Pork Chop Peking Style

[sharonj]

Jimmy's House in Manhattan used to have the crispiest, and best Pork Chop peking style years ago. I've had some since then but nowhere near as good. Any suggestions? It would be great if it's somewhere in Elmhurst or Queens.

I've had good renditions of this dish at Happy Garden (60-06 Main Street) in Flushing. Personally, I prefer the salt and pepper fried pork chops, which is basically the same dish without the sauce.

how is that place? ive seen it before bc its next to bei gang (main street imperial), but never eaten there

[Robotron]

My parents are Cantonese and Happy Garden is their favorite restaurant in Flushing, both for the food and the ease of parking. Also seems to be a favorite among my relatives, since I've been to more than a few celebratory dinners there over the last year. I prefer spicier fares which they don't have there, but they are very good with Cantonese style dishes. My parents like to order the crabs in sticky rice there.

They have several private dining rooms downstairs and I believe their 2nd floor dining room is now open.

hmm interesting, ill give it a try

[Lau]

btw what are your favorite dishes there?

[Robotron]

I like fried stuff (and who doesn't) so I like to order the deep fried crispy bean curd, the pork chop w chili & salt, or the fried squid w chili & salt. Also some of the casseroles are very good: curry beef stew, diced chicken & eggplant w salted fish, and lamb and dried bean curb. I'm not a fan of fish but I like their sauteed fish fillet. They usually serve a good bowl of complimentary soup with the meal but the soups on the menu are also good (don't remember which ones my parents ordered).

I did have a bad dish, stead w black pepper sauce, the other day for lunch so don't order that.

One last thing, don't order the deep fried stuff for take-out. They won't stay crispy on the way home.

i never get take out so thats not a problem

sounds good, typical cantonese family style stuff...ill give it a try

go the Imperial Palace, they do an excellent rendition (I eat this dish almost everytime i go to a Cantonese restaurant. The downfall tends to be either the pork chops are soggy and not crispy, the sauce is too watery or too gloppy or too sweet, but IP gets it right (although their sauce is slightly watery than i like) and does a very good job on these (SCG probably did the best job, but they're closed now)

There is a Cantonese restaurant named 鳯凰阁 @45 Ave in Elmhurst; sorry, forgot their English name (something like High Sea Pearl?), but it's next door to the Hong Kong Supermarket. They make good pork chops Peking style, and the ribs cooked the same way are even better.

The English name of this place is High Pearl Seafood, 8222 45th Ave, Flushing, NY 11373-3539. I've never had this dish there, but can vouch for the quality of that restaurant's beef chow fun cooked dry - gawn chow ngow haw.

I wouldn't recommend Joe's Shanghai for this dish, even if they do serve it, which I kind of doubt. And while I haven't had it at Canton Gourmet on Prince Street in Flushing, based on their salt and pepper pork chops, I'd say it's very good there. Note, these two dishes are essentially the same, except the salt and pepper pork chops skip the sauce and are covered instead with fried jalapenos and shallots and a liberal dose of salt.

I'll vouche for Canton Gourmet's version, which I've had a few times. It's my favorite in the city. Imperial Palace does a good job as well.

A few years too late, but Hop Kee on Mott Street in Chinatown has excellent authentic porkchop peking style.
