Dinner @ Northern Manor, Flushing

Northern Manor is one of the best Chinese restaurants in New York. There is no ambience to speak of but the food is first rate. It’s our family’s go to place for chinese banquet dinners. If you’re spending $800 per table for 12 people, the grub better be good.
 
Banquet dinners are reserved for special ocassions like birthdays, anniversaries or the holidays. But, my family eats this way a lot. Now that my nieces and nephews are developing more sophisticated palates, we need to order two peking ducks instead of one.
 

What my mom orders:

Lobster Salad

Peking Duck

Bean Curd with Conch

Beef Cubes with Asparagus

Minced Chicken in Lettuce Cups with Hoisin Sauce

Fish Cubes Stir Fried with Vegetables

Crab Deep Fried in Garlic

Yang Chow Fried Rice

Fried Chicken

E Fu Noodles

Dessert
