\nThe more I post about this place, the more I want to return, if only to have another go at establishing a communications link with the folks at Farmers Restaurant, 1692 86th St, Brooklyn. Everything we tasted at this eatery in Bensonhurst\u2019s Chinatown (yes, that\u2019s a thing) was wonderful and I\u2019m keen to sample some different dishes next time despite the language barrier. It\u2019s worth noting that verbal exchanges aside, the take-out menu differs from the online menu which differs from the heavily redacted in-house menu \u2013 not to mention any specials of the day. I like a challenge.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Crab with Sticky Rice from the Chef\u2019s Specialties section of the take-out menu. This kind of dish looks deceptively simple, but it\u2019s not always easy to get it right; working with sticky rice requires some finesse and the chef had plenty.<\/p>\n

This one is for friends who accuse me of never posting photos of vegetables (let alone ordering them \ud83d\ude09): water spinach, aka water convolvulus, aka water morning glory plus a frustrating litany of increasingly misleading names, served here with garlic sauce (another vegetable!) \u2013 tasty, green, and good for you. Right? It grows in water and its hollow stems are the clue to positive ID; they provide the buoyancy that keeps the leaves afloat. I\u2019m not entirely sure if this was on any of the menus!<\/p>\n

Looking forward to going back!
