Still one of my all-time favorite lunches: the @eatwsk1 Yum Yum Rice Bowl with grilled chicken, mushrooms, Chinese broccoli and a poached egg. How long has it been since you first parked the truck at 5th and Nicollet, @samehwadi ? Fifteen years? Sixteen? Seventeen? Seems like last summer. And, a lifetime. #ricebowl #ricebowls #foodtruck #foodtrucks #lynlake #samehwadi #lunch #mpls #minneapolis. Less

I am seriously bummed about the closing of Sanook Thai, one of Long Island’s fiercest Thai spots that was owned by immigrants from Northern Thailand and Laos. They closed this December, and could not be reached for comment.

But there’s a silver lining … The new spot, @pavirinthaibistro , serves an epic fried fish platter for $39.95. As you can see, it’s worth the trip to Hicksville.

Read more about the closure at the link in my bio.

Long Island dining highlight of the year, so far, has got to be House of Yoshin. (@hoy.huntington) It’s an incredibly ambitious kaiseki tasting menu spot in Huntington. I tried to do the experience justice in my @newsdayfeedme article. So if you’d like to learn more, please head to the link in my bio.

Very impressed with the soup dumplings and overall restaurant experience at @nanxiangsoupdumplings, a mini chain from Flushing that just opened a location in Westbury. Could the Samanea Mall be the dumpling capital of Long Island?

For my full thoughts on the restaurant and what to order, check the link in my bio. Thanks for lunch @erica_marcus !

Nearly every time I start up a conversation with a Chinese restaurant worker, they’ll say they’re from the Fujian province of Southeastern China. They always seem to be serving Sichuan food, or Yunnan food, or Japanese sushi or Vietnamese pho. But never Fujian food.

That’s why this meal was so special. @dandanzou66 ‘s friend @teng_chen_films is visiting her from China and happens to be from this area. She was gracious enough to show me around the menu at this newish spot we found, @mindushengyan in Flushing, Queens.

The poshness of the restaurant surprised us both, and to her it signaled the fact that New York’s Fujian population is moving on up. The tablet menu is encyclopedic and presents highbrow versions of many popular street foods. I was surprised to see sweet and sour pork on here, but apparently it’s a classic Fujian dish.

The rest of the meal was challenging even for this seafood lover. But extremely rewarding. Marinated snails in a soy sauce had an explosive salty flavor, but took awhile to eat with all that nibbling. The marinated crab dish was too sweet, in her opinion. And this soup, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, was loaded with sea cucumber, abalone, quail eggs and a couple other things I couldn’t identify. According to Wikipedia, the dish is supposed to get vegetarian Buddhist monks jumping over the wall of the monastery to eat it. Wow!
