The idea belonged to Chang’s then-boyfriend, another card-carrying food fanatic. (For the couple’s first date, they had gone to a festival called “Egg Rolls and Egg Creams.”) Telling me about the Neptune debacle, Chang sounds depressed, apologetic even. “We happened to be in Union Square, which always throws us off in our food choices,” she says.

He felt really bad, she says. “It was the first time he’s ever struck out picking a restaurant.” They broke up not long afterward.</i>"<br /><br />#neverforget<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-67112972273634809662017-10-05T09:41:11.452-04:002017-10-05T09:41:11.452-04:00@anon 8:54 - I don't think that Filipino food ...@anon 8:54 - I don't think that Filipino food is more expensive than Chinese good.

And EV Chinese restaurants can be equally expensive (Hot Kitchen on 2nd Ave, for example).DrGeckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480708164024012673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-39736860551876182832017-10-05T09:21:20.883-04:002017-10-05T09:21:20.883-04:00Lucky me - I had a hand surgeon who operated, so t...Lucky me - I had a hand surgeon who operated, so to speak. out of a building a few blocks from the NJ location, so got to eat there several times. Best Filipino food I've had anywhere in the area. And the NJ location, at least, was cheap, something that probably won't survive the trip across the Hudson, but if the food is as good, this will be a major addition to the neighborhood.DrGeckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480708164024012673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-33883847594114020892017-10-05T08:54:08.736-04:002017-10-05T08:54:08.736-04:00Why is filipino food so expensive compared to chin...Why is filipino food so expensive compared to chinese food?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
