The amount and authenticity of Asian food in Queens is truly amazing. There’s savory Tibetan momo, juicy Shanghainese xiao long bao, Korean barbeque, crisp Indian dosa, Malaysian curry, and loads of regional Chinese, including Sichuan and the seldom-seen cuisine of Qingdao. What’s even more amazing is that the aforementioned are just some of the cuisines that will be represented under one roof at Monday’s Asian Feastival, at the Sheraton Laguardia in Flushing.
In addition to tastes from two dozen restaurants there will be workshops, including a kimchi demonstration by one of my favorite Korean food personalities Maangchi and an Asian farmer’s market. The day ends with me leading a walking tour of 20 Taste Hunters through downtown Flushing.
By now you’re probably drooling and wondering how to win a pair of tickets. It’s simple. Write a haiku like the ode to naeng myun above. All entries must reference Asian cuisine. Extra credit for mentioning both Queens and Asian food. (Bonus points for use of Mandarin, Malaysian, or Korean, just kidding.) The best poem wins the tickets plus a spot on the Taste Hunting tour. Deadline’s Sunday at 5 p.m. Sharpen those pencils and dip those quills kids.
[UPDATED 9/2/2010; 5:45pm] And the winner is .....Sairis who manages to mention three Asian cuisines as well Queens itself! Please email edit@ediblequeens.com and give us your full name so we can leave your tickets at will call! CONGRATULATIONS! And thanks everyone for contributing so many lovely haiku. See you at the Asian Feastival!
