Refrigerated takeout containers aren't the most appetizing but I’m just not motivated to set up elaborate shots. I’d certainly rather have this dish over sushi or Subway sandwiches. This would be a great lunch with a big bowl of rice. I like innards so all was well, but I hate to admit that I don’t know what animal they came from.īeef with green chiles were totally green chiles with beef, in a good way. I imagined thin, lengthy organs like I’d recently eaten with Argentinean parrillada but they were girthy and sliced lengthwise and had more of a tripe quality. In fact, they were totally done E3 style (shorthand in my household for Thai stir fry with chile and basil). The ma la rendition wasn’t Sichuan peppercorny in the least.
I had to try intestines because they popped up in more than one place on the menu. I find that Taiwanese food is strong in the right ways: pungent, oily, salty and spicy but not so much as Sichuan. This was my favorite of the three dishes I tried. I forget how good hacked up skin-on, bone-in chicken can be because I never cook it at home (where there’s just a sad bag of Costco chicken breasts in the freezer). That sounds potentially bland but was anything but. I had been looking for something called three cup chicken but didn’t see it on the menu, though it’s possible that it went by another name. Completely un-delicate, spicy and stew-y like cold weather fare.
I was thinking along pho lines but the stock is deep brown and much richer. The beef noodle soup didn’t suffer too much from the journey home because they package the noodles and broth separately, a nice touch.
The heaving bag I ultimately took to go had to have weighed over ten pounds. Instead, I stopped in for takeout spicy beef noodle soup and then got stymied by their three entrees for $19.95 special because there were so many choices. Taiwanese breakfast (sweet or salty soymilk and doughy things like you tiao and those bings that seemed to have taken Manhattan last year) is a draw but getting to Flushing in the a.m. 1/2 You might think noodles were the main attraction, based on King 5’s name but I’m not sure that that’s the case.
