waste, sweet desserts incorporating yolks were created. These lovely examples are served hot with a dash of cinnamon and sprinkle of confectioner sugar by @joeybatscafe at the penultimate Saturday of the 2018 @queensnightmarket. Find him at his newish brick and mortar store and possibly next week at the QNM season closer. o o o #gustasian #eatqueens #queensfood #queenseats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #newyorkfood #foodnerd #nyceeeeeats #foodinfluencer #queensnightmarket #pasteisdenata #pasteisdebelem #pasteis #eggcustard #joeybatssweets #portuguesefood (at Queens International Night Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQX-LGhLVV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1doe3qymqhlkz

Big Dipper • Tsukemen Ramen 🇯🇵 Here is a bowl of perfectly cooked ramen. Swipe 👈🏻 left for the different broths @ramen_shinshi into which to dip the ramen. Don’t let the ramen sit in the broth, which is warm and could further cook the ramen passed its ideal preparation. The Miso broth has a thinner consistency while the Saba is more viscous, which I am seeming to develop a preference. Tsukemen style allows the best of all worlds— eating each component separately or combined! Tip: This cellar restaurant is located in the north side of the block. Look for the logo, which will be at eye level, then go down metal stairs for the entrance to this subterranean restaurant. 🥢 🥢 🥢 #gustasian #topcitybites #ilovefood #foodporn #foodstagram #foodspotting #foodpics #foodgram #fooddiary #getinmybelly #yummy #newforkcity #instagood #instafood #dailyfoodfeed #forkyeah #delicious #eatingfortheinsta #feastagram #shotoniphonex #ramen #yelpnyc #japanesefood #fravorites #tsukemen #noodles #chopsticksramen (at Shinshi Ramen NY 吉祥寺ラーメン津志) https://www.instagram.com/p/BocXzgFhJLR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jinj1lj1ejdn

This is the biggie • Chipa Guasu 🇳🇱 This Paraguayan cheesy corn soufflé gets its name from the Guaraní language where this baked dish is considered the largest among all types of chipas, which are baked goods made of corn. Chipa Guazu, an alternate spelling, is gluten-free and was brought out first then quickly followed by a bottle of vinegary hot sauce at @iloveparaguayrestaurant I’m going to pour it on. The vinegary spicy sauce is a good foil to this rich Chipa. Is there any need to say this tastes good? 😉 Guaraní is a native language of Paraguay and neighboring regions. It is still widely spoken and one of the official languages along with Spanish. Tip: That one edge pulled away in this shot was alI ate. So, this is easily shareable by 3-4 people. NB: @iloveparaguayrestaurant participating in this year’s Sunnyside Restaurant Week running from September 23-29 with a prix fixe dinner menu three course dinner option for $25 per person plus tax and tip. The Chipa Guasu is not included in the price. This is not a sponsored post. o o o #gustasian #eatqueens #queensfood #queenseats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #newyorkfood #foodnerd #sunnyside #nyceeeeeats #iloveparaguay #sunnysiderestaurantweek #eqdailypic #paraguayanfood #chipaguazu #chipaguasu #glutenfree #chipa #souffle (at I Love Paraguay Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHbBRNBsKU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k8y9i76mbgjd

Accomplished! 🇮🇳 @vatannyc has been on my list forever. I recruited my friend @ethnojunkie to this table-service All You Can Eat Restaurant serving Indian food from the western state of Gujarat. Two fun facts about me are that I eat strictly vegetarian at least five days of the week but my goal is six. And, my day job is in commercial real estate where I have worked with many Gujarati, all of whom told me to come to this restaurant to sample their cuisine or come over for dinner. This restaurant is right up my alley and was such a wonderful treat. Due to influence of the Jain religion, Gujarati food is mainly vegetarian. I find Indian vegetarian really appealing because many dishes are not a substitution like a faux fish or fiction chicken, etc. The appeal is the vegetable dish itself. I also find that this regional cuisine is not as spicy as other regions. For Dewi fans, the medium spicy at this restaurant was a level 0.5. These colorful fryums in the shapes of stars and wheels were a fun way to start. They start as dehydrated flour and starch shapes that pouf up when they hit hot oil like Asian shrimp chips. Swipe left for the annotated appetizers served on a metal thali and the chutneys. Thanks to @ethnojunkie who is a better listener than me and was conferred on the photo annotation. Working on the entree post. Tip 1: This restaurant only serves dinner. Look for the elephant on the east side of Third Avenue for this restaurant, which is the last shot. Tip 2: I would have asked to save the fried garlic for the entree round. The condiments are carefully curated and pair though. NB: This is not a help yourself All You Can Eat Restaurant. Everything is brought to the table. Any additional servings will be brought over by the helpful wait staff who do a tremendous job of explaining each dish and will not make you feel gauche. o o o #gustasian #eatnyc #nyceats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #newyorkfood #foodnerd #indianfood #gujaratifood #vatannyc #thali #vegetarian #ayce (at Vatan Indian Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7YhLMBUXV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pymxri5o5a1a

Tortilla Española Con Espinaca 🇪🇸 This is my triangular pincho de tortilla portion from @fireflynewyork, which I grabbed for breakfast. While she does serve the traditional potato and egg version, the spinach called out to me. This is the first time I have seen one with spinach so I am unsure if this is typical or a riff on s classic. It definitely filled a hole. I can’t wait to see the prix fixe $25 menu to be posted for this petit restaurant participating in the Sunnyside Restaurant Week. o o o #forkyeah #nycfoodie #instaeats #gustasian #yelpqueens #foodblogger #eqdailypic #eatqueens #nyceeeeeats #queensfood #delicious #yummy #feastagram #queenseats #instafood #instagood #topfoodnews #eatingfortheinsta #foodnerd #spanishfood #tortillaespañola #espinaca #fireflynewyork #sunnysideshines #cheesy #meatlessmonday #meatfreemonday (at FireFly Petit Café Bistro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1OneRhSP5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wq6u0v61bn2g

Good Morning • Freddo Capuccino 🇬🇷 I would love to have this today again from @cafeboulis. Love the striations of caffeine topped with cream and cinnamon. Swipe 👈🏻 left for an aerial shot of the drink. I understand from @foodandfootprints that this espresso beverage is a staple summer drink in Greece where part of his family is from.

Redundancy is good when it comes a chicken appetizer 🙏🏻 Usually a chicken lollipop is a wing with its meat pushes to the bigger joint, which makes it easier to eat because it morphed into a drumstick and the meat is separated from the bone. Since I prefer dark meat, this drumstick lollipop is perfect for me! @nigelsie has eaten here before and had the forethought to order a steamed tingmo, which I used to swipe up all the caramelized onions and peppers. Swipe 👈🏻 left for a look at this fluffy steamed Tibetan bread similar to a Chinese mantou bun. Thanks to @nigelsie, Lungta became our Plan B when the original stop we trekked to ran out of all food at 8 PM when we arrived, which was only 2 hours from its open and was close at 11 PM... Don’t get me started on this again. 😉 o o o #gustasian #eatqueens #queensfood #queenseats #TopCityBites #ILoveFood #Foodstagram #Foodgram #GetInMyBelly #Yummy #InstaDaily #InstaGood #InstaFood #DailyFoodFeed #ForkYeah #Delicious #EatingForTheInsta #feastagram #foodnerd #nyceeeeeats #eqdailypic #lungta #friedchicken #chickenlollipop #tingmo #tibet #tibetanfood #drumstick (at Jackson Heights, New York)
