Fung Mei
A quickie post as I’m afraid this Chinese-Korean place is on its way to my “Death Watch” (if I ever had one). Death Watch is a term coined I first heard from my good friend Eli Zandman of Tomorrow’s News Today. It’s a list of businesses that, according to him, are “good as dead or should quit while they’re ahead.” Seems it was originally from Eater.com. Now I love Fung Mei. The food and service are both exemplary. The ambiance and decor are both top notch — you ought to see the huge aquariums that double as dividers. However, with the opening of Golden House nearby, I’m sure the clientele will shift to the new Cantonese place.
Jajangmyeon. Homemade noodles with a side of fermented soy bean sauce has always been my favorite. The version here is good. A little less smoky and a bit more sweetish than what I prefer, but tasty nonetheless.
Did you know? This smoked pork is amazing. There’s no other word to describe it. The thin slices of pork belly are smoked then stir-fried with leeks. There is no other place that makes it better in this part of town. Get it.
The menu is extensive so there’s something for everyone. Food is really good. Go before it’s too late.

In recent weeks, their version of “Shan City” chicken has been fantastic, spot on. But you never can tell how their dry fried green beans will turn out.
My wife needs a “go to” dish here, which for her would be a ‘kicked up’ chicken dish with plenty of vegetables. Any suggestions?

Actually, Eli Zandman stole the term (and the graphic) for “Death Watch” from Eater.com, which has been doing the feature for 5 years. http://ny.eater.com/tags/death-watch?page=4
