Cumin in Chinese Food It was just the other night when we dined at Red Tiger Dumpling House in Stony Brook that I first encountered the use of cumin in Chinese food.  We asked the waiter about it, and it just made me more curious to learn more about this fascinating spice called cumin. It’s not just used in Indian ...

Best Soup Dumplings on Long Island Red Tiger Dumpling House is located at 1320 Stony Brook Road in Stony Brook, LI. I must say it’s nice to find a little gem in Suffolk County.  The old adage “You can’t tell a book, by its cover” has never been more true. From the outside, you would pass this place over and ...

We truly had a meal fit for Kings tonight, and we were treated like Royalty.  From the moment that you see Asian Jewels Seafood Restaurant, you feel like you're walking into some place special.  The place was immaculate.  The service is meticulous.  The waiters are attentive.  And, the bathrooms were the best I have ever seen (though I can only speak of the Men's room).

And wait to you read about the entrees we had!

Good Neighborhood Eats Like many great explorers before us, you always have to be quick on your feet. The Quest was supposed to bring us to Stony Brook, LI, but our intended restaurant was closed on Mondays. We had to switch gears.

We strayed just across the Nassau County border in to ...
