Burnt ends

I wouldn't have thought to try mac n cheese with the light brown curry'ish gravy but they asked if I wanted... and it's really good together

Ok! Never had the fried shrimp there... Next visit I'm checking it out for sure. I have no doubts that it's serious

I like Porto Rico's French Colombian beans

Perhaps mookleknuck is referring to the downstairs bathrooms at Golden Mall...

I didn't know you were cassoulist! Mmmm

Not yet...

Anybody know of any good cassoulet to be had in Brooklyn?

I'm pretty sure I saw something about them re-opening... Not 100% though

The steamed dumplings at Super Taste are really good but I haven't read much talk about them

sans tip

Rocco's Calamari was majorly happening today! 3 of us went for my son's 20th birthday. He requested Rocco's after we remembered Little Pepper (his usual first choice for anything) is closed on Thursday. We had 2 orders fried calamari with hot sauce, small seafood salad, large broccoli rabe (w. extra garlic), grilled shrimp (6), raw clams (2 dozen) and baked clams (6).
All were delicious and I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Bill came to $90

Any places in EV serving white borscht everyday?

Any recommended brand of packaged Lo Mein noodles to look for at Fei Long or Hong Kong supermarkets?

Anybody know any good chocolate cake or carrot cake makers in the East Village for a birthday tomorrow? (I only know about Veniero's and DiRoberti's...)

Ah, yeah, I forgot to include the mapo tofu on my list...

My favorites are Braised Sliced Fish In Spicy Soup Base, Cumin Lamb, Crust of Cooked Rice with Pork (not spicy), Double Cooked Pork, Enhanced Pork, Smoked Tea Duck (not spicy), Cucumber w. Garlic (nice to fight off the heat with), DanDan Noodles... Most of these dishes are pretty popular... So many I have yet to try

Not at all...

I was to Chuko once and it was very good

My son told me he got delivery from there the other day... I thought they closed a few months back... Anybody?

In Antwerp you'll want to go to Kulminator
Vleminckveld 32 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium
03 232 45 38

If I only have time to hit just one of the aforementioned which is your favorite?

Thanks!

I used to get a packaged smoke duck (halves or legs) but am finding those harder to find lately... I tried something that I thought was the same thing (sans packaging hence no English subtitles) and it turned out to be maybe salted duck... too salty my purposes. Can somebody tell me how to pronounce and spell smoked duck that would be understood in Sunset Park? Not sure what is mostly spoken there...

I'm seconding Rocco's... Went last week after not going for a year... Just had the calamari w. hot sauce (on the side) and really excellent. Also only 2 blocks from Fei Long

I'm going to Jelenia Gora next month... Anybody ever been? If so, any restaurant advice?

I'm just off 7th Ave and Flatbush and it occurred to me that I haven't seen any salad bars around here... Anybody know of any?

Good to know! I thought they had closed the day after I went for the first time (6/8)... Better hit it hard now

They were still open yesterday?
