Snapshots from Asia: Traditional Kuih Muih for the Gluten-Free Dessert Fiend
celinafang,
I fell in love with these when I had them on a Garuda Air flight and subsequently searched for them high and low. There used to be a pharmacy in Chinatown's Grand St. near the D subway that had a Vietnamese sweets counter in the back. I've gotten them there (though I don't think that pharmacy is there anymore) and also at a Thai restaurant on Baxter St. Hope that helps.
La Nacional: The Best, and Quirkiest, Spanish Restaurant in New York
A friend took me to La Nacional before they had a public restaurant at least 15 years ago and though he knew they required membership, we sauntered in anyway. At the time it was just a bar with some old guys hanging around drinking. I also think they have an excellent paella, better than what I had in Barcelona, not as good as Santander, and on a par with the paella made by a famous flamenco dancer in Sanlucar de Barremeda.
Serious Sandwiches: Merguez Frites
You can also find these up here in Harlem at an African owned patisserie call Les Ambassades (or something like that). Frederick Douglas around 119th.

I've seen plates of these at Deluxe Food Market in Chinatown (NY) and wondered how to cook them. So odd yet so cute. Thanks!
