Although I'm a huge fan of most Chinese meals, my utter distain of all things seafood kept me from going by myself. For weeks now, I've been pestering my friend Susan to go with me, and finally, she broke down.
Located at 20th Elizabeth Street (between Canal and Bayard Street) we made our way to the Jing Fong Restaurant. As I suspected, Susan perfectly differentiated between the dishes, ordering sides she suspected I'd like. We started with spring rolls and pork buns before diving deep in an order of Chinese barbecue. She couldn't leave without fried chicken feet, but I instead opted for watercress cake. For dessert, we were hoping for mango pudding, but we learned the hard way it's a crowd favorite and sells out quickly. The coconut-tarot jello was an appetizing alternative though.

The watercress cakes were surprisingly good. |
