Day 2 - Flushing -> Lunch at Flushing Noodles

We gathered at the airport before the tour bus consolidated and picked us all to Flushing for lunch.
Enroute to lunch. St George's Church. There are many beautiful churches in New York.



Flushing, Queens, a historical New York neighborhood is best known for its flourishing Chinatown area,
the second-largest in New York City and growing quickly. Today, it is even larger than the Chinatown in lower
Manhattan.





I did some homework before arrival and Flushing Noodles was recommended by many people. It is operated by HK migrants.

We ordered a set meal for 3 that came with 3 bowls of rice and 3 soups. The 3 dishes can be selected from a menu of many dishes.
All the dishes except the fish which was not fresh, were tasty. Tea was free. We also ordered HK wanton noodles which was good.
Very authentic HK fare. Chinese food in US is normally quite horrible but this is good. We enjoyed the hearty meal.

Total cost including tax & tips: US$35
