(This venue is closed.) I'm told it stays crisp even after a spell in the fridge.
Though how a Katz's pastrami egg roll ($4.50), prepared to the specifications of dim sum master Joe Ng, would ever make it to the fridge is beyond me. Also shown below are a Benton's smoked bacon egg roll ($2.95), crispy chicken and shrimp pops (three for $4.95; I had greedily snatched one before remembering myself), skewered chicken and shrimp dumplings ($4.95), and a short rib bun ($4.50). Not shown: black pepper pork potstickers ($5.25), spicy beef wontons ($5.95), iced green tea (large, $2.45).
My tasting was assembled (and comped) by Asian food authority Ed Schoenfeld, who demonstrated the self-service ordering stations and the electronic status display (suggestive of a keno board, except that everyone comes up winners). Schoenfeld also led a tour of FoodParc's other current stalls — burgers, beer, and artisanal bacon at 3Bs, brick-oven Italian at Fornetti, French press go-cups with your morning paper at The Press — and pointed to the outdoor plaza that soon will host six to ten select mobile vendors. More strolls through the Parc coming soon.
