Street Food Chinatown Buenos Aires



The videos are up! Sunday was another perfectly beautiful, stunningly splendid, summer's day ...and as luck would have it, the beautiful and talented 99 chose the afternoon for her Chinatown Street Food Safari.

Some of us jumped on the train in Retiro to make out to Barrio Chino ...and if you don't know about the train system here in town, you really should take a few moments and add that system to your taxi / subte / collectivo bag of tricks. It's tremendously fast and cheap. Check your 'hood for a rail station and keep it in mind for all the points along the line.

The food was scrumptious and unidentifiable ...and cheap. Nothing over 3 pesos. And lots of fun.

Mike, and luck finding General Tso's chicken? I've yet to find it here. I heard it the dish was created in NY.

Nope ...but we really weren't looking.

Just what ever was on the carts ...kinda like a perambulatory dim sum!

Oh, that looked tasty (and fun!). I wouldn't mind a field trip to Barrio Chino. I particularly liked your food interviews. Look out Barbara Walters! ;)

HA!

"Duh... did youse use any sauce? Is it salty?"

I'm glad you liked it ....but I think BaBa is safe for now.

besos,
Mike
