Chong Qing Xiao Mian, New World Mall, Flushing

New World Mall is amazing. Particularly the food court in the basement, with its 26 or so regional Chinese and East Asian food stalls. The best dish I’ve had here is Chong Qing Xiao Mian’s (look for stall 19) braised rib noodle soup with peanuts. It lights a gemlike vermilion flame inside you. Mala red and torn-coriander green. It makes your whole body tingle.On your way home from New Earth, pick up a brown sugar pearl milk from Tiger Sugar’s stand by the subway. Tiger Sugar represents the bleeding edge of third-wave Taiwanese boba shops. They claim to have invented pearl milk: delicious, painterly cups of warm tapioca pearls, caramelized syrup and sweet cream. So much sugar it gives you a real body high, it spins you out.

Turns 100 this year! They love any excuse to party, but their halfway to Oktoberfest celebration is coming up. Sign up for the stein holding competition! also- DONOVANS PUB in Sunnyside Queens. A very charming Irish Pub that is also a Mets bar. I hear if you visit them after a game and show them your Mets ticket they’ll give you a free beer.

Pad gra Pao

My partner accused me of a murder-su*cide attempt last time I made this because I used 15 Birds Eye chilis.. enough heat to make one delirious. I follow this recipe VERY loosely. Usually double the sauce, double the green beans. Add red bell pepper. Add king oyster mushroom (diced, salted, water squeezed out).
