Wu Liang Ye
From Peter Cherches:
I had dinner with a group of 10 last night at Wu Liang Ye, 36 W 48th St, New York 10036, btwn 5th & 6th Ave, across from Rockefeller Center. It's one of the few truly authentic Sichuan restaurants around, and it's Vogue food writer Jeffrey Steingarten's favorite New York Chinese restaurant. It's a bit upscale, but there are economies of scale with a large group, and it wasn't a heavy drinking crowd, so surprisingly the bill came to only $30 a head including tip. The menu was:
- Sichuan steamed mini pork buns
- Steamed spare ribs with spicy rice flour coating
- Dan dan noodles
- Crispy [tilapia] fish filet with Sichuan chili & minced pork
- Camphor tea smoked duck two ways - 1/2 on the bone, 1/2 shredded with ginger
- Ma po tofu
- Wok roasted sea scallops with pepper spiced salt
- Smoky hot shredded beef with spicy capiscum
- Braised shitake with baby bok choi
- Sauteed string beans with Yibin City spice
NYT other recommended dishes: Cold noodles with sesame sauce, soup with fish fillets and cabbage, dumplings, tea-smoked duck, double-cooked bacon with chili sauce, chef''s bean curd with spicy sauce.
Reservations recommended.
