Relatively cheap eats up & around the NY Asian Film festival!
July 17th, 2011 by Mr. C
Of course with the frenzy of attending 20+ movie screenings at the New York Asian film festival in the Lincoln Center & Japan Society area from July 1st-14th, there had to be a decent staple of affordable foods to fuel these chiseled silhouettes of ours! We tried to keep it fun by eating the same region themed food as the movie that we were screening for the night! For example, if we watched BANGKOK KNOCKOUT then Thai food it would be! If it was the korean sea of vengeance theme, then BON CHON chicken…cluck, cluck, cluck..here we come! When someone said SELL OUT(Malaysian), we did our best & went to an Indonesian joint in Hell’s Kitchen! Did you say HORNY HOUSE OF HORROR? Donburi-ya on 47th street, make room for the planet chocko shogun raggamuffins…Sho-nuff! One of our rag-tag team champions of many things japanese, mondo curry-san breaks it down much better on his mondo curry epicuriosities food blog of NYC cheap eats! Without further adieu AND with the same energy as Jim Belushi in ANIMAL HOUSE (1978)…..FOOD PORN!!!
