@ gargupie: Whoa, lava melting egg yolk?! The ones I've had were always solid.
@ Joe DiStefano: Thanks for the recommendation!
@ alicemeichi: I didn't know they had one with wintermelon! The tin has Tai Wing Wah in English on it. Also it's the one with the picture of big flowers.

Amazing 66: A Truly Amazing Menu in Manhattan's Chinatown
Roast Chicken with Garlic/Preserved Vegetable is one of my faves! Great review! You got a lot of the dishes my family and I would've ordered. I gotta try that fried chicken stuffed with sticky rice.

@ NYminknit: Thanks!
@ engmcmuffin: It's terrible for you??? It is a bit pricey at 4 something to 5 dollars. But it's a nice treat every so often.
Off the Beaten Path: Taking One for the Team at LQQM Kung Fu Bing in Chinatown
Went there a few weeks ago and it was pretty disappointing. I think I was expecting something more than meh-tastic sandwiches.

@ lambowner: Food Network shows reruns pretty often so if you missed that episode you can catch it before the next one on: Thurs. 9 p.m.ET/PT, Fri. 12 a.m. ET/PT, and Sat. 2 p.m. ET/PT

@ lambowner: New episodes of Next Food Network Star are on Sunday nights at 9.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
They don't host the entire episodes online but they do have the recipes from each show.

@ Grumpy Old Man: The links are just links to the shows' mainpages.
Food Network, enough cakes already!!!
Yeah I try not to put any of those shows on the food show listings. What do you feel about the shows on PBS and public television? Are there any good food (and drink) shows online? Also, a tangent of sorts, any good food and/or drink radio shows/podcasts?
Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
Hey no problem. I've had that happen to me a bunch of times too.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
@ arm1970: It's not in the tv listings but I see that he mentioned it in his blog. I'll add it. Thanks for the heads up.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
It was canceled about 3 weeks ago. Fortunately, you can watch the rest of the unaired episodes on the show's website or Hulu. New episodes appear online each Wednesday.
Serious Grape: Mixing Up a Case of Wine for Spring
Wow that photo fits this informative post so well!
Chinatown for kids
It might be cool to have dim sum at Jing Fong. Or if you're looking for rice dishes try Hsin Wong. For snacks you can try Malaysia Beef Jerky and for candy Aji Ichiban (at 37 mott street and 167 hester street) or the Hong Kong Supermarkets (at 157 hester street and 109 E Broadway).
Head to Malaysia Beef Jerky in Chinatown For All Your Meat Jerky Needs
Yeah this place is really good! Also try Pings on Mulberry across the street from the park. And there's another place on Bayard next to the flower store (I haven't tried though).
Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
You're welcome! Yeah I totally agree. I wish there was more of a variety but I guess you'd have to go online for that.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
I copied over a past recommendation. Sorry! It's fixed now!
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
Yeah I wish there were more and different options or perspectives. Also I wonder what other quality food shows there are in other countries.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
Yeah I understand. But I thought the subject matter was interesting.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekday Edition
Oops! It's on NBC.
Photo of the Day: Crocodile Meat for Sale
Wow, I can't believe I've missed this!!! I'll gotta check this out!
Five Bucks, Five Dishes, High Five? Lunch Box Buffet/Fay Da Bakery in Midtown West
Wow! I'm surprised it's only $5. That's the about same rate as it is at buffet places in Chinatown. Oh wait! I think it's the same people/owners!
Amazing 66: A Truly Amazing Menu in Manhattan's Chinatown
Another small bone to pick, following that of the Rebbetzin: Japanese pumpkin is kabocha, not to be confused with kombucha (the ubiquitous seaweed-based health food store tea so popular in trendy NY nabes these days). Kambucha seems like it would be some autumnal fantasy drink for Park Slope yoginis that combine the two.
PS. I live in Park Slope and I love it. Not hatin'.

yum...i am booking flight to NYC soon!

The Boyfriend went up to take a pic with the panda, but I wouldn't touch anything with a cheesy mascot and unabashedly try to be the next KFC. I'm glad you are brave enough to try so I don't have to. For that I thank you.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
Right place/right time - I was pecking away at my computer here at SE and watching Nigella when the commercial came on for Alex's Day Off...LOL.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
Thanks Chiff...thought Alex was on tomorrow. I think I can forgive them for taking The Cooking Loft off. Really enjoyed her passion for food.
Fresh Food on TV: Weekend Edition
I have no use for the Iron Chef game show but there's a lot of great viewing listed above.
I don't know why TVFN doesn't pimp the 5 Ingredient girl more. She didn't win a lame game show to get on TV and she's got some good ideas.
Just saw a commercial for Alex's Day Off. It's on tomorrow (Sunday, October 18) at 9:30 a.m. eastern.
Anne Burrell rules. If only she'd quit babbling every single move she makes in the kitchen ("going to put this right here"). She needs to settle just a bit but her show content is spot on and she's a good kitchen ambassador.
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
FYI, I went to Hong Kong Supermarket in Flushing yesterday and they had the ACC brand on sale at 19.99 for 2 tins, of lotus paste with DOUBLE yolk. I instantly got those and they def rank among one of the best mooncakes I've had. I am Chinese native and fervent mooncake lover.
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
I love mooncake, although they are getting so expensive...
My girlfriend love bailian flavor~
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
I would like to know how far in advance the mooncakes in the tins are baked. My mom always warned me that you never know if they were left over from last year (and that they might have worms inside). Like fruit cakes.

The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
We went to Tai Pan in Chinatown and bought the colorful ones: snowyskin, strawberry, taro, and sesame ones. Here are our photos:

The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
This is a really comprehensive starter kit for mooncake! It's crazy how much mooncake history and paraphernalia is out there.
I gave you props in my reporter's blog: http://blogs.journalism.cuny.edu/interactive2010/2009/10/04/mooncake-why-i-love-being-chinese/
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
There are so many kinds of mooncakes nowadays. The mochi style, strawberry, mango, green tea and durian. I think they are trying to make it much more popular than the once-a-year traditional kind. It used to be so filling that you would touch the stuff only for its traditional value and not much for the taste. Personally I like the ones with white lotus seed paste and one of two yolks.

not sure about the taste of this w+k mooncake, but it has an augmented reality pattern on it:

The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
This year I've got the tried and trusted Wing Wah but also a whole assortment of 'Yizhiwan" mini mooncakes - loads of different flavours. Been eating them all month!

How big are these usually? length X width?
The Best Mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
What I never see in NYC are the colorful snowskin versions like they have in Singapore and Malaysia. The flavors are crazy, as are the hues.

@cg_ups, Alaska Sausage and Seafood sells "salmon strips" online... http://www.alaskasausage.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/03.html (8th or 9th item down the page)
I used to love tearing into those. Delish!
A Guide to Jerky in Manhattan's Chinatown
Salmon jerky is a fine treat. Sorry you can't find any. Here folks make it themselves and buy it at most of the supermarkets.

Awesome post, thanks! I had some pork bakkwa in Singapore a couple months ago and have been wondering where the best places are in NYC. I'll definitely have to give these places a try.
A Guide to Jerky in Manhattan's Chinatown

A Guide to Jerky in Manhattan's Chinatown
I had a fantastic green papaya salad (somewhere not in NYC) served with two kinds of jerky, one of them livery. It was a stellar combination -- green papaya, tart dressing, jerky. Anyone seen that here?
