For lunch we headed to Congee Village. Congee Village is always a favorite, but I think the main reason is because everyone wanted to watch the World Cup games on their big TV screen. Phil looking on while his Aunt Chan works on the noodles.
We ordered some of the standard stuff, like the garlic chicken
Some noodles with pork and green onions.
Of course you can't go to Congee Village without ordering some Congee (rice porridge).
Crispy noodles with beef, peppers and onions.
Beef noodle and fried tofu.
And of course the Chinese fried donuts with sweet sauce. There was so much food my stomach was about to pop when we were done.
We decided to walk off lunch a little bit back at the Hester Street Fair. We didn't dare stay out to long in the heat, but we did manage to pass by a stand selling cute little sock monkeys and sock elephants. So cute!
We hung out at Lucia's apartment for a while until Phil got his second wind and started craving something sweet. There was a new dessert place, fittingly named "Desserts"! Considering it was right across the street from Lucia's apartment, which in the heat was a major plus, we decided to give it a try.
The owner had just moved in and was still in the middle of rennovating the space, so things were kind of all over the place, but she was very friendly. We decided to try her ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream was definitely homemade since she was scraping it out of what looked like a baking tin.
Chocolate chip cookies with peach ice cream. Yum! It was actually really good and very affordable by NY standards - $1.50 each. Can't wait to see what the place is like once she gets completely settled.
