    Flushing is a GOLDMINE. Queens in general, I just love how much culture and variation is there. I love that area, it feels like stepping off a plane when you come out of that 7station. I've never had bad food anywhere in Flushing. People care about their culture and traditions and are so proud to show everyone everything and I love that. Probably the only thing I love about NYC, I was never sheltered from diversity here. Definitely saved me in the long run and made me travel as an adult. I don't think I'd be as interested in experiences with other cultures the way I am now, if I didnt get to grow up around all types of people and food and languages. If you like cooking it also helps to diversify your palette and your PANTRY 😌💖

      Not sure why you think 1.4 billion people simultaneously caused a virus, but you do you.
      It's as if an attack on your country wouldn't make anybody upset. But if you really believe calling Chinese people Rona isn't discrimination, then you might need to re-valuate your public school education in your country, and consider sending your own kids elsewhere.
      If you really didn't care about OP's comment, you wouldn't bother. You're watching a video on Chinese food, you can kindly fuck off if you don't like it. Nobody is forcing you. Unlike you European colonial oppressors shits. 🤧

    The bread is soft, toasty, a bit flaky and a bit salty. And the fillings are phenomenally complex and savory. I def recommend the spicy tofu, cumin lamb and pork onion mushroom varieties.
