zomg eggplants! I just ate a huge amount of food, but that picture of spicy eggplant is turning my taste buds into tasty tasty saliva...

Fresh Artichokes

I haven't had a steamed artichoke in quite a while, but back in the day we used to dip em in fresh made dijon salad dressing. Again, it isn't too healthy, but...

It's pizza night!

Definitely a pizza bagel on an everything bagel. With fresh mozzarella and a sprig or two of fresh bagel on a good day.

Grilled Cheese Throwdown

Purists don't look, but when I was little my favorite was a "pizza grilled cheese" sandwich: marinara sauce and mozzarella on Jewish rye, buttered and fried. It might not be a "real" grilled cheese, but it comes darn close to my favorite comfort sandwich.

Oh my goodness! Pork Belly chinese style? I have died and gone to heaven! It might look like hell with that cave aesthetic though!hehe:)
Pan Fried Noodles are one of those dishes I crave when I am feeling like having something naughty. Now I have to try this place AND Amazing 66! If you ever need a extra eater in Chinatown I am your girl---I just love Chinese food(the real stuff that is). You really do great restaurant reviews. I always want to go to them all.

@butterface: I just realized I never answered your question about the sesame rice balls.. ...well, I have no idea. WOW I AM SO HELPFUL, not. I'd ask next time I go!

Oh no, now I want to go to Chinatown even more than usual.

I've been to New Yeah, but only with unadventurous eaters (general tso's-eaters). The food was good, especially the tofu skin with preserved vegetables, but I was thwarted in my attempt to order lots of interesting stuff to share. Next time!

Does anyone know if they have the all-important sesame rice balls off-menu?

"a sadness that cannot be overcome by porky goodness"?! That is some hilarious writing. Pork and fat never sounded so good.

More than at most places in Manhattan's Chinatown, other customers at New Yeah Shanghai Deluxe are happy to offer recommendations. I've discovered a lot of amazing food that way.

@Joey: Glad you enjoyed it! Pork shoulder in honey sauce? Okay NOW I WANT THAT TOO.

@natty: Good reaction to the eggplant! That's what I wanna hear!!

@Christina: 'Twas. And then I digested it.

@Doug: The faux cave really does add something.

Too fatty? You mean...cos it was mostly fat? Noo! I gotta whip you into shape! Fat-eating shape.

It was great hanging out with you, Kathy, Don, et al. Nothing intrigues me more than Chinese food served in a faux cave.

The pork was a little too fatty for my tastes.
