Like the neighboring province of Yunnan, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region occupies largely mountainous terrain on China's border with Vietnam. The region's scenic former capital, Guilin, was previously home to the owners of Top Taste, a family-run operation that claims to serve "the only authentic Guilinese cuisine" in New York.
In Guilin, rice noodles are famously served with horse meat; in Sunset Park, protein is provided by beef, crispy pork (labeled "chicharron," owing to a Spanish-conversant menu maker), and toasted soy beans. Preserved green beans add a vital twang; so does a little chili sauce.
