88 Canteen - FLUSHING

Food is a little pricy but definitely good that’s why I always keep going back..

Since I was in the area for a few days, I was pretty happy to see a spot like this serving nostalgic foods. I had a Portuguese cheese baked chicken spaghetti, fish tofu over rice, beef pepper over rice and thousand year old congee.Portuguese sauce was the right flavor, but the chicken in it was certainly canned. The meat was pinkish like it was in a brine and pulled apart in shreds.Fish and beef dishes were overly salty. Both would have been good if that sauce over them didn't make me so parched.Last and the very least, congee. The taste certainly tells you the meat/bones they used have spoiled.Doubt I'll come here again and wouldn't recommend these dishes.

Affordable and filling portionsSalt n pepper pork chop was so oily that it put me in a food comaAlso wished I've read the 1 star reviews before ordering

Hong Kong style tea is my favorite. Fried noodles have flavor and crisp taste.

This place serving foods brought back my childhood memories of 茶餐廳 feel. Must visit when I stop by Queens again.
