Badda bing badda boom, The Chinese Quest was in the House.  Fuggeddaboutit!  The Chinese Quest came to Brooklyn, and we left our mark.  Our mark this evening was Pacificana Restaurant in Brooklyn’s Chinatown section (8th Avenue in the Sunset Park area).  Good thing we had a trusty map because even after parking literally right in front of it, we walked right ...

I confess, I would never eat Moo Goo Gai Pan. But, I will admit that I LOVE saying "Moo Goo Gai Pan". If you'd like to make some yourself, try this recipe!

Hitting the Superfecta in Little Neck It takes four things to perfectly align to hit a Superfecta.  And on this Erev Christmas Eve we hit all four ALL on one block in Little Neck!  Our Quest this evening took us to Pine Court Chinese Bistro, which by the name doesn’t at all appear to be an authentic Chinese restaurant.  Such an ...

I scream; You scream; We ALL scream for ice cream! And ice cream seems like the perfect dessert to end a dinner of Chinese food with. What is your favorite?

The Quest For Great Chinese Food A Long Term Odyssey   One of my fondest memories is that every other Thursday evening, I went with my family for a Chinese dinner. It was a sort of convoluted adventure, because my parent’s (who had 2 homes) kept one Kosher home, and one that was not! We would leave our Kosher home ...

Dumplings on my Mind Class is now in session. A Chinese dumpling, or a wonton, is a staple food popular throughout China.  Dumplings were likely introduced to the West by early settlers in Chinatown, who came primarily from the Cantonese-speaking coastal cities in Southern China. It seems like I’ve got dumplings on the brain as it’s the second time in ...

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. So, instead, we headed to Northern Manor Restaurant, located at 251-15 Northern Blvd., Little Neck. Northern Manor is ...

Foo Kee Seafood – Dish Analysis Our latest adventure has led us back to Flushing to try some Cantonese style cuisine. Foo Kee Seafood Restaurant is located at 136-14 38th Ave.  Pulling up to the place, some of the Mees were put off by the “B” grade which was posted at the entrance. Apparently, anything lower than an “A” would ...
