The Thousands

While you’re hanging on to dreams of BBC and salt & pepper squid from delicious It-eatery Ying Chow, freezing or sweating your ass off in a queue, a select few are down at ‘The City’ getting salt & pepper eggplanted, BBQ ducked, and Tsing Tao’d out of their minds.

As long as there are a bazillion Chinese eateries in the area, it can be hard to know were to find the goods and, to be honest, BBQ City is a little scary. Maybe it’s the BBQ’d whole ducks in the window – sorry vego’s – maybe it’s their hygiene record? Either way, it’s mind blowing.

The method:
Mix yourself some roast duck (or your preferred vegetarian option – the salt & pepper eggplant is super tasty), something green but hopefully deep fried with some Tsing Tao and enter an altered reality. Who knows what is in it, but when it is really this good, who cares? This combination will make you feel like you’ve been licking the back of a deliciously salty psychedelic toad or taken a little trip to Mount Crawford Forest after some rain. You’ll go places you’ve never been before, man. Not even at Ying Chow, man.
