Friendship Plaza

Lots of stalls in here. There is a place that has great vegetable buns and soup. Seating is across the isle from it.

Great place to sip bubble tea with friends

While on the last leg of my trip to get to Flushing, driving down Main St, I noticed a «plaza» that I had never seen before. The sign let me know that Best Northern Dumpling had moved there, so I wondered what else could be inside. Was this another food court?
In the middle of the plaza (a long hall really) was good Ol’ Best Northern, it was comforting to see the same menu, like seeing an old friend. We enjoyed some fluffly veggie buns here, as they were out of most other things.
At the end of the hall was a stall with zero English posted anywhere and zero English spoken. I didn’t want to give up, because the little pork wontons being made looked so good, so after several minutes, I got them to serve me something. I just wasn’t sure what… For $ 3 I got a boiling hot (no, really, I burnt my mouth badly) cup of pork wonton soup. The wontons with their silken wrappers and slightly sweet pork contents were the star, though the delicate broth was impressive too. And they don’t cheap out on the wontons, the soup was full of them. There is a bit of a timing issue here though, you want to let the soup cool, but as you wait the wonton skins slowly disintegrate. The proper gobble method must be a skill learned with practice.
