Last Day of New York Vacation

in food •  8 years ago 

I decided to spend the last day of my New York vacation in Flushing (Chinatown) with friends. To my surprise the area looked as busy as Chinatown in Manhattan. Chinese restaurants all over the place. New York is not the same as I left it years ago.

I asked my friends to order some exotic Chinese foods, but not the most exotic. I wanted to see if there was something I never tried before that would taste great, to be honest I felt a little adventurous. So I took a gamble.

The selection looked great, Hot Baked Fish, Veggie Noodles, Escargot, Skin on Shrimp, and some other foods I do not recall what the names were. Mind you these are the names loosely translated to English.

Escargot, was the dish I was looking for, I never tasted it before, I always wanted to, but the idea of eating snails never appealed to me. Boy I was so wrong, this was my biggest surprise, the flavour and taste were amazing. It was so good I can not put it in words. I was not the only judge at the table, my little princess kept asking for Escargot, while enjoying her noodles. I am teaching her to try exotic foods early so she would not get used to eating junk.

The restaurant we visited New Shanghai Tan Restaurant, uses fresh seafood cooked to order, it's located at 135-20 40th Rd. Flushing NY. If you are ever in NY, I recommend you try it.

Hot Baked Fish, Veggie Noodles, Escargot, Skin on Shrimp, and some other foods I do not recall what the names were. All these dishes are awesome and i have tried those all, Escargot is the best of these all and stands out because of its great taste and serving hospitality.

A very good taste @joseph your soul is an adventurous spirit and you are the type of person who likes with something new, it is good fun indeed. I also really like about the new things I hope your holiday is always fun. I am now following you, and I hope you also want to follow me @riezky best regard steemit from indonesia

@joseph so you're the guy on the 1st pic?
I was wondering what you look like
you look very happy there :)

Nice post. Flushing is a very eclectic place. My spouse and I lived a few blocks from Main Street, Flushing for 16 years. We suffered a huge loss, our cats and home in a fire. Flushing is similar to China Town, but Chinatown is located in lower Manhattan. Not Queens. Flushing , Queens, has some great places like The Town Hall and Arts Center. The Old Quaker House near Main Street (about 4 blocks) is one of the first Quaker homes. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed it!

I love Chinese food and it's looks good here. I'm scared to try escargot though, I don't know perhaps one day I will brave enough to try it.

very delicious

Looks yummy, fun post to share

Life is to be shared and enjoyed - Looks like you are succeeding at both :)

wow, a great place to enjoy yummy foods...next time, I will join . Great pictures, keep it up

One of the best kitchen of the world! Chinese cuisine!
Escargot soup or with garlic butter is amazing too dear!

I also like chinese foods

The last time I was in NY was before 911, would love to go back again

looks delicious 🤤

I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that's very simple on the digestive system - I tend to keep it light. I love Japanese food too - sushi, sashimi and miso soup.

You must also try the all you can eat buffet it is amazing

These look really delicious! Yummy!

I've never been to NYC before, but I have always wanted to visited there. I think it would be so much fun to try the various ethnic foods that are so readily available. Looks like you all are having a great time and I'm glad you got to return. Hope you have a good evening!

Just upvoted

So much amazing food! made me hungry! keep up great posts Joseph :)

so having fun with food .
that's nice
have a wonderful and mouth watering food

Chinese food is delicious. Thanks for the excellent photos.

Very nice food and great photos to -well done

The food looks so good. Looks like it was great last day in NY. I'll definitely check it out when I visit.

The food looks delicious. Snails are not very attractive at first when you think of the thick rubberish skin. But when they preparer well it is delicious. Since you liked these escargots chinese style I think you might also like Escargots in the traditionel french style. With a lot of butter, garlic and herbs you want to lick your plate clean.

wow! you really had a sumptuous meal, look at the table,lol.

Nice

Great cooking skills the food looks tasty

I used to live in Flushing(when they were building the 2nd Yankee Stadium).I was around the corner from the RKO Keiths.
The worlds Fair was cool in 1964.That gives away my age,but NYC was a great place to be born and raised.It has everything at pretty much any time of the day,or night! I am currently in the Philippines,and experiencing another new(to me) culture!

That food looks delicious

In 2 months I will go to New York so I thank you for the restaurant you recommended. The food looks very good.

The food seems too delicious :)

I also like chinise foods

That looks like some great food! I visited Chinatown once, and it was amazing. The culture there is so friendly and there's a variety of food like I've never seen.

I like like that you said skin on shrimp. My wife like me to peel them all before I cook them. Rinse them in lemon They taste much better with the skin off!

Awesome man! Loving all the visuals. Good to see the content. Keep it coming :)

Yummy food!! I told one of my friends to check out this place and she loved it. thank you for the recommendation :)

Loved snails (escargot) when I was in Taiwan too!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Everyone always talks about Chinatown, Manhattan, but nowadays people talk about Flushing Queens!

Thanks for the recommendations!

I always love chinnese food

Really looks like your family enjoyed the food. I don't think i would be able to eat the Escargot. That seems a little too exotic for my taste. You sir are one brave man.

I have never been to a Chinatown of any city. So thanks for sharing. At least I have some impression till I visit myself such a place. :)

That looks fantastic. I live in Manhattan, but I've never been to Queens, except for the time I spaced out and stayed too long on the train, only to get out at a station with no reentry to the subway. I've also heard Flushing has some great thrift stores. Thank you for the recommendation!

Thanks for sharing : )
