My quest to eat my way through the new HK Food Court in Elmhurst, Queens at 82-02 45th Ave continues. It\u2019s not born of gluttony, I assure you. One of the goals of my food tours<\/a> is to present guests with unusual and delicious examples of international treats from the neighborhood, and the only way I can do that authoritatively is to experience a wide variety of what\u2019s available myself. Hey, it\u2019s a tough job, but somebody\u2019s gotta do it! \ud83d\udc37<\/p>\n

Khawachen presents the cuisine of Tibet, certainly a welcome change of pace in any food court. If the video tout heralding the stall looks familiar, I believe it hails from the original Lhasa Fast Food in Jackson Heights \u2013 you know, Queens\u2019 worst kept food secret \u2013 because of the ownership link between the two.<\/p>\n

\nLamb Thenthuk Fried. Hand-pulled thumb-sized wheat noodles (also available in soup), saut\u00e9ed with peppers and onions. The accompanying condiments were a good idea. If you like thick, chewy noodles, you\u2019ll be happy with these. If you don\u2019t…really?<\/p>\n
