Tianjin Breakfast-$1 "The Authentic Flavor That Could Give You the Energy for the Whole Day!"

Tianji is a metropolis in northern China and one of the five national central cities of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is governed as one of the four direct-controlled municipalities of the PRC, and is thus under direct administration of the central government. (Wiki)

Other than that, Tianji is very famous for its street food and cuisine. Its food is full of history and culture and is very different from the others. This was my very first time trying authentic Tianjin food in my life. Their breakfast is pretty much similar to Taiwanese breakfast yet a little bit different. But I really liked the taste! You had so many different choices and most importantly, it was so cheap that only cost me and my friend $3 dollars each! The store is located in Golden Shopping Mall.

Ku Shang Taiwanese Cuisine-$8 "The Most Famous Taiwanese Restaurant in New York!"

Ku Shang is the translation from Mandarin. The word means hometown. In this case it means Taiwan. The restaurant has been opened for more than 10 years. The owner Nancy and her family moved to the U.S in 1977. She said at first, she didn't like to cook at all. She was just helping her husband and it really was a tiring job to open a restaurant especially when you have to take care of a family. But now all the clients are like her family. She likes to cook for them and see them feeling satisfied.

Ku Shang restaurant is now opened for more than ten year. Almost all the Taiwanese hear of the restaurant because of word of mouth. The owner said that Ku Shang restaurant will only maintain one spot in Flushing. She said she wants to control the quality of the dishes. People come to their restaurant not only for the  food, but also for the emotional connection with their hometown Taiwan.
