Either one if not both of these restaurants are great options. Plus there's a few more around the city...few and far between...but they are there! Your taste buds will thank you! 😋
If you learn about southern chinese cuisine, it uses ingredients that are similar to south American and African cuisines. For example, yucca and malanga(taro) . Yucca probably brought by portuguese traders in the 16th century, but malanga is native to Asia and the pacific Islands. Steamed foods are just like the native Americans would steam their food like tamal.
Sorry I'm just seeing this now - don't know how I missed your comment but thanks for sharing that background - its interesting how there's that connection!
This was really well made. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks Kathy - I really appreciate that comment! :)
I love Cuban cuisine and Chinese cuisine too
Thank you so much. I remember discovering them in NYC in the 70's
Thanks for doing this story. My Spanish friends have told me this a while back but I haven’t had the chance to visit one in NYC yet.
