Eating Queens

There are many restaurant choices in downtown Flushing; too many to choose from without a guiding hand. This Saturday we took a bus down to Main Street, walked a few blocks (passing many eateries), and found a food court at 42-35.

We walked past a few eateries, including:

Just didn't know quite what to make of it. A few yards further on was Dumpling Galaxy, our chosen destination; we sat down, and ordered dinner: duck and mushroom dumplings 香菇鴨肉, lamb with green squash dumplings 羊肉西葫, and pan-fried cod.

 The duck dumplings are served upside down, the cod with peanuts and chilies.

Delicious. I love cilantro, but this stuff was just for show; I ate a couple of sprigs, then set it aside, not wanting to be distracted from the main attraction: the fish was huge, perfectly crisp, succulent, and the peanuts were luscious (the slices of chili peppers were mostly for show). I would definitely go back, except there are so many restaurants to try.
