congee bowery
went to congee bowery on bowery and rivington with my cousin jae. apparently andrew zimmern from that show bizarre foods ate there. i did see some strange things on the menu but not as bizarre as what i saw when i went to beijing. but considering a lot of non-chinese people were there i guess it was pretty out there for the average patron. but most of them seemed as if they were just ordering normal chinese food like sesame chicken, beef and brocolli. i didn’t see anyone ordering shark’s fin soup, bird’s nest soup or chickens served with the head still attached, which are on the menu. :P we got the pig’s stomach with x.o. sauce, crab congee, and minced pork with salted fish. it was pretty good. tasted like chicken. hahah.
