It was such a joy to see all of my friends again the other night, when we convened for the first time in far too long for dinner at Lucky Dumplings in Great Neck, NY. I had gotten takeout from Lucky Dumplings a few weeks prior, shortly after their Grand Opening, and was so impressed that I implored my friends to join me for a formal Chinese Quest review! I was anxious to hear what they thought, as the last few restaurants we visited had been a little disappointing. Would history repeat itself? Or were we going to get LUCKY tonight?

How to Make Bak Kwa (Chinese Pork Jerky)
Cuisines have different versions around the world. This is true even for a simple treat like jerky. Of course, it would be interesting if you will get to know its Chinese counterpart. But more than that, it would be a great thing if you will know how to make one. Specifically, the Chinese people pride their pork jerky, also known as Bak Kwa. It is a fine jerky with a very thin slice (much thinner than most commercial jerkies we can see in the Western markets). This is a favorite delicacy, especially on Chinese New Year. Try this simple recipe! You're going to love it!!

Tonight the Chinese Quest went to a very authentic Szechuan Chinese restaurant, "Szechuan Gourmet" in Flushing, NY. Perhaps a little too much chili spices, but this was the real deal!
