LIRR, where the street bums go to eat. No. It's just me. I brought my take away Chinese rice-roll and iced coffee and ate there at the station. I didn't see any bums there, except myself and the real LIRR customers waiting for their train..jpg)
Iced coffee, $1.50. All sorts of Chinese dim sums to eat in or take away..jpg)
Made to order Chinese rice-roll. My order in the box already, rice-roll with dried shrimps and scallion. $1.50, with hot sauce .....jpg)
at&t on Main Street Flushing. People are lining up to get their iPhone 3G, wo hoo....NOTE: All these fine art quality pictures were taken using a camera phone. They are just mesmerizing, I say especially the second one from the top.
Boring, I protest in here once again, can you learn from our learnt Professor S to write something more exciting insiders' story, I am very much disappointed of you, you have wasted your D70, check your Inbox and see the pics that shot by my D60, just want to make you jealous, shame on you, again and again made me disappointed
ReplyDeleteLife is full of disappointment. Learn to live with it.
ReplyDeletethis is your life or my life in the last 20 yrears, now for my life and in the coming future, every day I have new excitments ike James Bond
ReplyDeleteI so envy you the convenience of being able to order dim-sum to go like that! Actually, when you say "rice roll with dried shrimp and scallions", are you talking about something like "chu cheung fun", "cheung fun" or those rice rolls wrapped in lotus leaves type things? (Forgive me my woeful pinyin also!) Even in restaurants, we can only order "cheung fun" here, but not "chu cheung fun" unfortunately :o(...
ReplyDeleteI'm using my blkberry to reply bc I just can. I never there's any fundamental diff bet chu cheung fun and cheung fun. The one fr the pic above I guess is moe of a cheung fun the shell is softer and thinner. When I was akid the only cheung fun are chu cheung fun really roll tight thicker. The softer ones are served in restaurant
ReplyDeleteI guess you are right to distinguish between chu cheung fun and cheung fun. Chu cheung fun is really thicker, and if you got it on the street, the vendor will cut it using a kitchen shear, whereas cheung fun served in restaurant is just softer and there is no cutting involved in general.
ReplyDeleteI have uploaded some pics of trees, insects and rivers in my wp2007 Blog, when don't you write something in the comment ?
ReplyDeleteThe main difference for me is that "cheung fun" has stuffing (char siu, beef, prawns, etc.) whereas "chu cheung fun" is literally just the rolled rice sheets dipped in hot or sweet sauce and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember getting "chu cheung fun" from a shop near my grandma's whose proprietor cut them expertly into strips using an old pair of kitchen shears. I always wanted to ask if he actually cleaned that but I never dared - and continued to buy from him anyway.
