Grocery shopping in Flushing, Queens

My family isn't so traditional on the holidays, so naturally, we went to Flushing, Queens (the other Chinatown, if not better) for lunch and some grocery shopping to prepare for the evening's concoctions.

Lunch was at a Taiwanese joint on Main St whose name translates to "North Port". It was absolutely delicious. Wish I had taken photos of that. Dishes included rich and greasy foods that utilized Chinese celery, fried tofu, kidney, liver, squid, spicy things, and others. The fried tofu was probably, hands down, our favorite dish. My dad said that the way to tell a really good Chinese place is if they appear to know how to make good tofu dishes, seeing as tofu is quite difficult to turn into culinary wonders.

Below, you'll see that I've posted some photos from our trip to one of our favorite supermarkets in Flushing, whose name I think translates to Golden Mountain ("Jin San"). "Jin San" is awesome. It's old, it's fucking crowded, and it's got a lot of authentic Chinese goods.
